You're listening to Wednesday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4.
MUSIC Am I packing all these clothes? Yes, please. I've kept out a sports bag with things Jack might need before Saturday. Everything else in the box, please.
How does packing reflect Jack's personality?
I thought I put this jumper in yesterday. You probably did. Jack's idea of packing is two things in, one thing out, because he needs it. At least he's trying. I know. He's excited about moving, bless him. He's just a bit flaky and doesn't understand the concept of packing. But also not wanting anyone to touch his stuff. Which she gets from Henry. Oh. I haven't been allowed to touch a single thing in Henry's room. Apparently I won't do it properly. Oh, like you haven't moved house before? He's numbered all his boxes and made a list of what's in each one online. Wow, that's organised.
What are the challenges of moving discussed in the episode?
Is it? Or is it just weird? He's a teenager. Weird as normal. Anyway, at least I don't have to worry about putting any of his stuff in the wrong box. I'm fantastically grateful to him. He's really excited about the T20 cricket in Edgbaston, isn't he? I think he and Khalil know every player's scoring record. Mind you, Tom's excited too. Oh, can you check the tape over? Shall I just write Jack's room on the box? Thanks. You know, maybe arranging to move the weekend of Open Farm Sunday wasn't my best ever decision. Oh, don't be daft. Pat and Tony will help you.
How does Rex's relationship with Ed impact the narrative?
You'll be unpacked by tea time. I'll pop over as soon as I can. So, I'm marking boxes that aren't immediately urgent with a big star. Was that Henry's idea? Mr Organised? Actually, it was. Bye-bye! Ready when you are. Won't be a minute, Tom. Right. Oh, here goes. I'm really excited. Oh, I'm not surprised. I'm hoping to buy six if we can make a bit of a deal. Six new Montys, Natasha.
What new ideas does Helen propose for her business?
Six lovely red and white Montys. It's brilliant to see you so fired up. I'm almost jealous. I love my job. Don't you get fired up about Summer Orchard? Not like I used to. I mean, it's ticking over nicely, but there's so, so much admin. Yeah, I hear you. So what does fire you up, then? I'm sure something does. Well, actually, I do have this idea. Come on, come on. Stop chatting. We've got to get to Shropshire. It's a lovely day for a drive.
What concerns arise about the private schooling decision?
Go on, then. I'll finish this other box before I start work. Oh, you have my undying gratitude. All right, come on. You're not wrong. It is a lovely day for a drive. I know you were planning to do this trip with Dan, but I'm glad it's me. Why? Nice drive with my sister to see some pretty cows. What's not to like? Nothing, obviously. I saw Alice in the village. She said Brian's giving Ed Grundy more work at Home Farm. At least he's got some help. I hope we never have a big bust-up like the Aldridges.
How does the conversation shift towards family dynamics?
We won't. Of course we won't. These cows we're seeing? Yeah, the farmers retiring. Doesn't it feel a bit ironic? We're buying one retired farmer's herd with the money from selling another retired farmer's herd. I think that's just farming these days. We'd have to pay a lot more to bring Monty's over from France. Six of these will only cost us £15,000 or so, half of what Dad got for the Anguses. And each one will give us an extra 30 litres of milk a day. The mobile milking parlour will cope with that, right? I think so, just about. I hope so, because we can't afford a new milking parlour, not at the moment. One step at a time, eh? I mean it.
What resolutions are made by the end of the episode?
I am convinced there are better ways to spend the money. OK, Fifi. Good girl. Lillian said you'd be out here. Rex! I'm so sorry Ed was there when you came round yesterday. Really bad timing.
Is this bad timing too?
No, no, not at all. I've just finished a lesson. I'm glad you're here.
Yeah? You didn't answer my calls. I was worried. I've been digging a new pig wallow, sorry.
