The Archers - 22/10/2009

Will sounds off to Brian about Borchester Land renting the 50 acres to Ed. He thinks it will be damaging for his birds, he says. Brian gives him short shrift. This is really all about Will's relationship with his brother, and Brian isn't having it. It's a short lease, if it doesn't work it won't be renewed, and that's all there is to it. The whole family is very concerned about Jack, who is becoming increasingly difficult for Peggy to manage. Peggy takes him on a visit to the Laurels again - just quietly, the two of them. They have a calm and quiet time in the garden there. Gossip is spreading about the shop closing. Lynda talks to Elizabeth, who doesn't really know anything about it. Concerned Pat approaches Brian about it. Brian tells her he is convinced that the easiest thing for Peggy is to close the shop and turn it into a flat. He's already told Peggy he'll handle the conversion. But Pat thinks they don't need to move quite so quickly. There must be something else they can do. Episode written by Tim Stimpson.
