And the Omnibus so I was forced into the archers when I was a child and look it’s come back to bite me later on I’m a wash with the stuff The Archers is the world’s longest running radio show with more than 15 000 episodes broadcast despite being a rural flavor show The
Archers is recorded in the heart of the UK’s second largest city Birmingham previously in the Arches emotions run high for pip and fallonies surprised by a generous offer Tom gives Fallon the news that they won’t be giving her a long lease on the Tea Room he reassures her it’s nothing she’s done wrong
Perceptive Linda sees Fallon’s upset when she confuses an order Fallon explains her conversation with Tom Linda assures her she’s doing brilliantly the Tea Room is a success yes but for how long declares Fallon she understands the Bridge Farm archers might want to keep their options open but with the possibility of competition
In the form of a coffee chain just down the road she doesn’t want to lose vital football it couldn’t come at a worse time with Harrison about to reduce his hours Linda reckons Fallon needs some work-life balance too FAL encounters she loves her job it doesn’t feel like work but can see to
Holiday would be nice Linda offers her a loan Fallon’s touched by her kindness but says she doesn’t need one at the moment Linda declares she’ll make it her mission to ensure the community supports the Tea Room pip returns Stella’s back feeling awkward about last night she scuttles off leaving Stellar exasperated
She catches up with Pip saying she doesn’t want things to be weird between them pip wants to forget it ever happened but Stella says there’s no need to be embarrassed it was just a kiss and not a big deal pitfalls and they drink tea together she thanks Stella for making it normal
Stella reassures pip last night was down to both of them they agree they’re really glad they’re mates thank you so much for listening to this archers episode you’re listening to Sunday’s episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4.

Uh yeah yeah that’s not a bad idea I could see if Ben fancy is coming too great no little girl let’s get you back to your mates ah Linda goodness have you been on your allotment all morning yes I brought you some radishes oh thank you yeah lovely I
Thought I’d plant some cabbage seeds but it took longer to prepare the soil than I thought and well I totally forgot the time you’re really getting stuck into your allotment aren’t you literally I find it so peaceful and and purposeful if you see what I mean but I’ve got a
Conference call in 20 minutes and I need to shower first you’ve got a work call on a Sunday with the owners but I haven’t eaten since breakfast oh dear I don’t suppose there’s any chance of a light sandwich at all now you know we don’t Supply lunch yes
But I’d be incredibly grateful and you can add it to my bill I’ll struggle to concentrate if I’m hungry hmm it’s a very important call please Linda I can’t guarantee anything of course but I’d recommend you for one of the welcome roles help yourself to biscuits oh thanks our recruitment advertising
Starts this week so I’m very much hoping you’ll apply um it’s a kind thought Oliver that sounds like a no sorry you have exactly the skills we need to welcome our guests making sure they’re happy that’s what was best at the old gray Gables we’ll run things a little differently but I
Want the staff to be as approachable as they were back then which is why I thought of you thanks opening this Autumn is it October and the plan is to relaunch with a spectacular Black Tie do please say you’ll think about it Tracy don’t get me wrong I appreciate you
Giving me the heads up but I’m really happy at the ball Joleen and Kenton are smashing to work for not that you were that’s okay and yeah it’s a lot less money but the ball has none of the stresses of a big hotel so I can be
Around for Dad and Chelsea and Brad pretty much whenever they need me hmm I was that upset when gray Gables closed it was my greatest regret I’m not sure I’d cope with that kind not back again I couldn’t put myself through it I wouldn’t let it happen again no offense
But you ain’t in charge no more Oliver not completely this is true but thanks for mentioning it so uh is perhaps nervous about his as results it is this week oh Thursday he reckons a lot of the colleges don’t do them no more so isn’t that important
Well still want to do well oh we know that but he’s pretending not to care oh I must show you his math trophy oh he’s Wonder trophy at the college Awards evening he had to go up on stage and everything wonderful it usually goes to someone in the year above so it’s really
Oh sorry no it’s a work call you take it I’ll go and find the trophy right you are won’t be a sec afternoon until Olive I thought you’d like to hear my call with the owners went extremely well our launch plans have the green light excellent I’ll show
And we should have a chat about local recruitment yes were they going Live this week I’m particularly anxious to find the right event planner I’m spreading the word locally so our previous staff know there are jobs coming up I realize lots of them have left Hotel work but we might tempt them
Back I Linda just now completely unmanageable unmanageable no I I wouldn’t say that you say then sorry um challenging perhaps but mostly in a good way right anyway let’s talk about it in the office tomorrow okay okay bye now sorry Tracy oh no worries who’s unmanageable then huh no sorry
That wasn’t uh we uh we need we need an expert events planner you see sure because it’s a well it’s up challenging role and things can get quite unmanageable I’ll tell you would be good at events planning Linda she she’d be brilliant you know she would well she’s returned no surely
She’s a great organizer she was supposed to take a back seat on the fight this year but she still oversaw it all and produced that Fab brochure yes I’ll I’ll remind I do ah no that truth is you Brad’s that embarrassed he did it under his bed
Well I’m putting it in the front window so everyone can see it there what do you reckon the ideal spot his hard work’s paying off he should be very proud my thoughts exactly prices I only filled the tops yesterday thirsty weather yeah it really is
No would you like to hear me bullying an idea oh God I was looking online for things to do with kids and there’s a new roller skating rink just outside Rochester Hey sir Rosie love it yeah she’s always wanted to go skating so how about taking a Wednesday early evening I
I can’t take her on my own mum I’m rubbish on Scopes you came ice skating with me a few times in Northumberland yeah when I was about 10 and I just fell over all the time whereas you were brilliant well I can go around on the ice but roller skates are different
Anyway I meant the two of us we both take oh great I’ve been can Dad cope without it I’ve told him it’s Rosie’s Big Tree so he’s doing the Milton and Ben’s agreed to cover the Barn event it’s a tea dance so it’s nice and straightforward you’ve sorted it all mum
That’s fantastic I can’t wait to tell her anything I’m gonna go and tell her then I’ll finish up here she’ll be so chuffed oh and Mum lot easily on Tuesday night if you can babysit of course thanks Mom no problem thanks very much I’ll just grab the dead ones cheers
Oh For Heaven’s Sake you’ll scare Monty there don’t worry Tracy can be very loud no he loves me don’t you boy see tail wagon your eggs is tail at everyone and why are you addressing me like that mask it’s been years since I had to correct you for calling me Lind I know
Takes me straight back to our days at gray Gables yep so so what did our deal say about about the organizing job you’ve lost me gray Gables is recruiting and Oliver mentioned they need someone to organize events really I said that’s right up your street and Oliver was going to
Speak to our deal look our Deal’s been in the house all afternoon but he hasn’t mentioned a thing I even made him a plowman’s panini maybe Oliver is speaking to him tomorrow must be a tricky job though that’s what I thought of you I have overseen count as tricky
Events in my time I couldn’t hear everything because they were on the phone but it sounded like aldoor said the job’s unmanageable whereas Oliver thinks it’s challenging but mostly in a good way now that sounds like my kind of thing I do relish a challenge I wonder why Adele hasn’t mentioned it
Unless of course they think I’m past it past it who in their right mind would think Linda Snell is past anything you’re far too kind I am but a humble human being a humble human being with the best organizational skills this side of Birmingham you turned the fight
Around this year when it could have been a disaster if anyone can manage the unmanageable it is actually a need I don’t know what events mind but they can’t be that different to your ones not at all an event is simply an event except when I’m in charge because then
It is an event right perhaps I need to convince Oliver and Adil that there remains life in the old dog and she’s not talking about you Monty yes I may be forced to blow my own rather considerable trumpet Cheerio for now cheers Linda sorry Linda that’s better goodbye Trace These are all parts of the uh paraphernalia production uh yep that’s the ball bar that’s this one yeah that’s so wanted to be in their own place when they baby claim it due in two months not much chance of that now no I mean it would have been a stretch for him
Financially mine but oh I just wish it was something practical I could do to help him Caroline I mean I think the archers has had this immense popularity over the years um basically because it has always very accurately reflected the reality of life and living in a rural community whatever
