You're listening to Tuesday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4.
Oh yeah, that's holding really well now, Mick.
Eh?
The catch on this brooch.
Oh, it's dead fancy is that.
So elegant. Oh, they don't make them like this nowadays.
I've always liked silver.
Oh me and all. Less flashy somehow. keep thinking about Tony yesterday when I collected this lot for repair. You'd have thought I was robbing the crown jewels off him.
I've told you, Joy. He didn't want to share the limelight, that's his trouble. Oh, I
think he was more worried he was gonna lose track of things. He listed down every item I was taking really detailed so no one would get muddled.
By which he means us?
In case he went and lost something, I suppose.
You'd think he'd be grateful.
Anyhow How you getting on with that hair dryer?
Uh last bit of solder now. Yeah, you It's done. Yeah. Just needs testing.
Hello. Um, is anybody there? Linta, what a lovely surprise. I saw your garage doors open and I thought I'd be nosy. I hope you don't mind.
Oh, come on in. Welcome to our repair grotto.
Goodness. As opposed to the repair workshop.
And you're not going into competition with Tony and Lennon. Ah, we're more of a subcontractor, eh, Joy?
Which explains why my hairdryer is on your work pen.
Oh, oh this is yours, is it? Oh mix just finished soldranet. You can witness the testing stage, Linda. Oh.
Oh. Marvellous! I'm so grateful, Mick. I didn't want to buy a new one.
Look at that brooch! It's Sabrina Thwaite's grandmother's now with a fully working catch, see? Very impressive.
And uh how are you doing, love? Since Monty, I mean.
Oh
Well,
not very well, if truth be told. Oh, Linda. It's been truly dreadful few weeks, as you can probably imagine. But he's got a wonderful new owner, a retired police dog handler, so we're very thankful for that. Of course. I'm sorry
I haven't dropped round. No.
We've not seen you properly in ages.
Well, only if I'm not interrupting.
I reckon we've earned a nice strong cupper.
So do I. I'll
pop kettle on.
You see, people have started turning up at all hours, Anna, with any manner of items for mending, and completely unrealistic expectations. We can't fix everything. We haven't got the skills. She's in the last bed on the right. Right, and involving other people in the actual repairs ends up with too many cooks. She's having a doze. Oh, there's a spare chair. I'm not that.
Mum mm I've brought Tony. How are you feeling this morning? Well I was having a
Then you carry on dozing, Carol, don't worry about us.
Yeah, you rest, mum.
How does the team handle the unexpected repair request for the hair‑dryer?
Yeah, alright. And I'm going to tell Leonard it's not on because we risk a drop in quality and that'll ruin the entire thing. Oh
I thought you said I could rest.
Oh, yes, of course.
Not easy when someone's grumbling by your ear.
Sorry, Cow.
And I haven't even got Richard's watch to cheer me up.
No. Well, sorry about that too.
Tony and Leonard were only trying to help. Oh hip. Is it no better today? Worse if anything. They keep slipping down the bed. Shall I get someone to pull you up? Oh, we could do it. I don't think we'd be allowed. I'll find a nurse. No, no, no, no, leave it. The staff are lovely, but they're very busy. You just get used to waiting. Did you get some sleep last night? Five minutes here and there. Oh They're those two opposite, they have dementia. What the ones fast asleep? Yes, they are now. Last night was Mayhem trying to get out of bed. Oh bless them. Haven't they got
broken bones if they're on this walk?
Yes, oh there was lots of crying out. One kept shouting, Why won't you help me? Oh
dear.
And I felt like joining in at one point. Why won't you help me? Rather sums up how I feel. Hopefully they'll be moved somewhere else soon.
