BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 12/05/2021

Fallon wants tongues to stop wagging but Emma can’t hold hers any longer.

Vince offers to help Rex set up the pig arks at Lower Loxley. As they chew the fat over the pigs Rex asks Vince if he’d like to be at the tasting with Elizabeth as he’d appreciate his professional opinion.  Vince believes the location could be a smart business move. If Elizabeth agrees to add the pork to her menu she’ll be able to charge a premium for it as the diners will love the traceability of the meat. 
Rex and Fallon mull over the fallout from Martha’s Christening. Fallon is fed up with people gossiping about Alice and Harrison. Snapping at Rex she reiterates Harrison did nothing wrong, it was all Alice, and Fallon is concerned how such slander could affect his reputation.  Later Emma confides in Fallon that Alice once caused a problem in her marriage when Alice convinced herself that Ed had made a pass at her.  Emma is sick of Alice’s drama and storms off to confront her. Finding only Brian and Kate, Emma hurls plenty of home truths about their precious Alice being a drunk.  Neither is in the mood to listen to her accusations and they ask Emma to leave. Brian is shaken by the encounter but Kate reassures him that Emma will be twisting the truth to suit her own agenda.

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