The Archers - 26/05/2008

Susan and Neil attempt to feed George but he is being difficult. Mike pops round and decides to tag along with them to the fair at Lower Loxley. Mike says that Roy and Hayley were saddened after visiting Jack. After being such a sharp businessman, it's hard to believe how he is now. At the fair, Pat tells Nigel they will put up a fight about the barn. Nigel says they will miss Kathy when she leaves but are hoping that Lorna, the temp, will apply for the job. Mike tells Nigel that he has found someone who should be able to fix the ha-ha. Susan stops at Pat's stall and mentions Matt and the barn. News is spreading! When Ed's car breaks down, he leaves a message for Eddie, asking him to collect him. As he starts walking, Emma's car approaches. She persuades him to get in and, after an awkward start, Emma apologizes for overstepping the mark previously. She says she accepts he's happy with Fallon but wants to be friends. Ed says it's not possible. There's too much history and he's moved on. Emma's not convinced and presses him but Ed says it's not going to happen and not to keep asking him.
