Autoliitto auttaa.

39.08 - 45.536 Max Crocombe

Hmm, where can I get a perfect katkarapuleivä? By ordering from the supplier.

0

45.977 - 53.576 James Crawford

Let's party! Now to the ship's top-end early departure price. Order now. Tallinksilja.fi.

Chapter 2: How does George feel about his current situation?

53.917 - 56.042 Max Crocombe

All right, let's go to the ship.

0

58.368 - 63.095 Brian Aldridge

You're listening to Tuesday's episode of The Archers, from BBC Radio 4.

0

63.515 - 78.477

Anne-Marie?

0

83.704 - 91.863 Alice Carter

Hello, George. I promise I'm not staying. I just wanted to hand over these brownies. Homemade. Amber's favourite.

0

91.883 - 94.627 Will Grundy

That's really kind of you. Thanks. I'm sure she'll be thrilled.

95.248 - 96.23 Alice Carter

Is she in by any chance?

96.871 - 98.633 Will Grundy

No, sorry. She's still at work.

99.174 - 100.336 Alice Carter

I thought you said she'd be off today.

100.717 - 103.161 Will Grundy

She was supposed to be, but she swapped a shift with a mate.

Chapter 3: What challenges does Lillian face in inspiring others?

140.07 - 145.578 Alice Carter

And of course she sent her dad a Father's Day card. In fact, it arrived early. But there was no chance she was going to come and actually see us on Sunday.

0

145.818 - 147.1 Will Grundy

Yeah, well, she's been... Busy.

0

147.901 - 149.243 Alice Carter

I know. He said.

0

149.864 - 152.728 Will Grundy

Yeah.

0

152.748 - 155.812 Alice Carter

So, I think I'll just leave these brownies and get going.

156.393 - 156.453 Will Grundy

OK.

156.473 - 156.533

OK.

158.386 - 166.719 Alice Carter

Then maybe I could get a quick glass of water before I drive back. No need to tidy up. Don't worry on my account.

166.959 - 167.219 Will Grundy

Right.

Chapter 4: How does the conversation shift to family dynamics?

236.239 - 239.103 Lilian Bellamy

I can reach it. As long as you hold it steady.

241.073 - 265.341 Lilian Bellamy

It's nice to have neighbours you can have a chat with at the front door, but, well, you know. It's good to protect your privacy too. Yeah. Though Helen's unlikely to want to be in and out of our house anyway. I bet she has a rotor of chores. Timetables for everything. We're like chalk and cheese. Order versus chaos. I don't know. Jack's no stranger to chaos, I can tell you that.

0

265.921 - 290.892 Lilian Bellamy

He's a lively little lad, that's for sure. How are you finding working at the dairy? Oh, I love it. Helen's a good boss, and I'm sure we'll rub along fine as neighbours. If I got my way, you'd stop making that pesky cheese and do more shifts here. I preferred it when you were at the bull's beck and call. I can still do plenty of shifts here. Just not in the week Fallon's booked off.

0

290.872 - 316.601 Lilian Bellamy

Is that when Harrison comes back? It is. She wants to give him her undivided attention. Oh, that's so sweet. A proper pair of lovebirds. And while they're busy lovebirding, we're woefully understaffed. I can probably fit in some evenings, but Helen got to me first. She needs us to start on a huge cheese order that week and I promised her I could work full time. Don't worry, Tracy.

316.821 - 343.738 Lilian Bellamy

I'm sure we'll get sorted. There's always agency staff as a last resort. But June is also busy season at Amside. All right, that's enough. I'm coming down. You got a good grip on the ladder, Lillian? Yeah, I have. I was talking to Adam in the shop this morning. You know he's not working at Home Farm anymore. Yes, I've heard about it from both sides, Brian and Adam.

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about work experience opportunities?

343.758 - 363.866 Lilian Bellamy

So what about training him up to do a few shifts at the ball? He might actually be quite good behind the bar, but I can't see him in the kitchen. Why not? Surely he's picked up some of Ian's culinary skills over the years. Hello, Kira. Oh, er... Hi. How are you getting on? Good day at school? It was all right. Now, Keira, this is good timing.

0

363.886 - 383.115 Lilian Bellamy

I've been meaning to have a chat with you about your work experience with us next week. We're incredibly busy at Amside, so it'll be wonderful to have another pair of willing hands. Oh, filling envelopes, making coffee. Don't listen to her, Keira. I have got some very exciting things lined up for you. Sorry. Can I come and see you another time?

0

383.276 - 390.586 Lilian Bellamy

It's just I've got to get this homework sheet off, Henry. Yes, no problem, darling. I'll catch you later.

0

394.432 - 397.476 Alice Carter

I don't want to take up any more of your time, George. I should head off.

0

397.797 - 400.841 Will Grundy

OK. I'm sorry. She's usually home by now.

402.223 - 403.465 Alice Carter

Oh, unless that's from her now.

404.744 - 412.012 Will Grundy

It is. Hold on. Sorry, Anne-Marie. She says she's going to get something to eat with one of her mates at work.

413.054 - 414.295 Alice Carter

Oh, well, never mind.

414.735 - 417.919 Will Grundy

But thanks to the bronies. No wonder Amber loves them. They're delicious.

Chapter 6: How do the characters discuss their relationships with Amber?

430.193 - 430.954 Alice Carter

I hope so, too.

0

432.605 - 436.389 Will Grundy

I think it's actually been hard for her, caught in the middle, trying to keep everyone happy.

0

437.29 - 443.758 Alice Carter

Well, things have certainly improved since she reached out to us about the Borchester show. Bill and I were encouraged. She felt she could ask.

0

444.198 - 447.302 Will Grundy

Yeah. We're grateful Gordon's at Borchester took a stand.

0

447.862 - 456.112 Alice Carter

Bill thinks it'll be fantastic for business. We've been extremely impressed so far with the whole thing. David Archer rang to speak to Bill yesterday to talk it through.

456.152 - 459.936 Will Grundy

Did he say anything to you about upgrading to the Platinum sponsorship?

460.497 - 462.434 Alice Carter

No. What does that entail?

462.934 - 476.829 Will Grundy

It's an extra charge, obviously, but you get loads for your money. Lunch at the president's table, mentions on socials, ten guest passes, an advert on the show ring banner, shout-outs on the tannoy, as well as a write-up in the Borchester Echo Show pull-out.

478.09 - 479.292 Alice Carter

Can you email me the details?

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the upcoming Borchester show?

529.251 - 531.774 Lilian Bellamy

Good afternoon. Afternoon. What can I get you?

0

531.794 - 534.998 Alice Carter

A soda with a slice of lime, please. Coming up.

0

536.7 - 540.384 Lilian Bellamy

What brings you to Ambridge? Business or pleasure? A bit of both.

0
0

541.617 - 550.921 Alice Carter

Are you here often? It's just, I feel like I've met you before. My daughter lives in the village and people often say we look alike. Maybe that's it. Oh, now, there's a challenge.

551.302 - 557.285 Lilian Bellamy

Can I guess who your daughter is? Don't tell me. Amber Gordon.

557.765 - 563.291 Alice Carter

I bet you're Amber's mum. I am, yes. I've just dropped some brownies off with her fiancé, George.

563.311 - 569.257 Lilian Bellamy

Oh, pleased to meet you. I'm Tracy Horribin, and your daughter's fella is my great-nephew.

569.938 - 575.844 Alice Carter

I'm Anne-Marie, and it's very nice to meet some of George's family. Amber's been so warmly welcomed into the fold.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with reflections on personal growth?

656.42 - 660.046 Lilian Bellamy

And, of course, you'll be answering the phone too, so not an envelope inside.

0

660.126 - 661.568 Will Grundy

Sounds great. Hi, Keira.

0

661.852 - 664.296 Lilian Bellamy

I don't think I'll be very good at answering phones.

0

664.376 - 677.518 Will Grundy

Don't listen to her, Lillian. She's always saying she isn't good at something, then goes and smashes it. Oh, I'm rubbish at football. And then she scores like a hat trick or something. And on her last report, she got predicted an eight for her GCSE English.

0

677.558 - 682.166 Lilian Bellamy

That's only predicted. Doesn't mean I'm going to get it. I'm sure you will. Congratulations.

682.286 - 685.632 Will Grundy

I know, right? And she has a whole year left, so she could even get a nine.

685.612 - 687.474 Lilian Bellamy

How do you even know what my report said?

687.654 - 692.48 Will Grundy

Because Mum hasn't stopped going on about it. She told literally everyone, endlessly.

693.02 - 700.369 Lilian Bellamy

It sounds like we'll be wanting to keep you for longer than a week, Keira. I need to thank you, clever old Mum, for coming up with the idea. I just wish she'd asked me first.
