BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/01/2015

Phoebe has a bad day, and Ed is in a state.

Ed has spoken to the TFA. He has to apply for a relief of forfeiture. Totting everything up, Ed reckons he owes £5k to get back on track. He'll never get hold of that sort of money. Eddie tells Ed he needs to sell four of his cows. Ed panics at the idea, but realizes it's his only option.

Kate is buzzing after her day at Uni. Phoebe reluctantly joins Kate for dinner in Borchester, enduring Kate going on about her favourite course module and the cool young friends she's made. She takes a call from one of them, Steph, inviting her for more drinks this evening.

Over a glass of wine, Lilian lies to Jennifer about Matt, saying he's on a business trip. She changes the subject to the Valentine's dance.

Phoebe arrives home alone - Kate has stayed out for drinks. Weary Phoebe goes up to her room, where Jennifer joins her to check what's wrong. Phoebe's had an awful day. She got a bad mark on an essay and her friend made her feel terrible. Kate didn't bother to ask about her day. Jennifer comforts Phoebe, who then gets a text from Kate with a 'selfie' of Kate with her new friends and wearing pussycat ears. It's all so sad and embarrassing.
