The Archers

Adam tells Alice that Debbie agreed Brian needs to step back completely from the farm. Adam will draw up a plan to present at the next partnership meeting, when they’ll all tell Brian it’s time to retire, though Alice expresses her unease at ambushing Brian. At the Eco Office, Brian explains he’s agreed a deal to store caravans at Home Farm. Adam criticises Brian for making decisions behind his back, while Brian makes it clear he’s not going to start running the farm by committee. Adam counters that one person making crazy decisions doesn’t work either. No wonder everyone thinks Brian’s going gaga. Coming into the middle of their argument Alice demands to know what’s going on. Adam continues attacking Brian verbally, while Brian questions Adam’s commitment to the farm. Alice tells Adam to go and cool off. Alone with Alice, Brian insists he’s not going barmy and that Adam’s playing games. Alice assures Brian she’ll continue supporting him.

While chatting with Ben in the milking parlour Ruth’s kicked in the shoulder by a cow. She admits to being distracted ever since Pip found her lump. Plus, Ruth’s worried about the potential outcome for all of them if she has the BRCA gene test. She’s been checking the odds of contracting various cancers. Ben tells her to stop looking online and talk to someone who’ll give her proper advice. Asked whether he thinks she should take the test Ben reckons it’s Ruth’s decision. Pushed further Ben admits that in her shoes he’d want to know. Ruth wonders what Josh would say.
