The Archers - 23/02/2009

Hannah's with the pigs at Home Farm, and Brian appears, offering his help. He tells Hannah what a great team they'll make. Hannah says she's changed her mind about staying. Brian's shocked - he needs her! He tries to tempt her to stay but she says she can't. Brenda's in the outer office at the Dower House looking for her phone. She overhears Matt and Stephen Chalkman. Matt's furious with Chalky - he's off on holiday when their company's in real danger. Matt says they'll be lucky if they're not found out. Chalky tells Matt to calm down - he could blow things for both of them. Brenda's phone rings and she's discovered. Chalkman tells Matt he shouldn't trust her, then leaves. Matt asks a shaken Brenda what she's heard. Matt plays down the significance of his row with Chalky, but tells her she mustn't repeat anything. And how about he helps Tom with his pigs after all? Later, Matt reassures Chalky on the phone - Brenda knows what'll happen if she squeals. Brian tells Adam that Hannah's leaving. Adam says surely this means Brian will have to sell to Tom now? Brian's insistent he'll manage. He's not letting go of the supermarket deal. Episode written by Nawal Gadalla.
