BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 11/12/2018

Elizabeth makes a surprising decision and Christine remains adamant.

Lily brings Elizabeth breakfast in bed. Elizabeth panics about sleeping in but Lily reassures her everything is under control. Lily ignores a call from Russ. Later, Elizabeth tells Lily they can’t go to Les Soeurs Heureuses after all (she forgot to book but gives a cover story) and offers to cook instead. In the end, Elizabeth orders in food from the Orangery, deepening Lily’s disappointment. They both feel weird without Freddie. Elizabeth doesn’t think she can visit Freddie and Lily can’t seem to persuade her to change her mind. 

Brian offers to take over searching for somewhere to live from Jennifer who is stressed about packing up their belongings. Peggy offers to put them up if they don’t find anywhere to live in time but Jennifer thinks with Ruairi they need their own place. By the end of the day Brian’s had no success in finding a new place to live but he’s going to enlist some help. 

Peggy visits Christine and asks her why she’s turned down Jill and Pat’s invites for Christmas. Christine wants to stay at The Laurels and not return to The Lodge. Peggy tries to persuade her not to go into assisted living.
