BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 02/12/2011

Tom makes his feelings clear. Meanwhile, Mike puts a foot wrong.

Vicky's cross with Mike for coming home late last night. His head's thumping as he shrugs off to the burial site. Vicky joins him there later with a peace offering, her freshly baked calzonelli. She's done a dummy run for the Christmas show. Mike apologises for being out late, but his excuses don't work as Vicky realises she missed out on quite a gathering at the Bull. 

Lynda's delighted with Ian's idea for the Christmas show - Les Très Desserts Noel. Thirteen desserts to represent Christ and the disciples, a tradition from Provence. Lynda can't wait to research it. 

Helen shares her anguish with Ian, and what she went through after John died. Ian thinks she's stronger than she realises. He tells her to focus on Henry and her own life. The past can't threaten that. Helen wishes she had his faith in her. 

Pat's anxious to hear Tom's thoughts but it's not what she's expecting. He tells her to ditch the whole idea of ringing Sharon, it's too high a price to pay. She can't push Helen like this, so she needs to draw a line under the fantasy and move on.

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