Three weeks of themed programmes from the last two decades revisiting key moments from the characters’ lives and the events that make Ambridge unforgettable. This episode forms part of the third week when we take a look at five different occasions that mark unmissable dates in The Ambridge Calendar.

Remember, remember the 5th of November. As David and Kenton are in high spirits setting up the firework display Ian discovers Peggy at breaking point with Jack, whose increasingly erratic behaviour has kept her up all night.

Peggy married Jack Woolley, a pillar of the Borchester community, back in 1991 and they began to look forward to a blissful retirement.

All was going according to plan until Jack was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. One by one he sold Grey Gables, the Borchester Echo and Jaxx Caff as his illness progressed. Peggy began a long and difficult period as his carer.

When she had a stroke in 2008, Peggy reluctantly realised that as Jack deteriorated further he needed residential care. She was a very frequent visitor to The Laurels until his death.

This programme was originally broadcast on Wednesday 5th November 2008.
