BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/12/2014

Charlie needs a bit of help, and Helen is feeling the pinch.

Helen and Pat feel for miserable Roy, who's getting nowhere in trying to rebuild his relationship with Phoebe. Jennifer and Helen offer to help Pat out, who's back and forth to Birmingham visiting Tony. Tony is slowly getting some strength back in his legs.

Jennifer offers to have them all over for Christmas Day, but Pat says she'll be at the hospital with Tony, and Helen will be having a quiet one with Rob and Henry. Tom would be grateful though.

Jennifer gives Pat a gift from Prague. Adam tells Jennifer he and Ian are going away somewhere hot in the New Year - Adam can be spontaneous after all.

Pat and Helen enjoy the Christmas market in Birmingham. Helen's being careful with money, but Pat treats her to a wooden train set for Henry, plus some extra cash. She thanks Helen for all her support.

Charlie begs Adam for help - and his digger - to deal with a landslip at the Estate. Adam can't resist telling Charlie he should ask his mates at RB Farming, before finally agreeing to help. Charlie brings Adam coffee and sandwiches. He missed Adam at the shoot.

Charlie encourages Adam to find a niche operation. Arable farming is for the big players now. Before going, Charlie asks Adam if he'll be coming to the Christmas party at Grey Gables. Adam's not sure he'll have the time.

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