BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 30/01/2024

There’s an emergency at the Bull, and Brad puts his foot down.

As the fashion show draws nearer Mia is starting to unravel under the stress. In the village shop while collecting boxes she unintentionally offends Susan, implying that Neil wouldn’t be suitable as her senior male model. She’s unable to conceal her anger over Eddie dropping out. Unfortunately, she seems to be offending people left and right, with the Button sisters angry with her for comments she has made about their hair and Chelsea furious about the fallout. Later when Brad is helping her sort through clothes, Mia gets a message saying that Kenton has agreed to be her senior model. This good news doesn’t seem to quiet her nerves, however. And they have an argument when Brad refuses to model for her in his green velvet suit. Brad storms out.

At the Bull, Kenton and Jolene are pleased with how the evening has gone, praising Tracy for her hard work in tidying up the beer garden to make it look inviting. Whilst clearing up at the end of the night, Jolene notices some men with vehicles in the car park. Kenton tells her he saw them earlier but assumed they had taken a wrong turn. Alarmed, Jolene goes to call the police but realises she’s left her phone upstairs. While she’s gone Kenton goes out and yells at the men that they can’t stay there when a large dog breaks loose and attacks him. When Jolene returns she finds him lying in the car park, in agony and covered in blood, with the men having disappeared. Distraught, she calls an ambulance, pleading for them to come quickly.

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