BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 27/12/2011

Pat tries to make amends. Meanwhile Jim presents Lynda with a challenge.

Kathy and Pat compare their Christmas days. Kathy's was quiet with Jamie at Natalie's. She went to Kenton and Jolene's do in the evening. Lilian wants Pat's guest list for her 60th party but Pat feels there's nothing to celebrate. She tells Kathy about breaking down yesterday over Rich. Their disastrous meeting in Leeds has made things much worse. He was very like John but the deal is that she can have no further contact. And the meeting has alienated Tom and Helen. 

Back at home Pat apologises to Helen, who has been looking at Facebook photos of Rich. Pat tells her Rich's real name is John, which shows Sharon must have loved John. Helen thinks of her experience with Greg. They agree that if you love someone you have to let them go. 

Lynda's busily preparing for Wednesday's show, so Robert reminds her to relax. Lynda is desperate to know what Jazzer is planning to sing, and there seems to have been a major misunderstanding with Jim when he arrives expecting his equipment to have been set up. Jim's certain that Grey Gables will have everything he needs, and suggests that Lynda gives them a call.

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