The Archers

I thought Stefan told someone (Adam?) that he wanted to tell him something important but then disappeared. Rob must have been still around as he later insisted that Stefan had gone home (because his mother was ill) but there was no way anyone (except Rob himself?) could contact him. It was about the time that Charlie was sent north too I think.

PS Nfk - My memory is far from perfect. Where are the old episodes available?

Elrel, your memory is my memory, both in your recollection that Stefan told ? Adam he had something important to tell him, only to disappear. My memory is also increasing far from perfect.

That was when Rob was still working for Berrow Farm and Charlie was the manager. Rob needed to get rid of Stefan because he'd seen him blocking the culvert. Can't remember whether he had something to blackmail him over or just paid him off but Stefan left suddenly and Rob told everyone he'd gone back to Poland to deal with a family illness.

Merlot - that sounds about right but Rob insisted that only he could contact him and there seemed doubt whether Stefan really went home. At the time we didn't know how ruthless and deranged Rob was.

I thought Stefan came back briefly after that and told Justin everything before going home again.
Do we know when this landfill was dumped and where it came from?

Stefan came back to blackmail Rob. Lilian overheard him upping the blackmail demand and told Justin (we didn't know that at the time) Justin called Rob to a meeting and dragged out the suspense only telling Rob, who was quickly becoming a gibbering wreck, that he knew all about Stefan and the culvert. He then sacked Rob and paid off Stefan.

It's all in Lowfield if you trawl back through the archives.

Merlot - thanks, I must have missed a few! Off to look for Lowfield!

Was Jennifer stoned or merely “tired and emotional” in last night’s episode?
Listen again at lunchtime (if I can cope with the high drama).

After the programme on Friday the announcer said Brian wouldn't be the first to go to prison. I'm assuming she meant Helen, or was there something way back.

Susan for hiding her brother from the law!

What is going on in the Archers? Will Roy get Lexi pregnant before the surrogacy ? Or is this just too predictable? Who is the new man who is obviously going to get together with Kirsty?

Uncle Tom - well on remand - i remember back in the day when he used to introduce the omnibus edition and for several weeks he had to do it from prison. And did Nelson ever end up inside? He was certainly dodgy

The drums of chemicals on Brian's land, do you think it was an act of revenge by Rob before he left.

Remember, the land was owned by Justion prior to Brian purchasing it and Justin gave Rob the heave ho. Just a thought.

I'd forgotten that Justin owned the land previously and it is nearer the dairy so I wonder why Brian is taking the rap? There is another new editor so it could all change as they all want to stamp their mark. Watch this space.

Rob can't have had anything to do with it because the contamination was traced to an old pond on Home Farm land which was filled in decades ago using stuff dumped by some builders.

Jennifer mistakenly thought it was on land sold to them by Justin but had to eat humble pie when it turned out she was mistaken.

Who is this new character Philip? I think I must have missed something. Everyone seems to know him.

Isn't Philip the builder who was doing some work at the stables?

Good thing you're on the ball Merlot.

Whoever he is, tonight "Philip makes a move" - wonder if it's on Kirsty?

Well said, Ruth!

About time.

Aah - poor Pip!

What a worm Justin is.

I can't help it. I am so pleased Neil has been offered the job!

£55k!! - Susan will be like a dog with 2 dicks!!

. Haven't heard that expression before, luckygirl!

Me neither and as Susan, although on cloud nine, will still be in control I am sure Neil will be more like a very well trained dog with two "tails".
