The Archers - 15/06/2009

Debbie's e-mailed her plans for Thursday's Borchester Land board meeting. Adam's impressed. Jennifer knows that putting the set-aside land back into cultivation will upset William but Adam insists that the birds come second to producing food. Jennifer's impressed by Lilian's idea of a strawberry tea party in the summerhouse for Jack's birthday and is pleased that they seem to have healed their rift. Peggy's just saddened to hear things aren't good between Lilian and Matt. Susan's concerned for Neil's business. Clarrie's equally concerned that Eddie has no work but at least she's got her flower arranging to distract her. She thanks Susan for the loan of the bowl. Neil returns from his reunion in good spirits but Susan's got a bone to pick with him - fancy not telling her he's lent her lovely fruit bowl to Clarrie. When she tells him that Paul Clifford is about to go under, Neil gets hold of him and he confirms the rumours. Things are bad but Neil remains optimistic. Clarrie apologises for the misunderstanding over the bowl but it's no longer important to Susan. She's worried how they're going to keep Neil's business going - just when things ought to be getting easier. Episode written by Graham Harvey.
