The Archers - 15/07/2008

Matt goes into Borchester to see Lyndsey the social worker about tracing his birth mother. He phones Lilian from a café - he's just having a quiet coffee. Lilian is pleased to hear the meeting went well - they are going to try to find his mother's birth certificate and take it from there. He tells Lilian again not to make too much of it. There's every chance that his mother will have died. Joe tells Eddie that Ed thought long and hard before he split up with Fallon. Ed talked to Joe about it, and it was not a decision he took lightly. Eddie says how hard it is for Clarrie, but Joe reckons it's like Mildred says - people have to come round in their own time, and you can't run their lives for them. Joe gets teased in the shop as he chooses some chocolates for Mildred, but Susan thinks it's romantic. The whole village is talking about the threat to Tony and Pat's packhouse. Neil is biding his time deciding which tug-of-war team to join. As they chat, they muse on the future for Will and Emma. They're getting on so well these days. Neil and Susan wonder if they might get back together. Episode written by Carole Simpson Solazzo.
