The Archers - 27/01/2009

It looks as if the calf will make a full recovery. Ruth praises Pip for being such a star last night. David thinks she was absolutely fantastic. They're very proud, but Pip modestly declares she just did what any farmer would do Fallon's keen to see the flat above the shop. Susan shows her round and Fallon's impressed - she can even see how one room could be turned into a recording studio. Brian sounds Maurice out and asks how he'd feel if he was offered more hours. Maurice is interested, although surprised that Tom hasn't mentioned a possible production increase. Brian quickly points out this is his side of the business and it's probably best not to bother Tom with it. Brian has a similar word with Hannah. She agrees to think about the possibility of doing a few extra hours once she's back at college. Brian knows how stressed Tom's been lately and suggests it's probably best not to mention any of this to him. It would be dreadful to raise his hopes and then disappoint him if things don't go to plan. Hannah agrees - and wishes she had an uncle as thoughtful as Brian.
