The Archers - 30/06/2010

Brian helps David tending an injured heifer. They talk about the barley and Eddie's latest find - "Mystic Josie". After Brian leaves, Ruth reveals shock news. Pip lied when she said her tutor wasn't bothered about her leaving college. Fortunately, there's still a window for Pip to go back. But it won't be open for long. Annabelle has discovered the facts that Brian needs, but it's not all good news. The potential land for the new market is owned by Perivale Garden Centre, and two farmers. The meetings are already confirmed but Brian knows one of the farmers, Joseph Hastings, could pose a problem. Kenton thanks Kirsty for looking after Jamie. It's the first time he's seen him smile since he came back from New Zealand. Kenton says he'd turned Pip down for work. But he admires their similarities, saying he always had itchy feet for travelling too. Unfortunately, Kenton's enthusiasm isn't shared by all. An angry phone call from David follows, reprimanding him for encouraging his niece. Ruth and David are still frustrated by Pip's plans with Jude. Ruth suggests inviting Jude over. At least they can discuss the plans, rather than digging their heels in. Maybe then Pip will come to her senses.
