Logo for The Archers - 11/11/2008

Alistair has ambitious plans for the panto waterfall and the beanstalk. Shula doesn't see the point in this Thursday's read-through, with so many parts still to be cast. Daniel's disappointed at Sabrina Thwaite getting the role of Jack. Peggy's surprised to see Adam, and makes him promise not to tell anyone that she's been getting help from Ian. She's not going to give anyone reason to suggest Jack should go back into a care home. Adam promises, and agrees he'll leave Peggy to cope tomorrow morning but he'll call in the evening to see if Jack had a good day at the day centre. Peggy's happy with this. Abbie's had another sleepless night. Elizabeth suggests they move in to Lower Loxley now but Hayley wants to wait until they cut the house in two. Shula joins them for coffee but soon both Abbie and Hayley are fast asleep. Shula jokes it was when she mentioned Alistair's riveting plans for the panto. Shula's pleased Elizabeth can help with the costumes. They agree Hayley would be brilliant with the children in the panto but she's got enough on her plate, and it's not going to get any better. Elizabeth wonders how much longer Hayley, still sleeping, can carry on. Episode written by Mary Cutler.
