BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 21/12/2010

Vicky is very worried and Tom's on a diplomatic mission.

Lynda is pleased that Coriander, Justin and Oscar are coming for Christmas. Coriander has some of Oscar's baby things for Helen. 

There's a problem in the dairy when Lynda telephones Pat to say that the yoghurts she bought from Ambridge Organics are strawberry rather than raspberry as labelled. On further investigation Pat finds out that Vicky carelessly labelled them wrongly. Underwoods have also been sent a wrong batch. Pat is irritated. It's a complication she doesn't need. Vicky frets that she's more trouble than she's worth. Susan is preparing for her 'family' party on Christmas Eve. She's doing special canapés to impress Brian and Jennifer. 

Pat is worried that Helen may not going to come to Bridge Farm for the traditional Christmas tree decorating. She asks Tom if he'll go and ask her. Tom takes the rocking chair from Bridge Farm as an excuse to call, but Helen rumbles him. She will come on Christmas Eve but she's not staying over to Christmas Day. 

Tom breaks the news to Pat who's upset that Helen will be waking up on Christmas Day on her own. Tom reassures her that next year Helen will have the 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.
