BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 03/08/2020

There’s an emergency at Home Farm and Fallon has the rug pulled from under her.

Brian finds Adam injured and calls an ambulance. It seems he didn’t put the handbrake on the Land Rover and it rolled over his foot – he needs surgery on his ankle and had badly twisted his knee. It’s crucial harvest time – Brian can do the combining but wonders who he can call on to pick up the rest of the slack.   

Emma and Fallon are busy with baking orders. As they work they discuss the Flower and Produce Show committee meeting – Emma’s first as chairperson. The committee voted in favour of her proposal to have a virtual show but they seemed to like Fallon’s idea of how to do it more than Emma’s. Emma doesn’t want people to know her for begging for money to save her Beechwood house dream but instead see her as a useful person doing things to bring the village together. 

Fallon looks at the Tearoom’s figures which aren’t great. She wishes she could use the winnings from the scratchcard Harrison found. Later, Fallon’s shocked to hear from Helen that the Tearoom may not have a rent reduction for much longer. Natasha was also at their meeting and Fallon doesn’t appreciate her input on the Tearoom business. Fallon reminds herself to be more like Harrison and see the best in Natasha – she’s going to draw up a plan to help the Tearoom.
