Pip Archer

played by Helen Monks

Description

Like many teenagers, Pip has multiple personalities. At times she's a delight, particularly when she's taking an interest in the cows. But she's also reached the age that parents wish could be fast-forwarded, when the simplest request can be met with stentorian huffing and vertebrae-threatening head tossing. Ruth and David are resigned to toughing it out. As can often be the case at this tricky time, Pip sometimes gets on better with grandfather Phil, especially as she has inherited some of his musical talent. As well as being a member of the local Young Farmers, Pip's a keen eco warrior, and won't knowingly let anyone get away with damaging the planet.
