The Week

The Archers: what happened last week

-

Matt is back on the scene in Ambridge. He insists to Lilian the only reason he’s there is to catch up with some old racing contacts, since he’s involved in a project to build a racecourse in Costa Rica. David is wrestling with the question of his responsibi­lity for the infectious bovine rhinotrach­eitis (IBR) outbreak at Brookfield and neighbouri­ng farms. His money worries are compounded by the breakdown of a tractor, which will cost thousands to repair. Ed is tricky with Emma about her late shifts at the factory, but later agrees the extra hours are worth it for the money. Matt gloatingly tells Lilian that he’s heard she rejected Justin’s proposal of marriage. Furious, she tears up the cheque he gave her and tells him she doesn’t need him or his money. She rushes off to find Justin and asks him to marry her. He’s thrilled. Tom confronts David, saying Brookfield should pay compensati­on for the IBR outbreak. Later, Pip finally feels forced to own up to David: the cows got out through a broken fence she forgot to repair and then mixed with the cattle at Bridge Farm.
