The Archers - 31/08/2008

Lynda's taking photographs at church for her competition entry, much to Bert's irritation. He thinks flower and produce shows should be for flowers and produce. He intends to enter the master gardener category, and later practises for next week's ploughing match. But Lynda catches up with him yet again, camera in hand. She may have some competition however. Phil tells Brian he's thinking of entering some of his photographs of the stars. Tom's trying to be civil to Brian, but he feels Brian's being patronising, and says as much to Brenda. But Brenda says she doesn't blame Brian. He gave Tom his big chance and now Tom's throwing it back in his face. Tom insists that the success of the pig business is down to his own hard work, but Brenda points out that if Brian hadn't invested in Tom in the first place there wouldn't be a business at all. Tom accuses her of taking sides and goes to storm off, forgetting his shoes and losing his dignity in his hurry. With the situation somewhat diffused Brenda assures Tom that she supports him, but she feels it's complicated. Tom admits he doesn't know how it's going to work out. Episode written by Keri Davies.
