The Archers - 10/01/2010

Helen asks Annette to consider all her options but Annette's mind is made up - she's already booked her appointment at the abortion clinic. Jazzer tells Tom he's playing it cool with Fallon and is happy to see how things develop. Tom jokes that if he's playing it too casual, Fallon may have forgot they've arranged to go out to a club later. Jazzer panics and quickly phones Fallon to check she's still on for tonight, and is relieved to know she's remembered. Pat enjoys her birthday lunch with Helen, Brenda and Tom. Pat thinks Helen seems quiet but Helen insists she's fine. Brenda's applied for an office manager job at an insurance firm. It's not great but it's a job - if she gets it. Tom suggests they meet up with Fallon and Jazzer to take her mind off job-hunting. Fallon tells Brenda she's having a great time, and is pleased things are back to normal with Jazzer. Brenda asks if Jazzer feels the same way and Fallon insists he must do or he wouldn't have suggested tonight. When Jazzer asks Fallon if she'd rather be out with her band, Fallon declares she wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now. Episode written by Simon Frith.
