Archers Addicts.

what Eddy said was very touching.

The bit with Ruiari and Elizabeth was touching ?

Yes, silence would have been more appropriate and also more effective.

Well handled, or an anti climax? (Bearing in mind that we all knew what was happening, but some listeners might not)

But, as others have said, at least Joe died at Home Farm, and saw the cider press in action.

As mentioned previously, I hope the funeral will involve Joe's coffin on the trap, pulled by Bartleby.

I think it's what he would have wanted.

There should have been no music!

merlot you and me both 're Elizabeth, but tbh I almost gave up on her intelligence when (quite some time ago) she said that Lily was sending out the "invites" Invite is something you do, you send out "invitations", as evry fule nose.

eCJ bracing myself!

I was shouting, 'Just swap the screws, Elizabeth. Yours doesn't need to be in working order!!'

At least Joe will die at Grange Farm ?

Tonight’s the night; I hope they get the cider press working with its new screw first.

Hasn't that floor in No 1 The Green dried out yet?

shysal we saw that too, hopefully it will be a peaceful, non dramatic end.

Must say, the writers have taken their time, the actor died back in April, 6 months ago!

I see from my Radio Times that Joe Grundy is at last going to die this week. The family is having a tough time at the moment.

He is hanging on in there.......

Lexi's part tonight seemed to indicate that there would be no issues on that front, but time will tell!!

But to return to another point, when will Joe shuffle off this mortal coil?

Jenny is right though. The more Lexi is involved, like going to register the birth, the more she is likely to bond and want to keep it.

Oh yes, what was Jennifer hoping for? Brian?

Stupid phone. Lexi

Alexander after Lexical. . Xander for short.

Jenny is horrified. Cue the next big storyline.

I’ve been away and missed a couple, what have they called him?

I guessed the name! Also guessed Jennifer's reaction!

Rather telling, that throwaway remark of Adams "Oh that was mum on the phone again"

(bold type mine, to emphasise, not Adam stressing the word!)

Overbearing woman but so sure she's right! If she started a GN thread about being excluded I wonder how much sympathy she'd get!

Oooh, nasty, interfering Jennifer last night!

You are going to be a snitch Freddy? Did you learn nothing in prison????

I'd been an Archers listener since God was in short trousers but I stopped listening during the Helen & Rob storyline. Too much like my first marriage (although thankfully in my case without the complication of a baby). I think it was great they did it and as usual a slowly building storyline rather than flash bang short sensational storyline but still too much for me to cope with. Perhaps I'll wean myself back slowly.

Nice one, Kate! What better way to stick one on bossy old Peggy than force her to spend an evening with Joy Whatsername.
