BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 19/04/2021

Fallon is left reeling and a breakout at Berrow sees Jazzer as happy as a pig in mud.

Alice seeks out Harrison to apologise for her drunken behaviour last week. She wants it to all be forgotten but Harrison says can’t lie to Fallon. When Harrison repeats some of the things Alice said, she insists she didn’t mean any of it. 
Neil hopes Jazzer will apply for the job at Berrow now the outdoor unit’s up and running, but Jazzer’s reluctant to give up his cosy polytunnel for the hard graft of pig work. They’re interrupted by Neil’s phone – some of the new pigs have already escaped! Jazzer helps Neil round them up. Neil comments on Jazzer’s natural affinity with pigs and talks him through the setup at Berrow. 
Harrison tells Fallon about what happened with Alice last week which means he also has to tell her that Alice is an alcoholic. Fallon can’t believe that Harrison hasn’t shared this with her sooner. She’s full of questions as she tries to make sense of this news about her friend. Harrison’s at a loss as to what to do next. Fallon thinks it’s obvious – he should talk to Chris. But Harrison’s not sure Chris could take it. Harrison feels the Carters’ relationship is on a knife-edge and he doesn’t want to be the one who pushes it over.

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