The Archers - 28/08/2009

Miserable Usha didn't sleep, she was damp and uncomfortable. Alan says it was dry in the tent, but Usha reminds him they got drenched coming back from the Snells. She just wants a hot bath. Alan says they should find a hotel. He wants Usha to be happy. Later, Alan and Usha lounge on their hotel bed and Usha confesses she'd been dreading their holiday. Alan says she should have said, but Usha says the damp night makes her appreciate the hotel - they should stay there all afternoon. It's their anniversary after all. Sid tells surprised Jolene that Wayne had agreed to leave today. Ed chats to Fallon in the Bull. She tells him Wayne's still there and the atmosphere's terrible. Hopefully he'll be out of their hair soon. Mike arrives and he and Ed go through their Borchester Land proposal, which Brenda had helped to write. They're both pleased with it. Jolene tells Sid none of them want Wayne back on the streets, getting ill again. Fallon joins in. She doesn't want Wayne ill again - she'll feel responsible. Sid can't believe it. How long before Wayne's back on his feet? Jolene says no-one can foretell the future. Episode written by Caroline Harrington.
