BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 11/03/2011

There's a tearful parting at Lower Loxley and Jill faces an anxious wait.

Tony wonders if Henry will want to be a farmer. Helen shows Peggy round Henry's room, and Peggy tells Helen about Elona, the new care assistant who seems to have brightened Jack up. She's become a real treasure. 

Freddie sees Topper being taken away, and shouts at Elizabeth that he hates her. Lily tells him it's not mummy's fault, it's daddy's. Jill insists on taking the children straight to school. Elizabeth blames herself for not being more careful and for not giving Freddie enough time to say goodbye. Elizabeth becomes breathless and realises she needs an ambulance.

As the paramedics get Elizabeth into the ambulance, Jill explains that Elizabeth was born with a hole in the heart. Elizabeth insists it's not a heart attack but begs the paramedics to help her. She can't leave her children alone.

David drives Jill to the hospital. At A&E, the receptionist directs them to the resuscitation area, and David anxiously asks for assurance that Elizabeth's going to be all right.

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