BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 02/12/2020

Jazzer finds himself under attack and it’s the end of an era for Susan.

Jazzer tries to calm Jim who’s just agreed to spend Christmas Day with Fiona and her partner Angie via video-link. He worries he’ll make the wrong impression with his daughter’s partner. 
Neil recounts how Chris seems out of sorts but Susan’s not really listening. She’s pre-occupied with finding a last minute replacement guest for her radio show. She begs Neil to do a turn as the Parish Council Chair but he refuses and Susan has to settle for Bert Fry. Later, Neil says he heard Susan’s show and Bert wasn’t a thrilling listen. Susan tells Neil that her producer has told her they are bringing her show to an end. She’s sad about it but, with so many other things to do, she says it might be for the best after all. 
Jim breaks up a row between Tracy and Jazzer. Tracy is furious Jazzer sold his home-brew to Brad but Jazzer insists he’s done nothing wrong. Jim tells Jazzer he owes Tracy an apology. Jazzer calls round at Tracy’s to apologise, admitting he’s doing so at Jim’s request. Jazzer doesn’t think Tracy can get on her high horse; she was doing the same as Brad when she was a teenager. Tracy bites back that it’s different when it’s your own kid which is something that Jazzer will never understand.

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