BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 16/12/2010

Helen is overloaded and Elizabeth handles a domestic crisis.

Freddie's upset over not doing well in a Maths practice paper and he and Lily have a set-to over his part in the panto. Jill's concerned that if Freddie's upset now, how will he be if he fails the real thing? Elizabeth insists that even if he doesn't pass they'll ensure he goes to the right school for him. 

Kenton and Lewis find highwaymen's outfits in the attic for Kenton's Deck the Hall idea. Kenton thinks he's going to enjoy this.

Pat and Tony share a smile over the combination of Susan and Vicky in the dairy. But Vicky's working well, and Pat's happy that a level of normality is returning. 

Helen's out Christmas shopping but when Tony takes a delivery to the shop he's perturbed to find she's carried a steriliser all the way back from Underwoods. She's already declined help from Kenton after an insensitive remark about managing alone, so when Tony tries to help, she explodes and accuses him of being against her every step of the way. Tony tries to reason with her but she tells him to go. 

Tony tells Pat he can't leave it like this but he doesn't know what to do, or where to start.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
