Ranger. for the ones who get it done You're listening to Sunday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio four Xandra is actually pretty good at cart wheels. Did you see that one? Yeah yeah. He's much better than most kids' age and his handstands aren't too shabby either. Maybe I should see if there's a gym club he could go to in Borchester. Yeah, I'd like that. No I'm not at home far from dawn till dusk all these things are possible. How can take Xanda to clubs, haveave his friends over after school Finally learn how to make Bmange. What? So Adam is making Bmange on your bucket list. It is. Literally. The only thing that stopped me from making perfect milk based desserts is having a headful of herbal legs. Although to be fair, I mean you were never happier than when you were calculating ways to improve soil health. No wonder you fell in love with me, who wouldn't U This is so nice. Just you me and Xander. H If it was always like this, I think I'd be happy I'm sorry things are so tough. Oh, you know. At least I've had the pleasure of redirecting all the home farm headaches to Brian, all the niggly annoyances of day to day farm management, including a text this morning from Martin Gibson asking for an update. H You know, I have to say, I like the thought of Brian's forone constantly pinging. Finally realizing just how much of the work you took on Xander, you five minutes. P me the suncream, wouldould you eit and not start packing up? What time are we dropping Xander and Kit? Half one, that should give us time to walk up to Bridge Farm for our afternoon tea. Has Brian mentioned the solicitor's letter yet? Oh Of course not. That can be the end of it, surely. What else can I do? Whatever it takes to hold him to account? He I thought you were keen for me to accept I'm not going to inherit and move on. Yeah, I am. but I think you have to fight for what he owes you. Surely you need to put some pressure on him to respond to the letter. Look, the sun's out. It's Sunday, Father's Day, and I don't want to think about any of this right now Ready Henry? Go for it. And Kira Grundy shows Cation how to take a perfect Chloe Kelly penalty. Top righty and corner? Half the bar. A, Jug skull's so small. Why do I think it was better when we just used jumpers? Try again. A, I'm too hot. Have you got any water Yeah. Sted ! Oh, that's bare. Can't go this the afternoon too if your dad looking like that. You're so. it's only water, it'll dry off Did you all take your work experience? Kleil told me you miss a Deadline. Yeah. then mum went and got me a week working at AMSide. Oh well, that might be alright. It won't. I'll be stuck in Lillam Bellamy's study trying to rent houses to rich people. Oh, seeee how the light slides through the west window to glimmer on the swimming pool. And notice how the kitchen island is made of pure gold Oh, you're al right, Working here. or doing stuff you actually want to do. You could have applied to do farm work if you hadn't left it too late. That's what my mum said. but I just forgot Oh, it's my dad He's on his way. Okay My mum booked the tea room and told me and George we had to take dad. Poppy and Will are doing their own thing. Oh yeah. Natasha's Father's Day special. What are you up to? Why aren't you playing cricket? Because mum had this idea that she'd take Jack and me out from the day. Crazy golf and hot dogs. Sounds good. Nah. I've decided not to go. I'd rather hang about here than spend another minute with Jack He' still in your room. Yep. You could come for afternoon tea with us? I don't know. Oh come on. I can eat cake and you can listen to George going on about how slapping a bit of paint on this old junk hot basically makes him dad of the year. Ed might think it's a bit weird if I'm there, you know, for Father's Day. Here's my dad now re you come in? Yeah. al right, if you sh. Hi, Henry. Hi Kara. Dad, Henry's coming with us. If that's okay. Yeah of course. Yeah I'm sure we can find an extra chair. Great. Henry's gonna chat to George so I don't have to. that's the spirit. I'll just grab my hoodie from the farmhouse. See there So do you think I'll win a prize at the show? With the Taxels? Well, yeah. unlesss a prize for most handsome dad in Borchester I think you could win. What most handsome dad? No. A prize for the Taxels. But only if you have some help getting the show ready. I was gonna have time for that? Me, Well I could do it from my work experience. Well I thought your mum had sorted that. She did, but I'd much rather work at Gange Farm and I wouldn't even need supervise it. Well, I think your school might have a different idea about that. But Amside's gonna be awful. How would you like to be stuck in a house with Justin Elliot? Come on nly for a week, there'll always be things you won't like about a job. So I just have to suck it up. Oh, not exactly. What I'm saying is you need to focus on the positives. like me at home fararm. It has its challenges, but as long as I keep well away from the oldldrid family politics, it's not a bad job. Really? Oh yeah, I mean I get to be outside G G good at what I do. I'm left alone to get on with it most of the time. So what are the positives of working at AMSide? Tik Tok, Tik took, Tik Tok, Tik Tok. Tim's up. Have you thought of exactly? no. No, that is not true. I've got one. Lillian is bound to have a fancy coffee machine. But I don't drink coffee. Oh is that Skylark over there? Dad, there's no Skylark. Don't change a subject I remember driving up this track the first morning I started work here. The relief of knowing there'd be no gamepling, no bridge farm, no power struggles. Now, would you work here again if there was a job? No, no, as much as I loved it at the time, it would feel like a backward step. But that's exactly why you need to fight Brian for what he owes you. No, because with some money behind you, you suddenly have options Even if Brian gives me a generous payoff, I'll never own a farm now. And at my age, I'm unlikely to be given a tenancy. somethingomet else, then. What about renting a bit of land? Oh for something like a market garden? Yes. Yeah, exactly that kind of thing. Keep it small and sustainable. You might be almost sixty, but you're healthy and full of energy You could still have a good twenty years to build something amazing to pass on to Zander Okay, whichich cake is everyone gonna to start with? Red buelit. I'll have a scwn, please. Here you go. A your. L looks like offalf the village is here. Brookfield Archers. Adam and Ian. I see Adam's not invited Brian to join them. But sorry Well I'm gonna have to take this. I'll be back in a minute Hi. Hi George. I hope it's not a bad time. Well I've just got a few questions about the Borchester showh. Logistical questions. Actually, An Marie, can I findone you back? I'm just in the middle of something. Of course. But before you go, just tell me how Amber's doing. I tried ringing her but she didn't answer. She's fine. She's at work. I left a few messages yesterday, Then I started to worry that something was wrong No, nothing's wrong. She's just hugely busy at the moment. Right. So I'll ring you back in a bit If you could. All right, bye. Thank you, George. Bye Well, passast some melt would you, Henry? He go. Sorry about that. So rude. on dad's special day. How why I don't mind? It wasasn't being rude Kira, I was actually on a business call. I literally don't care. Oh this is nice. Another slice of Victoria sponge, anyone? Yes, please Xandra iss going to love us, a box full of leftover cakes. Yeah although I might change my mind about letting them have the tart that lemon curd is divine. You know, I've been thinking about the market garden, my dear. Once Zander's in bed, I'm going to do a bit of research, get some ballpark figures of what I would need to get something like that off the ground. It's a great idea Once you've worked out what you need, you can really up the pressure on Brian. When is putting pressure on Brian ever work? Well, I mean, surely there are legal implications you can't ignore. ye Lovely afternoon isn't it? Gorgeous. Heody updad? You going back in for more cake? No No couldouldn't eat another thing. Cer thinks she left a phone on the table? How you getting on at Home Farm Is Brian treating you well? Well you know, head down, get the work done I'm sorry to hear that things didn't end on the best terms between you and Brian Adam. Yeah, Dank said. I used to like this time. The calm before the harvest starts, bit of headspace to dream about how the farm might look in five, ten. fifteen years? Cvered in caravans if Brian has anything to do with it. So he's still wedded to that ridiculous idea. Yeah, It's all on P' steam ahead. Thanks for bringing back. Are you at home? Is Amber there? No, I'm at my mum's. I see. You said you some questions about the show? Well, yes So you want to Do you think Ama's over doingoing it? Working too hard? I don't think so. She seems fine. looads of energy. That's good to hear. But after the show, I'll try and get her to rest a bit more, though she's not really a restter. That's true. She's more like me than she'd like to admit So, about the show? I just wanted to say that it's good to know that Bill and I can ring you if Amber isn't answering. Okay. Sorry, George. That's Bill now. I've got to go. But Is Amber off work tomorrow or Tuesday? Tuesday. Wonderful. I'll try calling her then. Bye, George. Bye. What are you doing here? Don't worry, I'm not staying I'most back to my dinner for Dad. Okay, see you Kira. What? Mum said you're doing work experience with Lillam Bellamy? Yeah That should be good. like good experience? It won't. I don't want to do it. I know they seem posh, but don't let that scare you. All you have to do to get Lillian on side is to turn on the charm. Tell her you love her shoes or her jewellery or whatever. What are you talking about? You've spent the last six months borrowed from her pub
