BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/08/2010

Jamie finds a sympathetic friend and Brenda helps out with staffing issues.

Brenda's bored at work and chats to Fallon at the Bull during her break. She notes Fallon looks tired. Fallon admits she's had to put her own interests, including her band The Lies, on the back burner. 

Debbie and Alice had a good night at Jaxx, but Debbie speculates that Kenton's cheeriness seemed forced. They discuss Marshall. Debbie admits that his views on relationships were more conservative than she initially thought. Debbie reveals that, together with Adam and Kate, she has bought Alice and Chris a couple of nights at Grey Gables as part of their wedding present. Alice is delighted. 

Over tea with Fallon, Jamie admits he misses Sid. He's still adjusting to not having his father around. He's pleased though that he can honour Sid's memory by playing cricket. Fallon tells Jamie he's welcome to practise on her guitar if he wants to write a song or poem for Sid. 

Brenda helps Fallon put together a job ad for new staff. Kathy joins them, and thanks Fallon for looking after Jamie. It reminds her how much everyone misses Sid. Fallon tells Kathy she is lucky to have Kenton. Kathy agrees, but admits that Sid was the real hub of her family wheel.

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