Bonus Episode: When Helen met Rob – the story so far
Hear the gripping and disturbing story so far of Helen Archer’s relationship with Rob Titchener. The story made national headlines at its peak in 2016. Narrated by Annabelle Dowler
In April 2016 Helen Archer was arrested for stabbing her husband Rob Titchener during a row. One of the most closely followed trials in British radio drama history saw calls to domestic abuse helplines increase by 17%. This bonus catch-up edition charts the romance and the emerging coercive control, including Rob’s physical abuse of Helen, through to Helen taking her life in her own hands and stabbing Rob, and the insidious impact of Rob’s return on the family at Bridge Farm.
