Emma Freud gets the lowdown on new Ambridge lovebirds, Rex Fairbrother and Alice Carter, played by Nick Barber and Hollie Chapman. Andrew Peach joins them to discuss Rex's lengthy career history, his old flames, failed relationships, family feuds, and tricky relationship with his dad Robin and brother Toby. We dig into the archives to uncover Fairbrother fisticuffs in a chicken shed, find out the real reason why Robin Fairbrother's affair with Elizabeth came to an abrupt end in the eighties, and discuss just why Jill Archer took against Rex's family. Emma and Nick also pay tribute to the late Eric Allan, who played Bert Fry for over twenty years, and died recently at the age of 85.
