The Archers - 20/07/2009

Roy's helping Phoebe make a welcome home banner for Mike and "Grandma Vicky". Hayley returns and Roy gets ready to leave. Roy tells Hayley there aren't any spare tickets for Brenda's graduation. Hayley understands. Roy asks Hayley if she thinks Vicky will too? Hayley can't see why not. Ruth phones Adam. Why don't they organise Eddie to do some milking for them, so David can drive the combine? Adam says no. David hasn't driven one for years, or one of that size. Adam just can't risk it. Lilian goes to the Dower House and lets herself in, much to Matt's surprise. She asks him what he's doing emptying their joint account. What does he need money for? Matt says he's involved in a business deal, importing shoes from India. Lilian's horrified he's involved in something illegal, but Matt's excited by the buzz. Lilian's worried that Matt's not looking after himself. Matt says Lilian will never understand how it feels to have lost everything. But Lilian thinks Matt could end up in prison for even longer. They can make it work, they have each other. Matt refuses to back out of his deal and Lilian sadly says she'll therefore have to close their joint account. Episode written by Carole Simpson Solazzo.
