The Archers - 27/11/2008

Alan and Usha have come to an agreement about the furniture - they load it into a van and take it to an auction house. Alan is happy for it to be used by someone else. However, when they get to the auctioneers, the furniture is rejected. Alan is astonished - as far as he's concerned, it's all good stuff - but they are forced to take it to a charity. Hayley and Roy sample Tom's bacon, and it's a success even though Roy smothers his in ketchup. The builders are still crashing around outside. They go and see Peggy, and are amazed at the amount of wood in the garden from one branch. Hayley volunteers Roy to build a bench from it with Mike. Roy is not keen, but Peggy is. Lilian tells Jennifer to go and enjoy meeting Marshall. Jennifer says she owes Lilian one. Peggy expresses her worry to Alan about the strain on her family. He encourages her, telling her how well she's doing. Just for a while, she'll have to lean on other people. It's payback time. Episode written by Joanna Toye.
