Helen struggles to forgive and forget, and Nigel works his charm on Jill.

Jill is going to Lower Loxley to meet up with Nigel, Elizabeth and the children who have invited her for a ride in Cranford Crystal's hay wagon, after which they are going to the candlelit service at St Stephen's. Nigel has a serious word with Lily about being so jealous that Freddie has got a proper part in the pantomime. She has to realise that she is clever with school work, and the pantomime is Freddie's thing. Lily accepts the point and is more generous with Freddie. 

Ian is decorating the nursery for Helen when Tony calls round with a peace offering for Helen after their row last week. It's a baby monitor, but Helen already has one. It was one of the first things she bought, and she had showed it to Tony and Pat. Tony is devastated when he realises his mistake, offering to change it for something else., but the damage is done. 

Ian tries to make Helen realise that Tony meant well with his gift, but Helen explains about the row. She despairs that her dad will never be able to support her in her decision to have a baby.

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