Summary

Brian is disturbed to find Kate working at Grey Gables, but Kate assures Brian she isn’t trying to humiliate him. She simply needs a secure income to enable her to keep Spiritual Home going. For Brian the bigger issue is Kate taking a job from smug Oliver. Kate says she’s more worried than ever about Brian, after recent events. Brian wants her to ask Adam about the letter he presented to him. Brian then corners Oliver, who doubts Miranda will ask after Brian any time soon.

At the cricket Alice tells Kirsty she’s not sure what to do on Father’s Day next week – stick with Martha and Chris or spend it with Brian, who’s practically disowned Adam and Debbie. She envies Kirsty’s uncomplicated life with Erik. Later, Alice tells Kirsty she’s making a Father’s Day kit for Martha to give Chris, while Brian will just have to endure the hell of enforced fun with his own children. Back home, Kate’s keen to hear about Kirsty’s scan. Kirsty compares it to Wren’s scan and how that was all she ever got to know of him. Kate hugs Kirsty before Alice arrives and they talk about babysitting arrangements for tomorrow, now Brian’s persona non grata with Adam. Kate wonders if Alice knows what Brian was hinting at about Adam. Alice doesn’t, but Kirsty’s sure they’ll get it out of Adam tomorrow night.

You're listening to Sunday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4. Ah, Oliver, I was going to call up to Grange Fund to speak to you later, but you've saved me a trip.

1:03.8

Sorry, Brown, I'm rather busy. We're short-staffed, and we've had a number of VIP guests booking last minute.

1:09.8

Don't worry, what I have to say won't take long. Oh, hello, Dad. Oliver, I'm taking these down to the spa. They're running low. Thank you. But do housekeeping have enough towels for the rooms? No, but Lily's on it. See you later, Dad. Hold on, Kate. What on earth are you doing? Working. Are you joking? No, Dad. I'm not. I work here. But why would you take a job at Grey Gables? Why not? We like to think we look after our staff well. And there are some great perks to be part of our team. I'm not interested in your staff well-being policies, Oliver. I'm curious to why my daughter is working here when she has a

perfectly good business of her own. Oh, Oliver, I meant to say they're also short of shampoo for

1:50.2

the showers. Okay. Well, when you've delivered the towels, find Brad and get him to show you where

1:56.3

the refills of shower gel and shampoo are kept. No problem. You can't let him order you around like that? Yes, I was, because as my boss, he's perfectly within his rights to ask me to complete a simple task. What's going on, Kate? Dad, I can't talk to you here, but I could come and join you in the lounge when I get my break, if that's okay, Oliver. Of course. Dad? Yes, yes, all right. In about half an hour. What is she up to? There was some kind of rebellion designed to unsettle me. You know, she's a great worker. Half a shift, and I've already seen what an asset she'll be. Marvelous. Just wish she'd warned me she had a burning desire to be a chamber made. We turn to say housekeeping these days, Brown. Enjoy your coffee. Oliver, hold on. How's Miranda? Have you seen much of a lady? No, sorry, can't stop. I'm late for a meeting. Is it bad that I laugh when Tom was pulled out? I mean, the look on his face. Yeah, it would have been hard not to laugh. Oh, it's not great for our chances. Even I know that the play so far has been pretty dismal. Yeah, well, let's hope Rex and Chris can get a century or something. Otherwise, it'll be down to me to save the day. What are you laughing at? I'm serious. Just, you know, call me Alice Capsie.

3:11.0

Alice, who? She's a cricketer on the England team.

3:14.1

Oh, yeah, of course she is. She was in the assembly at Martha's School for International

3:17.7

Women's Day. Wow. Impressive. What, she came to Borsuchat? Oh, no. One of the

3:23.3

six girls dressed up as her. Oh, no, oh no, it's too high. That field is going to get it. Oh, few. Oh, I thought Chris was going to be caught out. Are you up next? Yeah, I think so. I don't know why I'm so nervous.

3:42.6

It's only supposed to be a bit of fun.

Well, you're an old drink.
