The Archers

16/10/2015

Duration: 14 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Charlie's interviewing Mike for a job at Berrow Farm, as Mike reminds Charlie that he started out as a dairy manager - which reminds Mike of the terrible TB outbreak which scuppered the enterprise. Charlie points out that Berrow is a much bigger operation, but mike talks confidently about adjusting to different systems over the years - pointing out that he's flexible to do whatever shifts Charlie has to offer. Charlie's about to give mike a tour of the site when he's interrupted - there's something urgent Charlie needs to deal with.

Eddie takes Ed for a pint to cheer him up and jokes that his ears are deceiving him when Joe offers to get them in. Kenton's in a good mood, as the contractors will be in next week to start underpinning and refurbishment work on the pub. The mood changes, though, when Kenton innocently reveals that he saw Ed's beasts being taken away in a truck. He thought nothing of it. But Ed can't believe it, and grills Kenton on what type of truck it was.

Joe and Mike look forward to Apple Day and Mike gossips that he thinks there's some kind of disease problem at Berrow. Joe speculates that it could be the start of a plague that could devastate the whole of Borsetshire. Show less
