The Archers

Clive chats affably with Joy in the shop – he’s all charm as he ponders whether to buy chocolate or ciggies. He reveals he used to be local but doesn’t give details. Clive decides to try some real ale and lager. As he’s selecting crisps, Kate comes into the shop. She recognises Clive. He doesn't recognise her, but she tells Joy about Clive robbing the shop, holding a gun to her face and calling her a bitch. A man can change, says Clive. He tells her he does yoga and a visit to Spiritual Home might be healing. Joy tells him to leave, she won’t serve him. A furious Clive shouts at them as he leaves the shop. Kate is shaken, but they agree they were both amazing for standing up to him.

Harrison is cooking chilli tofu for Fallon and they chat about her plans for a meat and dairy free café at the EV charging station. They relax with wine and chat about the day. Fallon tells Harrison he’s handsome and they need a romantic, passionate holiday. Harrison is momentarily taken aback. But Fallon doesn’t want to carry on the way they have been. Later, they discuss where they will go for their romantic trip and agree to give it some thought. Harrison makes her laugh and says they might just make it. Fallon says she never, ever thought they might split up, but Harrison confesses it crossed his mind. But, he says, he never wanted to.
