Friday Episodes

I've been listening to The Archers since the late 1950s. In the early days Friday nights always gave you a big finish - because it was the end of the Omnibus edition and so they wanted a hook to keep people on the go. Now there is a Sunday evening programme and the surprises often come then. So tonight not much happened - the appalling Alice continues to wheedle money out of her parents (how spoilt is she?), there are worries about senile Jack and Usha provides (yet again) a shoulder for Ruth to cry on - there's going to be trouble there. David never seems to set foot in Brookfield any longer.
