I'm starting this new thread as apparently our other one was over a year old!! shock

We'll have to do more gossiping to prevent this happening again.

Here's a link to the old one.

What an episode. No spoilers!

merlotgran Mon 09-Mar-20 19:18:29

Oh No!

They can't kill off Lynda! shock

Newquay Mon 09-Mar-20 19:18:38

Whew! What an episode!!

Scribbles Mon 09-Mar-20 19:20:03

Phew! It's a long time since I've been gripped like that!

LullyDully Mon 09-Mar-20 19:43:54

No, not bad news for Robert, please.

shysal Mon 09-Mar-20 20:05:15

Ooh er! I would miss Lynda!

Greeneyedgirl Tue 10-Mar-20 11:42:52

I didn't realise how much I liked Lynda til now. I think she may still be clinging on because the continuity announcer would surely not have let the cat out of the bag?

shysal Tue 10-Mar-20 15:52:46

I sneaked a peek into next week's Radio Times in Asda this morning before buying my cheaper TV mag which doesn't include radio. Lynda's name was not included in the cast list, but Gavin and Robert's names were. Of course she may remain unconscious for a while rather than dead!

Oh, not Lindy!shock
La Snell is too valuable a character to Off her!She, and her sniff, will be reorganising the IC Unit in no timegrin

I think Lilian, Joelene and Kenton will be so upset they'll put the Bull's sign back up.

Very good piece by Lillian tonight! Great acting and script writing.

eGJ Thu 12-Mar-20 19:21:45

You got there before me phoenix so good to hear Lilian like that and her humour in the need for them to continue their battles!

I think I am going to move to Ambridge - no coronavirus there, nor any mention of it in the wider world.

merlotgran Sat 14-Mar-20 12:36:27

I suppose blowing up Grey Gables is easier than having to put loads of precautions in place. They won't have to worry about cancelled bookings costing them money because Philip's insurance will cough up.

Presuming he's adequately insured. Otherwise it will be another boring Home Farm scenario.

Is the Laurels (or whatever it's called) in lockdown?

Greeneyedgirl Sat 14-Mar-20 13:43:16

Yes I thought that Luckygirl I don't know how far in advance it's recorded, but no doubt they'll turn it into a public safety broadcast when they catch up. I wonder if Kate will have some daft herbal remedies for the virus. Watch this space.

eGJ Sat 14-Mar-20 19:01:54

I wonder if they will be watching Belgravia tomorrow night and discover a Debbie isn’t in Hungary after all?

phoenix Sat 14-Mar-20 19:42:36

The moonlighting mare!

Scribbles Sun 15-Mar-20 19:51:49

Awwwww! Pass the Kleenex, please.

merlotgran Mon 16-Mar-20 19:36:19

The good residents of Ambridge clearly weren't watching Boris on the News this evening.

'What social isolating?'

Where's my invitation to Kirsty and Philip's wedding party?

MawB Wed 18-Mar-20 10:10:52

I know it is recorded in advance, but where is this year’s West Midlands flooding? Is Debbie affected by the Coronavirus in Hungary and how on earth can Kirsty and Philip still be obsessing about their wedding party?
It is not going to happen .

Greeneyedgirl Wed 18-Mar-20 14:08:04

I suppose if they can't get the cast together to record they will suspend the Archers ? for a while as they are doing with TV series. That will disrupt my routine.
I will really miss regular Radio 4 progs.

eGJ Wed 18-Mar-20 19:48:59

Maw now come on Debbie’s in Belgravia!

They used to put in really topical bits. I can remember a Budget item inserted and Jill said something the night that Diana Princess of Wales died

grumppa Fri 20-Mar-20 19:52:40

Renaming (again) a pub that's shut won't be much of an event.

merlotgran Fri 20-Mar-20 19:55:07

grin They really must keep up.

Will Susan and Neill be the first to test positive?

starbird Sun 22-Mar-20 12:09:42

Just caught the omnibus. Very disappointed in Phil. It will all come out - poor Kirsty I don’t think she’ll forgive him.
