Logo for The Archers - 20/10/2008

Eddie's roped in Fat Paul and Kenton to play parts in the ghost walk, promising it'll be worth their while. Eddie's pleased Will's coming to Borchester tomorrow to see George, and hopes he might even come home for Christmas. The bad summer has at least produced excellent cider apples. Neil and Tony help Joe and Eddie with the pressing. Neil moans about the messy workmen at Mike's place; he and Christopher clean up thoroughly whenever they work on the flat, which is shaping up nicely. The bell simulator is fixed up and they're seeking new ringers. Brian's pleased with Tom's bacon production costs but is surprised Tom hasn't researched the market. Brian agrees Tom should drop the less profitable Gourmet Grills events. Brian also approves of Tom's proposal to take on an assistant - but isn't sure what Tom actually knows about the guy he's considering. But that's not Brian's concern, as he won't be responsible for Gary's wages. Tom's not really thought about that. Tom's annoyed that Tony hasn't mentioned the latest offer for the farm, and won't accept that it's looking out of reach. Tony tells Tom not to get his hopes up, or he and Helen are going to be horribly disappointed. Episode written by Adrian Flynn.
