BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 03/06/2020

Susan faces the consequences and Ben hits the jackpot.

Embarrassed by what she said on the radio yesterday, Susan worries about the gossip it will cause and how it’ll impact on Neil. Emma is still in a mood with Susan and Jazzer has won the shearing bet because Ed was thrown by hearing Susan’s revelations. Susan isn’t answering Tracy’s calls. Susan admits she can’t stand people talking about her. She recounts leaving prison and trying to go back to life in Ambridge. 
Neil shows Susan all the comments online about her divulging her chilli recipe. They are positive about Susan’s frankness about sex in later life. Radio Borsetshire want Susan to do a regular slot and she’s trending on Twitter. Susan regains her confidence and celebrates with some more honey rum. 
Ed and Jazzer are shearing at Brookfield; Ben is a catcher for them. Ben recounts laughing with Jill at hearing Susan talking about her chilli recipe. Ben recognises he gets on really well with Jill and he saw how much having her wartime stories read out on the radio meant to her. 
Ben remembers Chloe is a junior doctor and decides to send her a text. He’s amazed she replies and seems pleased to hear from him. He asks Susan for her chilli recipe in the hope he can make it for Chloe one day.
