The Archers

Did anyone hear Brian confess except to Jenny Darling?

I missed Brian's confession too.

I feel angry with the BBC for putting listeners and viewers through an emotional wringer so they can flog their 'awareness' message.

Enough!!!!

Me too, when was that? Or was tonight's conversation with Jenny our reveal?

Almost wish I hadn't watched Call the Midwife this evening. No details as I don't want to let loose a SPOILER ...

And now we have septicaemia on Call the Midwife. Do I detect a BBC campaign?

I must have missed it too!

When did Brian admit to knowing about the pollution and being complicit in that possibility? Another episode I guess I must have missed.

I was upset. I know it is not for real but as they say S* happens. Terminal illness, sudden accidents. Farming itself is quite dangerous accident wise.

Phoenix, sometimes the story - in this case the scratch - seems to make more sense when I listen to the longer version. I find it can be easier to miss things listening to the episode to episode ones.

I just wish I hadn't heard TA last night. I was going for an uncomfortable medical procedure today, and all I could think of was ? sepsis!

I wonder if it will play out better if you listen to the omnibus addition?

Sad that it was such a young character killed off but realistic as sepsis is such a killer + awareness is growing about it .
Interesting to see how Will copes. Will need support from his family + others which he will find hard to accept. As someone else said the Grundy family are a close knit group (despite Will + Ed falling out( + will come through for him.
Maybe NICs ex partner will make an appearance.

This storyline was a big shock and as far as I know was kept very quiet. Wasn't aware of any hints anyway.

Me too, Moocow! I woke up this morning wondering if it was all a bad dream! It’s so mean to do that to poor Will!

Such a shock and not what i would have chosen to listen to in the early hours during a bad sleep disturbed night. Reminding myself it's fiction to help get over the shock and upset feeling.

What a shock! If it makes us all the more alert to "just a cut or scratch" so much the better.

He did, Lazigirl. Not something you want to hear when you're hanging on by a thread.

Nice that the SWs made Eddie the calm and sensible one for a change.

Thanks merlot - I think I did miss that episode.

Did I hear right Joe saying to Nik, you're bound to be scared between this place and the next, or something similar?

Thanks Merlot. That's very comprehensive. I am just going to see if Mumsnet spoilers has any ideas

This explains the connection between Joe and the cut on Nic's arm

Thanks merlot. I didn't know about the facebook page. That's how I heard it but you could be right about Matt, it just hadn't occurred to me. She has been behaving out of character recently and that would definitely explain it.

I also felt v surprised she went downhill so quickly -as an otherwise healthy young woman I mean.
Paw had several tangles with biliary sepsis but was in his 60’s, dodgy heart valve, compromised immune system kidney and liver problems and yet fought it off on several occasions with IV anti-b’s.
Yes it is or can be lethal, but this was extreme.

What is all this about her having run Matt over? - this has come from left field for me. Have I missed an episode?

And just read that Joe might feel guilty about Nic's cut - why would that be?
