Brian Confesses to Jennifer

BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, Brian Confesses to Jennifer

We delve into The Archers’ archive and Brian has a confession to make.

We delve into The Archers’ archive and revisit the day Brian finally admits to Jennifer about his affair with Siobhan, confessing that he is the father of Siobhan’s baby, Ruairi.

Three weeks of themed programmes from the last two decades reliving key moments from the characters’ lives and the events that make Ambridge unforgettable. This episode forms part of the second week when we take a look at five different events that affect the characters’ relationship to their homes and the land, in ‘There’s No Place Like Home’.  

When Brian Aldridge’s step-daughter, Debbie, confronted Brian over his affair with the much younger Siobhan Hathaway, he knew the game was up and that he had to confess to wife Jennifer.

Jennifer’s vision of her contented home life is shattered when she realises that Brian is the father of Siobhan’s baby.  The episodes leading up to Brian's admission to Jennifer were heard by 4.75 million listeners.

This programme was originally broadcast on 15th December 2002.

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