BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 22/02/2024

David swallows his pride, and Fallon thinks on her feet.

David and Elizabeth inspect the Bull car park lighting and David insists he can do the rewiring job - no need to call in Pete the electrician. Elizabeth gets Vince to help reluctant David, and after some small talk David thanks Vince for all his support for Kenton and Jolene - but he can’t forgive Vince for how he treated Ben and Chelsea. Vince is still sorry for how he lashed out at Ben. As they turn back to the job in hand, the out of depth pair agree to call in Pete the expert. 

Harry and Alice spot Harrison and Harry confidently calls him over. Harry is open about bumping into Harrison in the pub last night, creating his own version of events for Alice. Bemused Harrison excuses himself when Harry mentions he’s taking Alice and Martha to Carlisle on a road trip that evening. 

Harrison confides in Fallon that he knows things about Harry, but can’t say what. When she pushes, Fallon’s horrified to learn from Harrison that Harry has a drink problem and a history of drink-driving, and Alice doesn’t know. Warning Alice could risk Harrison’s career, but he feels he has to. Fallon suggests she goes to see Alice. Fallon cooks up a story for Alice about being nervous at home alone with Harrison on nights, and Alice immediately let’s Fallon stay over, telling Harry she can’t join him on his drive to Carlisle. He understands. Gathering her things back at home, Fallon and Harrison know that when Harry gets back from his trip, they are going to have to do something about the situation.

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