Archers Addicts.

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

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

Alexander after Lexical. . Xander for short.

Jenny is horrified. Cue the next big storyline.

Stupid phone. Lexi

Oh yes, what was Jennifer hoping for? Brian?

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.

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?

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

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.

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!

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

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

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 ?

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!

There should have been no music!

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.

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

The bit with Ruiari and Elizabeth was touching ?

what Eddy said was very touching.

What a lovely way for Eddie to say goodbye to his dad. So very moving.

Eddie's goodbye to Joe was beautifully handled.
It must be very difficult once an actor has died to work it into the script but this was done sensitively

What a soliloquy. I have just heard it driving home and it was hard not to concentrate more on the emotions Eddie produced than the road. And then how William and Ed responded - excellent

I missed the beginning! Was there music?

I’m glad I wasn’t driving home- I was in bits. How silly can you get

No Maw not silly. I needed so many tissues!
