The Archers

Yes, waiting for Harrisons reaction with interest - he had demonised Alice so much - except as a policeman he surely can't talk about it except for Fallon.

Well, we heard Harrison’s reaction this evening! He will lose his job if he carries on like this.
Alice’s behaviour on the other hand is bordering on saintly.

I must admit I was shocked at his reaction! He does risk losing his job... there were no witnesses.....no idea what George will do...

Well that was am episode and a half! And will Harrison’s outburst come to light?

I think Will and Emma will report Harrison because they’re in so deep they’ll clutch at any straw.

The twists and turns are making it a brilliant storyline.

I agree, its excellent. I am waiting for further ramifications with regard to Ed and Emma over telling Will rather than Ed.
I loathe Harrison. Fallon should run as far away as possible.

I keep wondering just what was the point of Uncle Cloive's flying visit to Ambridge - he dropped in for a few episodes and then dropped out again. All he really did was ruffle a few feathers and then push off again.
And as for all that yoga and wellbeing tripe he kept droning on about...........

It is a great storyline. The ways that events are unfolding and affecting so many characters in different ways.

I think it will rebound on Harrison but Emma and Will were very wrong to keep it to themselves.

Clive could be in trouble if it comes out that he was also assisting George as well as blackmailing Emma and Will. With his record he could end up back inside.

I think its possible he was a sort of plot device to

bring things to a head

and remind us all of the family's past - especially the aspect of "sheltering a criminal"?

I think you are spot on Wyllow. You’re not one of the script writers are you 🙂?
Thing is, when you are used to the formula you can spot how things will unfold, and it’s not a surprise often.

I was in Birmingham last week and went past The Mailbox studios where The Archers was made. Amazing a rural drama is made in such an urban location next to a flyover.

I once went on a tour with talks from producer and scriptwriter, a most enjoyable and informative afternoon. We even got to experience some of the sounds effects - walking on different surfaces, and a device with many variations of sounds such as dogs’ barks.
Would a Gransnet trip to Ambridge be possible, I wonder!!

Is Harvey Nicks still there too Cumbrianmale56?

NotSpaghetti

Is Harvey Nicks still there too Cumbrianmale56?

Yes it's on the ground floor and the BBC uses the upper floors for The Archers, Midlands Today and whatever else they make in Birmingham these days.

Either the characters are muttering and mumbling to themselves or a row erupts and they all begin screaming and going for each others throats.
It's going exactly the same way as the rest of the soaps. Unfortunately.

Well, Emma and Will are not to be prosecuted, which on balance I am glad about, because really of the wider effects on several families and conflict in the village. Not the same as Susan harbouring/sheltering a violent criminal, Clive.

We now have Ed trying to think up a plot to ameliorate a prosecution on George, what will he get up to?

Wyllow3 we know Will isn't being prosecuted but is Emma?

Well Will has had a letter, but Emma hasn’t …. not yet …..

Will have to wait until 7 tonight to find out.

True, Will could have assumed - unless he opened her letter.

She may not have had a letter yet

This storyline will run and run and run........

I expect Eddie will think up a ridiculous way to 'help' George, which will backfire and make matters worse for him.

Thank goodness the Flower and Produce show is done and dusted. It gets sillier every year.
