BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 16/06/2010

Victory is sweet for Brian, and Caroline has an unexpected encounter with an old friend.

Caroline complains to Eddie about being kept awake by noise last night. Eddie plays down the fight that took place between rival biker gangs staying on his patch. He's on to a nice little earner and begs Caroline not to report him. 

Caroline finds that she recognises one of the "born again" bikers. It's an old friend who used to run an antiques shop in Felpersham. She goes over, delighted to seem him. She then proceeds to poach Eddie's customers for Grey Gables as payback. 

Brian tells Jennifer that a second of Adam's pickers has gone back to Bulgaria. It'll mean another reorganisation of the team, and longer hours for Adam. 

Gerry Morton rings Brian with good news. They have managed to beat Matt and Lilian to securing the Marquis of Granby pub. Frustrated Matt decides that they need a PA, so that he and Lilian can focus on what they do best, and not miss the opportunity in future. As both couples lunch at Grey Gables, Brian can't resist a friendly dig. 

Caroline nabs Lilian to discuss Sid's memorial. Jolene has given a ringing endorsement to the locals having a good old party for Sid.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
