BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 12/11/2020

Jennifer faces a ghost from the past while Johnny puts his foot in it.

Jazzer’s appalled Johnny went home with Jade last night. He was hoping his own thing with her was going to go somewhere. Johnny apologises. He hadn’t realised. He was just trying to follow Jazzer’s own advice, to find a woman who knows what she wants. He doesn’t think he’ll be seeing her again. After covertly delivering homebrew to Ben at Willow Cottage, Johnny declares Jazzer should go for Jade if he really wants her. But Jazzer realises it’s futile if she doesn’t want him. They get a message from Ben: he’s found the beer, and Brian’s enjoying it. 

Ruairi and Jennifer chat. Jennifer gives him Where the Wild Things Are, a book from his childhood, which he loves. He confesses he’s saving Siobhan’s CD but doesn’t know how long to wait. He finally listens, and Jennifer stays with him at his request. Siobhan describes her world and surroundings in 2007, including some of Ruairi’s outfits and other poignant moments of his four-year-old life. She talks about discussing her death with him, and assures him that she loves him, whether he has a girlfriend, boyfriend, or however he turns out. Ruairi stops the CD. This is just what he wanted to hear. They continue, and at the end Ruairi declares it amazing. He’s glad he listened with Jennifer. Jennifer agrees.

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