BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/12/2011

Jazzer is in a bolshie mood. Meanwhile Susan contemplates Christmas without her mum.

Jazzer admires the stage set at the village hall but is surprised that Lynda plans to record his rehearsal so that she and Vicky can provide feedback. After recovering from a coughing fit, Jazzer manages to sing but Lynda's not happy with his inappropriate choice of song. Jazzer's not prepared to come up with something twee.

With so much to do, Susan's glad she's taken the day off. Neil wishes she'd talk to Tracy about when she and the kids are moving out. Susan reminds him they agreed to get Christmas out the way first.

Clarrie's gutting the turkeys when Susan calls to deliver their Christmas card. Clarrie shows Susan the wedding cake, which is looking wonderful. They reminisce on the ups and downs of the past year.

Susan tells Neil that she and Tracy have made Bert and Gary's house look Christmassy but she knows it's not going to be the same. Neil agrees it's down to him and Susan to make sure everyone has a good time. He's sure they can do it - for Ivy.

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