In the latest episode of BBC Radio 4's The Archers, Brian Aldridge's family confronts growing doubts that he is developing dementia, with daughter Alice defending him while Debbie and son Adam clash over his care. Brian also proposes hosting pickers' caravans at Home Farm, suggesting a field to store unoccupied caravans to overwinter and prompting questions about safety and suitability. The caravan plan would need planning permission and is unlikely to be resolved in less than three months. The dispute over Brian's capacity and the caravan scheme puts control of Home Farm and decisions about eldercare and seasonal accommodation at the heart of the drama.
