The Archers - 18/08/2009

Ian and Kenton are in the shop. Annette tells them she doesn't think Helen's date went well, as she didn't stay over at Leon's. Ian tells Annette that isn't obligatory on a first date, but Annette says Leon might think Helen doesn't like him. Kenton and Ian agree they're glad they aren't young any more. Pat tells Helen that Tony isn't keen on Tom and Helen being farm account signatories but she's sorted it - he's outvoted. Later, Pat calls in on exhausted Peggy. Pat says they went away in the wrong week. Peggy doesn't know what she'll do if they can't find another carer. Kenton goes with Jim to a vintage car showroom. They end up deciding on a sky blue Riley. They're late back at Jaxx, so Jim calls Naomi with an elaborate excuse for Kenton. Ian and Helen have lunch together and talk about Helen's date. Annette's already given Ian the lowdown. Helen thinks Leon will reckon she's a neurotic freak after she bolted. Ian says if Leon's as nice as he sounds, he'll call. Later, Helen tells Annette not to gossip about her. Helen's phone rings. It's Leon, asking her out again. She's delighted, but Annette mustn't breathe a word to anyone.
