The Archers Friday 11th November 2011: Brian’s been fibbing to Debbie

(and I still find it strange that Debbie calls him ‘dad’)

  • Debbie’s fresh from the Hungarian plains
  • Susan still isn’t convinced about those rings
  • Kylie makes up her mind about Clive
  • Andrew is very dull indeed
  • Kylie doesn’t remember the caravan
  • Brian blames Lilian



Debbie’s fresh from the Hungarian plains

According to Brian.

She’s back over for a Borchester Land meeting about the Super Dairy.

Jennifer is upset on two accounts. Firstly, that Debbie isn’t stopping over – she’s here for the meeting then back to Hungry again.

And second, about Adam’s feeling about the Super Diary.

But Brian reassures Debbie that he’s sorted everything with Adam.


Susan still isn’t convinced about those rings.

She thinks Clive cheated Bert out of them.

[Susan] “Mum would never have left those rings to Clive. Never. Not in a million years … rings don’t go to sons, they go to daughters … Clive got hold of him when he was upset and vulnerable, got round him with his smarmy cheating lies, or just plain bullied him. Preying on a defenceless man … I can’t believe I was so stupid. I’ll never believe a word he says ever again”

Here’s hoping.

But either way, I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Clive yet.


Kylie makes up her mind about Clive

She doesn’t want to see him again nor have any contact with him.

All that after one meeting. Kirsty is quite an astute judge of character, methinks.


Andrew is very dull indeed

He’s on the BL Board, so was at the meeting about the Super Dairy, but I missed most of what he said.

Very dull indeed.

He seemed to be quizzing Debbie about the size of the Dairy.

And the main point I heard him say (between dozing) was that he’d heard Adam wasn’t backing Home Farm’s involvement.

Which was actually quite important.

BL don’t want to make any decisions until Adam (so the whole of Home Farm) is supportive of the project.

So, no decisions about the Super Dairy until January. Which give Brian ample time to brood about it.


Kylie doesn’t remember the caravan

Nor anything else about her time at Bridge Farm. Apart from her mum always being stressed out when they were there.

But she’s met Pat, who she likes.

Kylie had a thirteen year old brother called Rich, and has a stepdad called Eamon. Eamon has been with Sharon for quite a while, and Kylie sees him as her dad proper.

So, really no need for a Clive in her life. Thank goodness.

Susan even reckons that Clive walking out on them was the best thing he’s ever done.


Brian blames Lilian

For telling that Andrew about Adam not backing the Super Dairy.

Debbie isn’t best pleased with Brian, as he’d earlier told her that he and Adam had reached “an understanding”.

But, Brian now claims that the understanding was that he and Debbie wanted the Super Diary, so could carry on regardless as they had the majority share between them.

Is it just me, or is Brian being a bit thick?

Debbie would have found out that Adam was still against the plans, and would have also found out that Brian had basically told Adam that he was being outvoted.

And – now that Debbie knows – she reckons the whole project is “dead”.

No Adam. No Super Dairy.

Sweet talk your way out of that one, Brian.
