BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 29/07/2018

An arrival ruffles feathers, and Harrison has a confession.

Desperate for material for his best man's speech, Chris asks Harrison for his brother Marcus' number. He hopes Marcus will provide him with some more personal material, and is surprised when Harrison curtly refuses. He asks Chris not to dig up his past - a generic speech is fine by him. Later Harrison worries if he gave Chris the wrong idea - he isn't hiding anything sinister. Worried that Chris will hear a lurid account from Marcus at his stag night, Harrison tells him the whole story, but swears him to secrecy. When Harrison was a broke student he spent time working as a stripper-gram - initially dressing as a police officer. Then he joined an all-male Spice Girls themed act - he wore Ginger Spice's iconic Union Jack dress (at least at the start!). Chris finds the whole story hilarious, but promises not to breathe a word.

Robin Faribrother arrives at Brookfield laden with champagne and gifts for the family. Jill is unmoved by her huge bouquet, and Robin puts his foot in it by asking whether Phil will be joining them. He's looking forward to seeing Toby's gin business, but less enthusiastic when Toby reminds him that he should also look at Rex's pigs. Robin has fond memories of his time in Ambridge, and plans to enjoy a walk down memory lane...

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
