The Archers - 30/04/2009

Eddie carries out some research to see if the coins he found whilst digging the soil for the new patio at the vicarage are worth anything. One of them is a George III sixpence, it could be worth a fortune! Clarrie foils his plans. If it's valuable he'll have to return it to Alan. It could help fund the repairs to the church roof. Alan tells Eddie about his uncle who was able to buy a property following a successful find with a metal detector. But the coin's not valuable after all, Alan tells Eddie to give it to George, the king's namesake. Kenton leaves Frank in charge of Jaxx while he takes a ten minute break. But an hour later he still hasn't returned and the café's packed with disgruntled customers. Naomi's gone home after her shift and Frank can't cook and serve at the same time. David offers to help. When Kenton returns, he's less than gracious about David's assistance. What if the environmental health people had turned up? Who knows where David's hands have been! Angry David leaves, telling Kenton he needs to get his act together. Naomi won't let him take advantage of her like Emma did. Episode written by Joanna Toye.
