Can't find the old thread.

How silly the Matt storyline is - like the Rob storyline it is OTT. No-one is as villainous as Matt is being portrayed - they have just made him a stereotype of evil and it is ridiculous. I have never met anyone who encapsulates evil to this degree.

Stop it now you crazy scriptwriters and give as some storylines that reflect real life.

I think they'll string the whodunit out til Christmas at least.
As for Lilian, she's gone quite bonkers over Matt. Hopefully his case will burst open as he struggles from the hotel, to reveal wads of stolen???.

Thanks, Graces but I'll go with the last sentence, 'We anxiously await the reveal!'

I honestly don't think I'm going to find the time to read the rest of it. shock

GracesGranMK2 Sun 05-Nov-17 13:29:24

I should say thanks to BBC The Archers FB page as that is were I found it.

Who splatted Matt? An academic analysis of the likely perpetrator.

This is very, very clever, funny and adds loads of points we might have forgotten. I would say I cannot believe someone spent so much time putting it together but that is the Ambridge effect at work.

I agree about Ian but wasn't Adam's blowing a gasket to do with the fact that he had punched Matt and if Matt sequels it will put the adoption of a baby in jeopardy

HannahLoisLuke Sat 04-Nov-17 09:26:55

Yes, I'm fed up with Ian's whining too. Why is he so intent on a baby when both he and Adam work such long hours.
Just hope that fizzles out.
I'm more interested in what Matt has in those suitcases!
Any ideas?

merlotgran Fri 03-Nov-17 20:47:14

I nearly switched off tonight. I am so sick of Ian's whining and I don't blame Adam for blowing a gasket. He can't do anything without that whingeing voice wanting to know if he 'wants to talk about it' angry

Working on Star Trek principles it has to be Philip the builder.

You have to spot the person - someone talking and looking like part of the group who beam down but who you have never seen before - they will be the one to die. I think this may be why Philip has been mentioned and a bit of a character formedgrin

merlotgran Thu 02-Nov-17 21:10:55

We mustn't forget the angry taxi driver either. grin

eGJ Thu 02-Nov-17 20:46:31

Nice one AyjayF grin Adam was rather edgy I think tonight!

AyjayF Thu 02-Nov-17 11:38:45

Nic got into a car too didn't she?
Alice has turned into the resident drunk. Maybe it was her + she's forgotten!

The Pantemime season's started early in Ambridge...........

NfkDumpling Thu 02-Nov-17 08:26:54

Bet it turns out to be a passing sales rep in a hurry to get home.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 01-Nov-17 23:11:53

Well spotted eGJ. Now is that a clue or a red herring?

GracesGranMK2 Wed 01-Nov-17 23:06:59

Philip is the builder I think. Something to do with Lillian's bathroom and the hunt kennels ... ... ... possibly confused

merlotgran Wed 01-Nov-17 23:04:28

Pip made the remark about Josh flying past in his new car.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 01-Nov-17 22:59:40

Why Josh, Merlot?

eGJ Wed 01-Nov-17 21:27:28

Did I hear right? BRIAN getting his car fixed?? The plot thickens................... grin

merlotgran Wed 01-Nov-17 19:20:59

Oooooh! Another suspect. ...Josh.

Nelliemoser Wed 01-Nov-17 19:02:53

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

GracesGranMK2 Wed 01-Nov-17 18:56:49

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

Iam64 Wed 01-Nov-17 18:48:24

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!

AyjayF Wed 01-Nov-17 18:44:39

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

chelseababy Wed 01-Nov-17 17:54:33

"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!

NfkDumpling Wed 01-Nov-17 16:41:16

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