The Archers - 09/08/2010

At Bridge Farm, Tony is thinking of a new mower and wants to pick up a bargain before next spring, but Tom and Pat don't see the necessity. Helen worries that her pregnancy is starting to show, and decides to tell Peggy about the baby. Peggy is concerned that Helen will be a single parent, but commends her bravery for delivering the news herself. Neil and Susan are pleased to be involved in planning Alice and Christopher's party, but are unimpressed by the Aldridges' informal barbeque idea. Despite hoping for something grander, they agree to provide the food and arrange for Gourmet Grills to do the catering. Peggy confides in Tony. She's upset about Helen's news, and Tony admits he feels like the bad guy for not approving of the pregnancy. They both agree to support Helen, but are concerned about the future.
