BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 21/03/2022

Alice is stunned by a shocking admission, and Alan is worried about a family member.

Hannah tries to explain to Jazzer that she and Neil are working on a cost-cutting plan to save Berrow from closure. This doesn’t give Jazzer any hope, he doesn’t trust Hannah will not cut his job.  Later, Hannah finds Jazzer in The Bull and implores him to listen to her properly. She reveals that if she loses her job, she won’t be able to support her mum and stepdad with respite care for her mum’s dementia.  Justin overhears their conversation and warns them not to gossip. Jazzer and Hannah push back against Justin’s warning and once he’s gone agree that they are on the same side.  

Alice calls in at The Vicarage asking after Amy. Usha and Alan present a united front explaining that Amy is still away in Nottingham. When Alice asks them if Amy is OK, Alan struggles to answer. Alice wants to be there for Amy as she has been then for her, but Amy hasn’t been answering her calls. Once Alice has gone, Alan calls out to Amy who is hiding in her room. He’s never lying to her friends for her again. Over dinner, Alan and Usha press Amy for the reason behind her avoidance of Alice but have no success.

Amy calls in on Alice at The Nest and confesses that she and Chris slept together. Alice laughs and then realises Amy isn’t joking. Alice insists that Amy tells her everything about how it happened. Alice is incredulous of Amy’s explanations and her anger builds to screaming at Amy to get out of her house. As Amy goes, Alice dissolves into tears.
