You're listening to Thursday's episode of the Archers from BBC Radio 4.

Will Grundy 1:22

Esme, hey. Okay to come over. George? I was walking holly rounds and I seen you from the lane.

Unknown 1:30

Hmm.

Will Grundy 1:31

Can we talk, please? Is that okay?

Unknown 1:34

I've got work to do.

Will Grundy 1:35

It won't take long. The tree guards arrived then?

Unknown 1:38

Yeah, um setting em up now.

Will Grundy 1:40

Good job, 'cause the cows love scratching themselves from that old hazel. Your woodland's getting wrecked.

Unknown 1:45

Hmm. Hence the tree guards.

Will Grundy 1:48

Of course, yeah.

Unknown 1:49

Oh hey Holly, how are you doing? She's getting on now, isn't she?

Will Grundy 1:55

Nearly thirteen, yeah. So we go a bit more slowly, but not much, eh girl? You get your uh sustainable farming application in then?

Unknown 2:04

Nope.

Will Grundy 2:05

What?

Unknown 2:07

Other things have been distracting me.

Will Grundy 2:08

I thought that was gonna be really important.

How does the early Finnish dialogue set the scene for the episode?

Unknown 2:10

It was.

Will Grundy 2:11

Huh. Um, listen, I wanted to say about grandpa.

Unknown 2:15

What about him?

Will Grundy 2:16

He's a good worker as me. Knows his stuff and gets the jobs done. Uh maybe not how I do him, but still fine. Better than lazy Larry. I heard you took him on, but everyone knows he's useless, see? That's why he's always available. It were me and you that fell out.

Unknown 2:33

No, you let me down massively. I ain't got time to argue again.

Will Grundy 2:38

Nor me, but Grandpa shouldn't have lost that work over it. He did nothing wrong.

Unknown 2:42

He did. No, no,

Will Grundy 2:43

no. It were don't to me.

Unknown 2:45

Eddie lied about where you were.

Will Grundy 2:47

You were protecting me though, Esme. You can understand that.

Unknown 2:50

No, he still lied, George. And as you know, I I won't deal with liars. End of story. There's chocolate chip or blueberry leonard. Ooh, I love a blueberry muffin. There you are then. What a treat. I thought we could do with a reward. For a very successful week. Indeed. One ironing board, the little bookcase. And Richard's watch. Oh Tony, what a mistake that was. Carol was most put out. Oh you haven't heard then. She's turned a bit of a corner. Has she? Anna came into the farm shop first thing. She visited last night and it it was like a different woman in the bed. Really? After dismissing the laurels on Tuesday, she's now decided a brief stay might not be that bad. What? She wouldn't get out of the car last time Anna tried to get her interested.

Unknown 3:44

Apparently Alan had a word.

What triggers the conflict between George and Esme at the farm?

Unknown 3:46

Well blow me down. She's got a long road ahead of her, mind you. How's that? Oh, I'm enjoying this muffin. Perhaps we should have got a muffin for Joy and Mick. Sorry. Well let me show you the silver jewellery Sabrina brought in with a faulty catch and some dodgy links. There. And they're fixed. A neat little repair by Joy. And thanks to Mick, Linda's hairdryer's back in full service at Ambridge Hall. Hm. I'd say they've proved they're a useful addition to our merry little band. Leonard, I'm gonna have to put my cards on the table. Oh, well, what's the crumbs? Sorry? Muffin crumb. When we set up our little repair workshop, I wasn't signing up for a big enterprise. Oh, it's hardly that, Tony. Then if others have skills which complement ours, where's the harm?

Unknown 4:40

It needs to be manageable. We don't want it turning into a repair circus, do we? Oh, come on, Joy and Mika hardly unmanageable. Oh, I'll have to get that. Sorry. Of course. No doubt it'll be yet more botanical samples for Natasha. being delivered to the wrong address but wasn't yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Carole Boyd 5:02

Good morning, Holly. And George, of course.

Will Grundy 5:07

Forget me. Holly's in charge. I'm just along for the ride.

Carole Boyd 5:10

What a lovely waggy tail.

Will Grundy 5:13

Well, she's pleased to see you.

Carole Boyd 5:14

I'm pleased to see her too. A and George, of course.
