Fallon throws caution to the wind, while Harrison struggles to let go.

Alan and Harrison meet in the church for private prayers and meditation for Harrison to think about his loss.  Before they start Alan checks that this time Fallon knows what he’s doing, but Harrison hasn’t told her because it always leads to a row.  He wants these prayers to be unspoiled.  Afterwards Harrison feels more at peace with everything, and Alan says he’ll remember both Harrison and Fallon in his prayers.  But he reminds Harrison that he ought to let Fallon know what he was doing and why.

Fallon’s out on the town with Kirsty, celebrating her birthday early.  She’s told Harrison that she’s staying at Kirsty’s and watching a film.  Fallon just wants a night away from all the recent angst with Harrison.  They agree not to talk about anything work or man-related.  As the evening goes on Fallon gets tipsy and tells Kirsty she bumped into Lily, Paul and Josh in the bar.  Paul’s there trying to take his mind off his relationship troubles with Etienne.  Fallon’s agreed to go on to a club with them afterwards, commenting that it’s good to have mates – she’s glad she’s got Kirsty.  As the evening progresses Fallon gets drunker, but Kirsty stays with her.   When Fallon opens up about how she feels that people are trying to control her personal life, Kirsty counsels that sometimes it’s not about control. There are people out there who love her.  Fallon adds that there’s also fun out there as well as worries, so she’s going to dance the night away!

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