The Archers

I don't think it was Justin because it sounded as though the car was coming at speed from quite a long way off. Justin left the Bull to look for Matt so he would probably have only just pulled out of the car park if he was in his car at all.

What about Tom?

No no it can't be Tom because the Bridge Farm lot have been through too much already. It has to be that dreadful cat, or the taxi driver.
It can't be Brain, what would we do without his exasperation at the antics of Kate. It can't be Tom (see above), it can't be Freddie or Nolly, just because they're silly, young and off their faces on magic mushrooms doesn't mean I want them to be so very bad as to run Matt over, then drive off.
It can't be Nic, it just can't. She's doing her best.
If it's Lillian, she has to get off with it.
Justin wouldn't have yet reached the Green (I hope)
Who was Matt's plus one at the hunt ball to be? Could it have been either Latiffe, Miranda or Matts mysterious business partner.
What was in Matts suitcase.
Could it be that Matt's business partner or some other so far unknown crook has Done for Him.

It could be someone who didn't know it was them. We heard a car stop. Someone walk around a little, get back in the car and drive off. It wouldn't be unreasonable for them to think it was a deer. That wouldn't let them off the hook of course but they may behave very naturally until it occurs to them it was their car.

Tales of a Tiger: Kim Durham on Matt Crawford - contains an audio of just the crash.

Freddy & Nolly are only off their faces in their own minds. I grew up in an area where old people still knew about the hallucinogenic properties of some mushrooms and how to handle & prepare them and we were warned about them as children.
Freddy & Nolly would have been very ill, very quickly if they had just eaten them as they appeared to. I think they just gobbled down some ordinary funghi and persuaded themselves into a state.

Just realised that I missed the relevant episode - no wonder I am a bit puzzled! Just listened to it. Hmm - the Archers is starting to sound like Midsomer Murders crossed with Eastenders!

Was Alistair still at the ball?
Sooner or later someone is going to discover and open Matt's suitcases. Will that be interesting?

Bought my Radio Times for next week today. The Ambridge Diary tells of Roy's turmoil following his shocking discovery. His attempt to do the right thing backfires with potentially life-changing consequences. Wonder what that is all about. Could it be to do with the car crash?

Hope it wasn't Phoebe popping back for a surprise visit.

Well I am a new archers addict!

I have been listening for about a year now and am totally hooked although just picking up the back stories as I go along. I really love (to hate) the character of Matt so I do hope he pulls through. I cringe when he calls Lillian "pusscat" it goes right through me.

Have I missed what's in the suitcases stashed in the pub?

We don’t know what’s in the suitcases but we can have a good guess I expect.

shysal that sounds really scarey - it must be to do with the accident. Perhaps he spots a damaged car?

I haven't thought of reading today's RT. They do an edited summary of the following weeks program.

The SWs are becoming far too "Eastenders."
I can hear it all tonight as my Tuesday choir is half an hour later than Mondays.

Oh dear shysal wish I didn't know that. Just as Roy's life is starting to go well. Can it be something to do with Phoebe? Where was she the night of the accident? Life changing........the mind boggles. Whoops, I said I wasn't going to listen to TA anymore!

I do hope it isn't to do with Lexi - I've only just started listening regularly again after a few very silly busy months. Isn't Roy starting a relationship with Lexi? If I've got this wrong, please let me know

No - you are right. Roy and Lexi are on the brink!

Well could it be James? Didn't he have an altercation with Matt when they last met. There's this new character Philip. And how about Adam who was driving home and that's just across The Green. We know he punched Matt! Or could it be Rex the only taxi driver we know in Ambridge; he could have been driving fast back from Scotland to pick up Matt. Or what about Anisha????? She has previous experience of driving fast?

We are on tenterhooks until all is revealed next week. Matt is in the cast next week, but of course it could be one of his voice messages

My moneys on Adam

I’ve missed the odd episode. Who’s Phillip?

"Harrison imparts shocking news and Jolene's fears are confirmed".....so says the write up for a day next week. There are so many suspects and lots of speculation!

Harrison will never work this out.
He hasn't found the bunting yet!

Its great to have a real mystery in Ambridge, with a cast of suspects and a villain who didn't meet his end. Lillian is one of those dreadful women who love a villain isn't she, in her case, a stream of villains. She really should go on a consciousness raising course, learn to meditate - I know, she could set herself up in a Yurt with Kate. No, that wouldn't work would it, they'd lead each other astray big time.
Matt may well have been right as he left the voicemail telling Pusscat she loves the excitement, the intrigue etc.

The hit and run driver can't be an Ambridge regular, surely!

I think we have to find out who has a big contract coming up and wants some time out of TA

Phillip could be the ghost of David Archers father. He could soon be walking the battlements of Brookfield.

Oooooh! Another suspect. ...Josh.
