The Archers - 31/10/2008

Eddie, Kenton and Joe are talking fireworks and ghost walks, with Kenton wanting to combine the two for atmosphere. With bangers ruled out, Kenton says he'll think of something else to sound like musket fire. They go through the walk schedule but Joe's happy to do his own sound effects. Their fervent hope that Lynda won't come on the walk is dashed when she makes an appearance, eager to keep tabs on the Grundys and their 'historical facts'. She's soon casting aspersions on their tales. But her interference is cut mercifully short by her ever-worsening cough. Peggy's adamant she's improving and wants desperately to go home. She's convinced Lilian to do some clandestine food shopping and get The Lodge cleaned. Lilian's not happy but Peggy points out that Lilian didn't consult her over Jack; this is her chance to put things right. Later Peggy seeks Lilian's help once more, asking her for her support on Sunday when she's set on going home. She predicts that Jennifer will be against it, and sure enough when Peggy tackles her about it she seems immovable. Lilian tries to persuade Jennifer. If Tony and Pat pitch in, surely they can make it work? Episode written by Caroline Harrington.
