BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 29/09/2022

Chelsea faces the music, and Eddie pushes his luck.

Mischievous George draws Kenton into the conversation he’s having with Clarrie, who gets embarrassed and bustles away. George discloses to Kenton that his grandma and grandpa have fallen out big time, recounting to mortified Kenton the tale of Clarrie’s ‘affair’ of years ago. Kenton rushes to Grange Farm to speak to Eddie, who plays the wronged husband to a tee. He makes Kenton squirm; Kenton insists his kiss with Clarrie when they were teenagers meant nothing, it was years ago and he certainly would never laugh at Eddie. Eddie continues to tie Kenton in knots, and turns on the tears. Kenton declares he’ll do anything to put things right. Later George congratulates his grandpa on his performance, and for securing free drinks for the foreseeable future. But Clarrie smells a rat when she finds them giggling, and wonders what scheme they’re cooking up.
Beth visits wrongfooted Chelsea, who in a bizarre turn of events ends up doing her hair. Beth asks Chelsea for the truth, and Chelsea recounts the events of the night of the rave. Beth asks Chelsea if she’s decided what to do about the baby. In turn Chelsea asks Beth whether she’ll stay with Ben. Beth hasn’t a clue. Chelsea points out Ben was heartbroken when Beth ended it last time, and that he’s desperate not to lose her again now. He’s also offered help to Chelsea and is a good person. Beth can’t cope anymore and leaves.

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