BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 19/08/2018

Reality bites for Fallon, and Lynda is determined to get to the truth.

Hannah is surprised to see Fallon in the tea room so soon after her wedding and they discuss the cricket match happening at Farndale that afternoon. Lynda joins them, complimenting Fallon on her wedding reception before taking the opportunity to ask if Harrison has any more news on Constanza's kidnappers. Fallon stops herself from giving anything away but Lynda is suspicious and raises this with Harrison later when she quizzes him on his progress with the case. Harrison defends Fallon - having promised Susan he wouldn't reveal it was her. 

Before leaving for the cricket Tom receives a text from Natasha. Hannah teases him about his feelings for her but Tom insists he admires Natasha's business acumen and nothing else.

At the match Tom and Hannah discuss Ambridge's shortage of players, now Anisha's gone and Lily's in hiding. Tom thinks Hannah should join the team but she refuses. However Harrison easily persuades her into trying out at nets, despite his team losing the game. 
Harrison is worried people resent him for arresting Freddie, especially now he has been committed to Crown Court for sentencing. Fallon fears that if Freddie is sent to prison things might get a lot worse.

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