BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 23/09/2019

It’s an emotional night for the Aldridge family.

It’s an emotional night for the Aldridge family and Kirsty is shocked by an unexpected request.

At the hospital, Kirsty attempts to distract a worried Jennifer with talk of the Flower and Produce show. As Adam and Ian take a breather, the midwife appears. He explains to them that Lexi only wants one birthing partner. She’s feeling overwhelmed and wants to focus during the final stages. She’d like Kirsty with her. Jennifer is affronted; Lexi doesn’t mind having a male midwife, why would she find two more men in the room overwhelming?
Kirsty appears: they have a beautiful baby boy. Adam and Ian rush through to meet their son Lexi wants them to have the first hold. Adam and Ian are overwhelmed with pride for their new baby. Lexi can’t stop apologising for completing the birth without them, but they won’t hear it. Adam and Ian are eternally grateful to her for providing them with a child.
As soon as Jennifer is allowed into the room, she fusses over the baby. Lexi assures Adam and Ian what great parents they’ll make. They gather together with Lexi for a photo, and with an awkward smile Jennifer reluctantly joins.

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