The Archers

Akram's enthusiasm for helping with the fete begins to backfire. Azra has little sympathy for his pressed schedule, and when he asks her to cover a meeting for him while he handles a plumbing emergency, she's unimpressed. Grudgingly she capitulates and attends the meeting, and despite her insistence she's there merely as a scribe, Lynda ropes her into contributing suggestions for a big idea. When Azra floats the idea of a traditional fete, Lynda seizes on it. Akram arrives just in time to be handed a growing list of tasks—including gauging public opinion and securing sponsorship. Tracy's astounded to hear Neil's invited Martyn Gibson to her birthday party, declaring it would be a disaster. Jazzer assures her Martyn declined, but reluctantly admits he himself left the door open in case Martyn found himself free. Tracy now doesn't know where things stand. She'll have to tidy the house, and they'll need to spill into the garden for more room. When Jazzer protests the garden's a tip, Tracy instructs him to do some weeding. She's initially impressed with his idea for live music, until she realises he means Dross. For Tracy this is a step too far. Kenton considers security options at the Bull. When his first choice of staffing is unavailable, Mick volunteers his services. He can start tonight. However his over-zealous approach almost scares Jazzer away, and Kenton suggests being unobtrusive and mingling with customers might be more effective than frisking them. Mick just needs to watch and listen.

George has a confession to make, and Jazzer finds himself in sticky situation.

Akram bites off more than he can chew, and Susan fears for the future.

Justin stirs the pot, and security is tightened at the Bull.

Eddie puts the finishing touches to his nomination of the Bull for an award. Amber comes downstairs all ready for a day's haymaking. Eddie questions her clothes choice; it can get grubby helping with the hay. Amber assures him she sees farmers all the time at work. When he realises she works at Farm Supplies he cheekily hopes for a discount. Clarrie scolds him fondly, but Amber's preoccupied with her socials. When Clarrie arrives at the hay field she's surprised to find Amber driving the tractor. Will asks how long she'll be staying at Grange Farm. Clarrie isn't sure – though she feels things aren't right between Amber and her parents. Amber comments that George misses all this, and the farm. She remembers his posts from last year and how cute and tanned he looked. That's probably when she fell for him. Eddie recalls George's last night of freedom at the farm, and is touched to hear that George recounted an anecdote to Amber about the escaped turkeys last year. Eddie can't wait for George to get home. Amber assures him that George cares about him and Clarrie a lot. As rain threatens Amber steps up, letting Eddie drive while she and Will lug the bales. Will praises Amber's work ethic. Clarrie thinks there's more to her than she lets on. Amber's delighted Oliver's said she can stay on at Grange Farm. Eddie reminds her about her apology to Neil – Clarrie won't forget the condition. Amber wonders if she can duck it, but Eddie's not sure it's a risk worth taking.

In a break from band auditions Jazzer joins Tracy in the beer garden, where Tortoise the cat is happy to be fed a morsel of chicken as a treat. Tracy can't believe Jazzer thought Martyn was having an affair with Lilian. They agree Martyn needs cheering up; a new girlfriend might help. Ed and Fallon mull over the band members they've seen so far. None of them seem right and Ed comments they're making him feel old. He wonders ruefully if they're past the ‘band' stage. Later with their last prospect a no-show they admit defeat. They wish they could locate their original member, Ash. Jazzer produces an old publicity photo they reminisce. When he plays a cassette of their music as well, it proves too much and Fallon begs him to turn it off. She and Ed agree they were awful, but Jazzer insists they had raw talent. When their only half suitable auditionee turns them down due to ‘musical differences', they see the funny side and decide to have a jam for old times' sake. Eddie's still complaining about the Bull food. Jolene wonders if something's upset him, but Ed backs his dad up. The customer has to have what they want. Jolene grits her teeth and changes Eddie's meal. When he finds a chair too wobbly, Jolene's had enough, and Ed tells his dad to come clean. They admit Eddie's been testing the level of service – there's a pub award up for grabs and he's nominated the Bull! And they've passed all his tests with flying colours.

Clarrie puts her foot down, and Jazzer struggles to maintain boundaries.

Emma's plan backfires, and Eddie is up to something.

There's a shock for Susan, and Lilian offers the benefit of her experience.

Neil finds himself under attack and Lilian has concerns

Justin's suspicions are aroused, and Jazzer is not happy.

Brad scrolls through Amber's posts online while listening to George on the phone, boasting about his gorgeous girlfriend. When Brad mentions Tilly Button George is scathing – Amber is in a different league. Brad reckons George should slow down, but George insists that Amber is the one. She gets him like no one else does. George then asks Brad to retrieve the t-shirt from his room that he was wearing when Amber first saw him. She wants to wear it next time she visits. Outside No. 1 The Green Brad remembers Amber from school, telling her she looks really different, but Amber shuts him down. Once inside Brad becomes irritated by Amber's patronising attitude, reminding her how she used to look at school before she grabs the t-shirt and goes.Usha drives Kenton to the police station, having persuaded them to let him do the Identification again. She gives him a pep talk, but Kenton just wants it all to be over. Afterwards, Kenton buys Usha lunch, telling her he definitely identified the right man. He'd still rather not give evidence in court though. Harrison warned Kenton that the defence team will more than likely use him bottling out the first time to discredit him. Usha mulls over the pros and cons of what Kenton has done, before concluding it demonstrates Kenton's strength of character in overcoming his fears. But the only way to stop Markie and his gang from doing this to someone else is by giving evidence. Kenton agrees, saying that it would put an end to the nightmare of shame he's been suffering.

During her interview at The Bull Joy admits her catering industry experience is limited, while Kenton's attention is elsewhere. Joy clearly has the passion, and Fallon is supportive. But when Kenton leaves abruptly, followed by concerned Fallon, Joy is left with Tracy, who fills her in on Kenton's troubled weekend after the ID parade. Joy then comes to the rescue as the pub is inundated with roadworkers wanting sandwiches and Tracy can't cope on her own. Meanwhile, outside in the car park, Kenton confesses to being haunted by the dog that attacked him. Fallon's sympathetic, suggesting he take some time out, but Kenton can't - they're far too busy. Fallon then helps Joy complete the order for the roadworkers and is very impressed by the way Joy coped and stuck to their house style: classy but not fussy. Joy recommends Usha to Kenton for helpful advice on legal matters, before Fallon offers Joy the job, with Kenton's backing.At school dinner time Clarrie tells Henry she's getting much less grief from the kids now she's being more assertive. Henry agrees, having seen her in action. But later Henry tells Helen he's worried Clarrie might have overdone things and become too outspoken. Clarrie then turns up at Beechwood with an apple bake for Natasha and the girls, taking the opportunity to offer Henry a lift home from school, if ever he needs one. That's a step too far for Henry, who confides in Helen that he fears he may just have helped create a monster!

While watching the cricket against Greenbury Usha tells Joy she just needs to be herself at her interview tomorrow for the kitchen job at The Bull and she'll be fine. On the field Henry is last man out, while Brad can't stop sneezing. As the players come in for tea Clarrie appears upset when Helen asks how her dinner lady job is going. Henry tells Helen he saw some older kids at school being rude to Clarrie when she told them to sit down, but didn't intervene because it would have made things worse. When Henry goes Clarrie tells Helen how humiliating the incident was. She always thought she was good at supervising kids, but this generation don't have any respect. After the match Henry tells Clarrie that the only way to deal with those kids is to be firm and not take any nonsense. Clarrie is doubtful she can do that, but Henry reminds her what she was like at Bridge Farm, never a passenger. Do the same at school and she'll be fine. Brad tells Usha and Joy he hasn't got hay fever, but Tracy's accused him of getting the Ambridge score wrong. The Greenbury scorer, Terence, agrees with Brad's tally, but both Usha and Joy remember a second four hit by Will while Brad left the score box to blow his nose and Terence took over. Later, Terence claims he missed the extra four by mistake and has rectified it. But the extra runs don't alter the fact that Ambridge lost and Brad has hay fever!

Will attempts to look on the bright side, and Ed's feelings are hurt.

Brian throws down the gauntlet and Emma has the rug pulled from under her.

Jolene has serious concerns and Jazzer takes a stroll down memory lane.

The past returns to haunt Kenton and Stella struggles professionally.

Lynda needs a miracle and the pressure is on at the Bull.

Jackie Lye Jim Lloyd…. John Rowe Kate Madikane…. Perdita Avery Stella Pryor…. Lucy Speed Fallon Rogers…. Joanna Van Kampen

The pressure is on for Stella, and Alice opens up.

Brian finds himself on the spot, and Lilian makes an unexpected bond.

Jakob admits to Kate he was thrown by the idea of being a grandparent. It was the list of things Kate had planned for them to do with the baby that overwhelmed him – but it's all good now thanks to a nice chat with Brian. They agree Brian's a star. Jakob tells Kate he's set up a bank account to show his commitment to their grandchild. Kate's touched – until Jakob declares he won't be coming on the family holiday. Later Kate tells Lilian how disappointed she is. She reminds her aunt about Friday's holiday meeting and encourages her to read all the messages in the group chat.Chaos reigns at the Bull and Lilian pitches in, offering to run to the shop to fill a gap in a missing wholesale order. Joy scoops up the list of items and she and Lilian set to work. Jim comes and can't believe how much new stock there is on the shelves. How can they afford it? Joy explains Susan was worried about losing customers, assuring Jim the gamble's paying off so far. After the lunch rush Jolene and Kenton are relieved to have got through it all, and normal service is resumed. They're thankful for the village shop. Sceptical Jim is won over as Lilian insists lunches at the Bull would have been cancelled today if it hadn't been for the well stocked shop. When there's a late request for a cricket tea on Sunday, Joy steps up and offers to lend a hand. Lilian declares she's saved the Bull yet again.

Jakob questions his abilities, and there's parenting problems for Pip.

Fallon feels bad to be leaving the busy Bull to spend time with Harrison. Jolene assures her they'll be fine. She hints at knowledge of the birthday surprise Harrison has in store for Fallon. Later Jolene's shocked to learn their new staff member can't work while Fallon's away. Kenton suggests asking Fallon to stay but Jolene won't hear of it. Fallon and Harrison need the time together; absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder and she doesn't want their relationship to go the wrong way. Brian's enjoys a pub lunch date with Miranda. As they get their drinks Miranda's surprised to hear from Kenton that Brian was in the pub last night too. Brian hurriedly moves the conversation on. As he declares brightly that he'd love Miranda to join them on their family holiday, she wrongfoots him by announcing their relationship might have run its course. Brian's shocked – he thought things were going marvellously. Miranda counters that unlike Jennifer she won't put up with his shenanigans – he'd told her he was at home with a book last night and clearly he wasn't. And Jolene saw him with a woman. Cornered, Brian confesses he's been having secret bridge lessons with Martyn Gibson. When Miranda doesn't believe him, he suggests she call Martyn. She does so immediately and Brian's story checks out. Miranda apologises, but wants them to enter a bridge tournament. If they win, all will be well, but if there's no improvement in Brian's game, well… Brian quakes, and Miranda says he'd better hope Lady Luck's on his side.

Helen asks Tom if he can look after the boys next Friday – Dane's asked her to go to a comedy club with him. Tom promises to ask Natasha. Helen says she'll ask their parents instead – it's a perfect opportunity for her to tell them about Dane. Later she comments to Tom that her parents didn't seem to want to know about Dane. Tom reckons this might be down to him. He'd made a comment to their mum and dad about helicopter parenting and they're obviously trying not to overstep the mark. Helen says lightly there might be a middle way. Kirsty updates Phoebe on progress with the beavers, which are due to arrive in the autumn. Justin joins them as Kirsty explains that they'll no longer need an enclosure for the release. Justin hopes the installation of one will keep local farmers onside. He goes on to extoll the benefits of the scheme before realising he's doing what Lilian calls ‘Justinsplaining'. Admiring the call of a yellowhammer, he declares he owes a lot to inspirational Peggy. Phoebe's speechless. Amused Kirsty acknowledges the sea change in Justin's attitude. She admits to feeling a lot more settled these days, both at Willow Farm and with her job. Justin's brought a real entrepreneurial spirit to the rewilding project. Phoebe could never have imagined he'd become so hands on, and also speak in praise of Peggy, who was always a bit suspicious of him. Kirsty agrees it's quite a turnaround; she can't help wondering what he's going to pull out of the bag next.

Ambridge gather to say a final farewell, and it's an emotional day for Kate.

Kate is in need of a favour, and Justin has reservations.

It's panic stations at Spiritual Home, and Justin unleashes his latest plan.

Henry makes an emotional offer, and Alan finds himself on the back foot.

The Brookfield contingent are delighted with the attendance at Open Farm Sunday. It's great to get such support from the community. Stella's impressed with Pip's dairy presentation – they agree it's important for farms to keep doing this. Even Josh's ‘silage sniffing' attraction has a healthy queue. They spot some over-enthusiastic youngsters on the yard but it's nothing they can't handle. They worry that quiet David's rattled, but he explains he was just contemplating the four generations he sees – with Rosie as the future. Pip agrees. She's heard at least two kids today talking about wanting to go into farming. David acknowledges days like today make it all worthwhile, even though he moans now and again. Pip hears that attendance is well down at Bridge Farm, and David has an idea. He grabs a megaphone and delivers a heartfelt speech about how one unfortunate event can blight a farm. Bridge Farm is eerily quiet. Helen's hopes that today would provide an opportunity to show they've bounced back from February's sewage leak seemed to be dashed. They distract themselves with talk of Peggy's funeral, and the cricket. Tony's touched that Henry's decided to support the farm today rather than play. It's just a shame it's so quiet. A few turn up for the goat gymkhana but it's not enough. When Helen hears how busy Brookfield is they're forced to admit it's going to be hard to shake off the spectre of the sewage incident. They're about to pack up when there's a sudden rush of visitors. Nonplussed Tony declares it a miracle.

At the Rewilding Justin assures Kirsty that having his expensive Italian shoes ruined is a small price to pay for seeing Lilian laugh again, admitting he can be pretty selfish sometimes. Justin's pleased the planning for summer rewilding activities is well in hand, but then Tony appears, furious that the Longhorns are being allowed to wander freely without fences, but no-one told him. Kirsty and Justin smooth Tony's hackles, assuring him they did tell him, then show him the GPS app they've had installed to keep track of the cattle. Tony still feels he's been left out of the loop. Treading on eggshells around Tony's grief Justin explains it wasn't deliberate and Kirsty apologises, before Tony heads off to organise the Goat Gymkhana. Justin then admits to Kirsty he's planning something but won't say what it is. Alice turns up at Woodbine Cottage where Fallon tells her Harrison didn't come back at all, after she told him it wasn't worth driving all that way for four hours together at most. Fallon then confesses she doesn't actually miss him. Having the freedom to do whatever she likes is simply too lovely – and in the end Harrison never knew about the party anyway. Fallon feels bad, but everyone who came really enjoyed themselves. Alice tells Fallon her fears about Martha, but Fallon agrees with Chris: Martha is a bright shiny button who's simply developing at her own pace. Alice thinks her life is too focused on Martha, while Fallon feels she's drifting away from Harrison and worries about their future together.

Ben finds Susan at the Shop struggling under a mountain of deliveries and helps her clear some space for customers. The deliveries are part of Susan's initiative to expand the Shop's range of products, but it looks like it'll be a struggle to put new shelves up and fit everything in before Joy's next shift on Saturday. Then Joy turns up, dismayed to find the stock room full and boxes all over the place. Susan tries to sell Akram some screws and is delighted she can offer him a mallet, before he starts revelling in the cornucopia of hardware items Susan has ordered. Susan's convinced everything's going to be fine now.When Justin tells Lilian he's changed his mind about going on a months-long cruise she replies that it's too late, she's committed to staying in Ambridge, looking out for Alice, Tony, the Stables and The Bull. Lilian wonders why Justin's made a U-turn. He can't exactly say why, but the meeting with Arthur has prompted thoughts about looking after one another as they get older. Justin fancies doing some good in the world, taking Arthur as his example. They go to see Kirsty at the Rewilding, wanting to talk about the art installation Peggy's donation will be funding. They're looking for something to attract more visitors, but not too many. While visiting the pond Lilian recalls a childhood game and pushes Justin in. Luckily he sees the funny side and ends up laughing with Lilian and Kirsty, imagining Peggy looking down and laughing too.

While doing some gardening at the Dower House Lilian and Justin agree it was a clever plan of Peggy's to get Natasha and Fallon working together for her funeral. They were at Harrison's party last night too, which was a great success, despite his absence. Lilian then gets a message from Christine at the Laurels: they want to talk to her about Peggy. Intrigued, Justin goes with Lilian, joking that they're about to find out what Peggy did with her money. A regular visitor to The Laurels, Arthur, introduces himself as a good friend of Peggy's. He tells Lilian that the charity where he volunteers, a local dementia support network, is very grateful for Peggy's generous donation. Arthur suffers from dementia himself, although it isn't obvious, and impresses Justin with his Savile Row background. Justin and Lilian agree, he's an inspiring example and that Peggy made absolutely the right decision. And of course Arthur should come to Peggy's funeral.Ruth asks Ben to tidy up the Events Barn – Fallon will be setting up there from tomorrow to serve teas on Sunday. Ruth then asks Ben what he knows about catastrophising. She thinks it's what David's doing about Sunday - only she knows David would hate her even mentioning it. Later, David finds Ben and asks him to put everything back that he's just cleared out of the Barn. Ben broaches the subject of how David's feeling, but David shuts down the conversation. Later though he tells Ben he appreciates his support, but actually he's okay now and excited about Sunday. They're both really glad it wasn't cancelled.

Jill finds the right words, and Fallon is left disappointed.

At Brookfield, David's talking through the events they've planned for Open Farm Sunday. Ruth senses how concerned he is about security, even though they've got Rex, Ed and Will keeping an eye on things. While Ruth mulls over the details of the day and possibly having more “fun” events, David suggests a bag search on the gate, then admits he's having flashbacks to what happened in the boardroom at Casey Meats and can't help projecting his fears onto Open Farm Sunday. He wishes he'd been more proactive, despite everyone saying how fantastic he was, keeping people calm. Ruth sits David down with a coffee and does her best to reassure him, before suggesting it might be better to cancel Open Farm Sunday if it's causing him so much anxiety. Alice's self-laceration continues at the doctor's surgery. Both she and Chris cover when Fallon appears. Fallon checks they're coming to Harrison's party tomorrow night and still providing the salads and playlist they promised. After Fallon's gone, Chris and Alice confess they'd completely forgotten. When they see Azra she doesn't think there's anything obviously delayed about Martha's development, but noting Alice's concern she suggests referring Martha to a paediatrician. Later, after dropping Martha at nursery, Chris is relieved they've got the referral. But Alice can't help worrying about the possibility of a delayed onset and there's nothing Chris can do to help. Fallon calls with more stress about Harrison's party, before Alice admits to Chris what she really wanted Azra to say was that Alice didn't hurt Martha and everything's alright.

Joy gives Susan the latest batch of Shop surveys, while Ben is asked what he'd like them to change. Joy suggests letting dogs in, but Susan's not keen, preferring Azra's idea of introducing a hardware section. Later, Ben catches up with Joy, grateful to her for remembering when he broke down at the Shop over Bess, knowing that's why she suggested allowing dogs. Joy admits the guilt she feels over Rochelle turning out the way she has, but Ben reminds Joy of the role she played in his recovery – their conversation on the Green that day was a turning point for him. He's certain something similar could happen to Rochelle.Alice has brought Martha to Chris's flat, where he's planned a day in and around Ambridge, inviting Alice to join them at the playground. Alice wants to talk about the effect her drinking during pregnancy had on Martha's development. Chris thinks it's a massive leap, but Alice has been dreading the thought of foetal alcohol syndrome for years and the nursery visit on Friday hasn't helped. At the playground later Chris tries convincing Alice there's nothing wrong with Martha, but she wants to see a doctor as soon as possible. Chris worries she's torturing herself unnecessarily, while Alice suggests he's more worried she'll start drinking again. When Susan approaches they're happy to talk about letting dogs in the shop instead. Afterwards Chris says he'll go to the doctors with Alice, who's really grateful. She wouldn't blame Chris for hating her after what she's done to Martha.

At the Shop Jim tries a super-courteous approach to get Lilian to fill in the survey, while Jazzer adds a mocking commentary. It's only when Jim spells out the existential threat Underwoods Local poses that Lilian agrees to answer the questions. Between them Jazzer and Lilian come up with several suggestions for improvements. Then Jazzer points out the biggest issue is friendliness – or the lack of it - and despite Jim's denial Lilian agrees that it's an issue. Later on Jazzer snatches Lilian's completed survey, reading out her score for friendliness: three out of five. He tells Jim it's not going to save the shop. Jim confesses how exhausting he finds maintaining the façade of friendliness and his relief at going to stay at his daughter's next week. But Jazzer loves it when Jim is grumpy!While Chris is relatively relaxed before the meeting about Martha at the nursery, Alice can't help thinking there must be a serious problem. The manager tactfully points out that Martha has haphazard concentration levels and limited attention span. She suggests working together with the staff to get Martha to focus on tasks for longer. Chris is happy to go along with this but Alice seems more troubled. Back at the Stables Lilian pushes Alice to confess her fear that her drinking during pregnancy is now affecting Martha's development. And if Lilian leaves Ambridge then that's another huge plank of Alice's support network gone, after Jennifer and Peggy. Lilian tells her she's changed her mind and she's not going anywhere.

Susan summons Jim and Joy to the Shop, telling them its future is at stake due to the threat from Underwoods Local. Jim proposes calling a village meeting. And making sure to emphasise the benefits of a village shop, Joy adds, such as lower prices. But Susan's heard the introductory discounts at Underwoods Local could go on all summer. Susan then tells them to look for common threads in the few surveys that have been completed, so they can root out any issues. Reporting back later it appears unfriendliness is the big one. Susan then dismisses the comments as biased, but Joy insists they act on it by working on their customer service skills. Both Jim and Susan are highly sceptical though, leading Joy in despair to suggest they try at least to be more positive with all their customers. Jim and Susan agree, but remain unconvinced that they're really doing anything wrong.On the phone Helen worries to Ian about Dane not getting back to her after she suggested another date. He's always responded so quickly before online. Ian still has his doubts, but Helen insists Ian find out what Dane thinks about her. However, when Ian tackles Dane about the meal last night and his companion, Dane cleverly avoids giving his opinion of Helen. Ian tries again later, but is embarrassed when Dane reveals he knows Ian is trying to find out what Dane thinks about Ian's best friend, Helen. Dane thinks she's amazing, then realises his message to Helen about the date never got sent. When he sends it again Helen excitedly tells Ian – he said yes!
