BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 16/01/2011

Vicky is game for a laugh and Pip makes a difficult visit.

Baby Henry has been moved to the Transitional Unit. Tom remarks that Helen's a natural with him. He tells her about Joe's latest money making scheme to sell 'grow your own mistletoe kits' by dressing up as a druid. He looks like something out of Asterix. 

Vicky brings a gift for the baby and teases Tom that it won't be long before Brenda will want a baby. When Vicky discusses the surprise party that she's arranging for Brenda's 30th, Tom scotches her idea of having party games, but he can't change her mind about collecting memories of Brenda to stick up round the room. Tom fears the party will be a disaster.

Pip drives to see Elizabeth with Ruth, as her driving test is only two weeks away. Pip offers to help at Lower Loxley but Elizabeth wants her to concentrate on her exam re-sits. Freddie and Lily are also going to be busy studying, as they're keen to do the selection exams for their secondary schools. They want to do well, for Nigel. 

Ruth and Pip reflect that Elizabeth and the twins have a long road ahead of them.
