The Archers: 6/1/2012

Synopsis:

There's a chill in the air at Home Farm and Neil tries his powers of persuasion.
Tracy keeps changing her mind about moving in with Bert. She tells Neil and Susan that the house needs lots of work doing to it. On top of everything already discussed, if Neil decorates from top to bottom she’ll move in – probably. Neil’s not prepared to do it all if she’s likely to change her mind again. She reckons she needs another chat with Bert before she can let them know for definite.

Debbie wants to get everything sorted with Adam before she goes home but Brian’s left the ball in his court. Adam tells Jennifer he’s got nothing to say to Debbie. Although he’s glad his bit of Home Farm is safe, he still can’t accept the plan. He’d hoped BL would turn it down. Jennifer understands how he feels but can’t take sides.

Brian takes Debbie to the airport. Debbie’s not convinced Adam will come round, and acknowledges there wasn’t an overwhelming vote of confidence from the board. Brian insists it’s still a great scheme, even without the inclusion of Home Farm land. Debbie knows there’ll be another battle when they publish the plans. They need to get their PR strategy spot on. They can’t afford many more glitches.
