The Archers: Borchester Echoes

Phil and Jill Archer's younger daughter Elizabeth, is using her job in the tele-sales department of the Borchester Echo to try and break through into the world of journalism. Always on the lookout for news stories to impress proprietor Jack Woolley, she enlists the help of her boyfriend Robin Fairbrother and of winebar-owner Nelson Gabriel to investigate what she imagines to be a swindle being conducted by a local antiques dealer. Meanwhile her private life is carried on at a hectic pace. Robin Fairbrother offers her the entree to the world of fast cars and good living, but she is still amused by the antics of hooray-Henry Nigel Pargetter, and cannot resist a minor fling with Terry Barford, serving with the Army in Germany, who she joins for a weekend in Berlin. Elizabeth gets her story ... but not quite the job on the Borchester Echo she anticipated. The two earlier titles in The Archers trilogy are To the Victor the Spoils and Return to Ambridge.
