The Archers - A podcast by BBC Radio 4

Categorie:

Ed may not be fussed about his upcoming fortieth birthday, but he and Emma agree they have to do something to help George. What he needs most are good character references. They try asking Oliver, but he’s distracted and goes, leaving Emma feeling he’s deliberately snubbed them. Later though, following an impassioned speech from Ed about his own troubled youth, Oliver agrees to help. Oliver subsequently reads out the reference he’s written, admitting there were some things he couldn’t ignore. Ed and Emma think he’s been very fair though and are delighted. But Emma knows one good reference won’t be enough - they need more. Jolene’s put out to see that Kenton’s already chalking up ‘Kenton’s Award-Winning Apple and Cheese Pie’ on their board at the Bull and teases Kenton about Lynda making him feel like a suspect over the collapsed table. Harrison turns up to collect some cricketing memorabilia for the Cricket Club dinner being held at Brookfield on Friday, to celebrate winning promotion. Kenton will be running the bar and Harrison offers a hand moving barrels. They talk about Fallon falling out with Emma after she covered for George, before Harrison admits he’s not been himself at work recently. All this anger inside is threatening to get the better of him and he’s not even sure he should be a police officer anymore. Lynda arrives at The Bull to question disgruntled Jolene about the mystery of the collapsing table, before Kenton tells Harrison that if he’s seriously thinking about quitting the police he needs to talk to Fallon first – she’d want to know.
