The Archers - 30/08/2009

Ben's bored because Josh is on the computer. Ruth suggests Ben helps her and Jill with making beeswax polish. As they are working, Usha pops round with her holiday photos, claiming she's a hardened camper. Jill lets the cat of the bag, saying that Alan told her about the great views from the hotel. Ruth teases Usha, who says they had no choice; everything got wet from the thunderstorm. Usha realises she did have a good time, but must get a bigger tent next year. Sid's not happy about Wayne helping out in the bar and challenges Wayne to help Freda in the kitchen. Fallon wants Sid to find him something else, but Sid wants to see if he can do some real work. Sid can't believe that Wayne has lasted in the kitchen. Fallon says he's had loads of experience working in a bakery, but Sid's still not convinced. Jill's fishing from Sid what Freda is doing for the show when Wayne comes out of the kitchen. To Sid's dismay, Freda has insisted that he becomes her regular help. Wayne asks if he can tell her yes? Sid says, if it's what she wants, he can tell her what he likes. Episode written by Simon Frith.
