Not really as it was so unrealistic! One minute, Alice was turning down the gift of Champagne, the next so drunk on miniatures that Chris deemed her unsafe around the baby.
Great cliffhanger but in real life, everyone would know about the drink problem, they’d struggle through the Christening in an attempt to keep normal life going, the row would happen at home after the event and eventually, with luck,perhaps after years, Alice would reach rock bottom and seek help. Or die. By that stage, close family members would also have suffered.
Back in the world of what now looks like permanent four nights a week radio drama, (BBC still not owning up to this) I thought Emma’s reaction was appalling. Horrible and smug reaction.
On the other hand, if Alice had been honest with everyone, she may have got more sympathy.
