The Archers - 15/01/2010

Susan's got an interview on Monday for the office manager job at the insurance firm. Vicky's excited for her but hasn't heard Brenda mention anything. Brenda shows Mike the leaflet she's designed for the milk round and for David's Herefords. Vicky reminds Mike about their dance class later, and tactlessly tells Brenda about Susan's interview. Shocked Brenda has been turned down. Mike thinks Brenda must be overqualified. Vicky's disappointed when they arrive 15 minutes late to their dance class, and Mike has to use all his charm to get her out of her mood. Helen's feeling guilty but Annette won't be drawn in any more conversations. She flatly tells Helen that she's registered with a GP and has made another appointment at the clinic, so Helen's wasting her time. Helen assures Annette she'll respect her decision but wants to be sure it's the right one. She wants Annette to think of how the baby would love her and how she'd never feel alone any more. Annette feels sad and guilty as Helen comforts her, saying they'll stick together whatever happens. For Annette's own sake, all Helen's asking is that Annette just takes some time and thinks about it. Episode written by Simon Frith.
