BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 10/12/2020

Helen is asked a shocking favour and will Gavin finally do the right thing?

Kirsty finds Helen about to start a busy day in the dairy and springs on her that she really wants Helen to be a witness when she marries Philip – this afternoon! On the way to the register office, Helen hurriedly applies make up as Kirsty explains that she’s happy for Gavin to be their other wedding guest. She’s realised he’s been having a tough time recently which makes his previous hostility make sense. 

Gavin tries to shares his concerns regarding what he’s heard about Victoria, the person Philip plans to sell on his enslaved labour to, but Philip won’t change his plan. 

Before the ceremony, Helen chats to Gavin about her friendship with Kirsty. When Gavin asks Helen about Rob, she explains how Kirsty refused to give up when Rob was manipulating Helen to push Kirsty away. Helen apologises for bringing the mood down and asserts that Philip is one of the good guys. Then, Kirsty notices Gavin isn’t his usual self and figures it must be because his and Kelly’s wedding day never happened. Gavin’s grateful to Kirsty for all the kindness she’s shown him. He tells Kirsty he’s sorry and she assures him he’s nothing to be sorry for. 

Philip interrupts the formal part of the ceremony to say a few words of his own. He tells Kirsty that she makes him a better person and how today is a new start for him – for them both. They then complete the ceremony.

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