Brian Confesses to Jennifer
We delve into The Archers’ archive and revisit the day Brian finally admits to Jennifer about his affair with Siobhan, confessing that he is the father of Siobhan’s baby, Ruairi.
Three weeks of themed programmes from the last two decades reliving key moments from the characters’ lives and the events that make Ambridge unforgettable. This episode forms part of the second week when we take a look at five different events that affect the characters’ relationship to their homes and the land, in ‘There’s No Place Like Home’.
When Brian Aldridge’s step-daughter, Debbie, confronted Brian over his affair with the much younger Siobhan Hathaway, he knew the game was up and that he had to confess to wife Jennifer.
Jennifer’s vision of her contented home life is shattered when she realises that Brian is the father of Siobhan’s baby. The episodes leading up to Brian's admission to Jennifer were heard by 4.75 million listeners.
