Ruth wants the news, and Christine is feeling fragile.

Ruth has been trying to call David but the phone networks are still down. Worried David tells Ruth to stay put up North, as it's like a war zone in Ambridge. Josh is in Darrington. Freda Fry is in hospital with shock and hypothermia.
People are marooned at St Stephens. Ian has made food. Jim comments on lack of help from the Emergency Services, who are probably too busy helping in Borchester. Meanwhile, Sabrina Thwaite is collecting clothes to hand out and keep people warm. 
Christine's dreading returning home, worried about what she'll find. Shula offers to put her up.
Bert's bungalow is like a cess pit. and the garden is a disaster area. Poor Freda's recipe books are soaking. David tries to reassure Bert that insurance will cover some items.
Pip's stressed - they have nowhere to put the milk
Ruth eventually arrives home, to David's shock and delight. Pip's overcome, so relieved to have her Mum home. Ruth's ready to help.

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