The Archers

It's November next week so keep listening out for Lizzie Pargetter to mention "mulled wine and mince pies" because that's the official signal for Ambridge to begin the countdown to Christmas!

I do hope Neil has something serious but manageable, like type 2 diabetes. The village and especially his family need him

I have just read of the death of June Spencer, who played Peggy Wooley, at the age of 105. I wonder how she will be written out.

I watched the tribute to her on the News yesterday and thought how amazing she looked for such a great age.

I expect the scriptwriters will wait a while then have Peggy die peacefully at the Laurels. She was my least favourite character and June Spencer played her brilliantly in the way she could switch from kindly granny and pillar of the community to controlling and often selfish matriarch, using her money to call people to heel.

RIP June Spencer.

Oh! I've been out of touch with news for a couple of days so I hadn't heard about June Spencer until now.
I agree with everything Merlot said about the Peggy chatacter and June Spencer brought her brilliantly to life.
Rest in peace.

Justin is ridiculous at the moment.
Who IS he now???

I know the BBC are celebrating Scam Week, but that episode of The Archers is the silliest ever😗

I only heard it this evening. Until I heard Kate's voice, I was sitting mystified, assuming that Alexa was somehow playing out the wrong programme!

Two episodes of this irrelevant subplot. Why?

As if one scam wasn't enough the writers had to double down on it.

By the end of the week, every family in Ambridge will be invaded by scammed tourists thinking they’ve booked accommodation!

It is getting worse. Hope we are back to “normal “ soon!

Please let it be over. 😭

Welcome to Ambridge, Joel!

Sorry Kate54 he’s not in next week’s cast !

And regarding the repeated holiday cottage scams...

2000 people visited Borsetshire Breaks website after Sunday
Night’s episode. The BBC failed to buy the site so a listener did. www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/bbc-caught-in-embarrassing-gaffe-archers-scam-awareness/

Well, that's the token nod to Thanksgiving done, including the "Pompkin Poy."
Next stop, Ambridge breaks out the bunting, the hog roast and the root beer to celebrate President Trump's inauguration.......whoopee!

So…. if we should happen to come home from work, or a walk, and find ourselves unexpectedly playing host to some scammed holiday makers, we’ll know how to react after this week’s episodes won’t we - make them welcome, move out and find ourselves a nearby yurt or barn to sleep in, and leave them to enjoy everything our home and community has to offer. All with good grace.

It’ll all be forgotten next week! None of the visitors appears next week!

Thank goodness for that!

Yes, and you will all end up being The Best Of Chums For Life.

Realistic, innit?

I have just caught up on the omnibus. What a ridiculous storyline! I hope it has really come to an end!

Just heard today's omnibus. Is there an affair on the cards for Ed and Fallon?
