The Archers

I hope Helen doesn’t swipe right on somebody called Darren.

The Archers gets it right this time! Not sure if it will be repeated in the village, but all,of us know now!

I hadn't heard of it - it was excellent to have it on and perhaps someone repeating the story in the village a couple of times would help. Sometimes "issues" are a bit clumsily dealt with but this was spot on. We've also had online safety for teenagers and again, dealt with quite well.

I do hope the "Ask for Angela" is followed up properly. Good publicity for it

Oh yes. I forgot about Hazel.

Jack Woolley owned Grey Gables don't forget.

But he left the bulk of his estate to Hazel. Peggy got The Lodge and ‘enough to live on.’ 🤔

Yes, still in there, rarely miss an episode. Book marking. Recently been interested in the Rochelle storyline, arrival of Malik family, and of course the drama of The Will. Poor Clarrie....time for Freddie to find The One, what will happen when George gets out...

Jack Woolley owned Grey Gables don't forget.

Peggy appears to have left a small amount (under £300) to each of her family members. Tom, like the rest of us, is wondering what happened to the rest.

I don’t understand how Peggy was so rich in the first place. She sold the Bull and Jack Woolley left her The Lodge and enough to live on but why does everyone assume she has millions stashed away. What have I missed?

Ive+missed the last few weeks and just found out Peggy died, how much money has she left to her family, never understood why she paid care home fees for Chris. Tom made a mistake marrying Natasha, still think he will end up with Kirsty. Helen is a nighmare, hope Rex doesn't end up with her. Rochelle a mess due to Joy treating her daughter so badly. None of the women are much good except Tracy and that is saying something but i still keep listening.

The man who wrote it was on the Archers podcast with Emna Freud.

Has anyone else come across these two spin-off dramas?

"Victory at Ambridge" parts 1 and 2.

Village life during the months leading up to VE Day 1945.

Part 1 is available for a further 21 days, part 2 for 28 days.

I hope so!

Tom and Natasha have already planned how to spend their inheritance, but surely Peggy will leave it all to the cat? 🐈‍⬛

Another puzzling storyline was that Peggy was going to leave The Lodge to Helen then changed her mind because Tony was upset so she changed her will in his favour. She then decided to sell it to pay her fees at The Laurels. 🤔
I never liked the way she used her money to manipulate her family and her standing in the village . I’m glad Alan stood up to her over the stained glass window.

I thought Peggy was paying Auntie Chris’s fees at the Laurels as well as her own or did that come to an end?

Oh, yes. With that and the re-wilding, unless she was richer than Bill Gates, there's not going to be much left.

I hope Chris doesn't have to move out now!

Didn’t Peggy distribute her legacy some time ago? I remember the window for St Stephen’s and I may be wrong the Rewilding as well. May have misremembered it all. Most care homes give people more time to clear rooms and what we have heard from The Laurels over the years this “clear the room in 24 hours”seems quite unlikely how they have behaved before !

Ah, just realised i was confusing Leonard with Lawrence
Sorry!

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought Lawrence was the rather sweet “gentleman” friend of Jill Archer, not the pompous racist ultra-posh lecher who propositioned Lynda Snell?
Or have I got the wrong chap?
I read once that there always has to be a “baddie” /wrong ‘un even if it involves a complete personality change (eg
the youthful Sid Perks, young, George Grundy, Brian Aldridge to name just 3)

Hmmm. I wonder if Peggy's will contains some surprises? There are Tom and Nocasha, in his words, mortgaged up to the hilt and daydreaming about professional landscaping; scrapping Lee's horrible playhouse to replace it with one they prefer before going back to bed.

We all know what a public going-back-to-bed leads to in Ambridge, don't we? I'm getting ready to laugh my head off when the inheritance from Peggy is minuscule; the tea room business is bankrupt and the house is re-possessed.

I bet she leaves all her money to Reform.

Rochelle is the adult personification of the spotty, geeky kid who is forever destined to be on the fringes of 'the gang' - outside looking in.
They so much want to be in the gang that they'll do ANYTHING to please the hierarchy in the hope of an invite.

My neighbour's grandson fell into this trap - a cliquè of Big Boys told him to go shoplifting for them to prove he was "worthy".........he stupidly did and inevitably got caught.

I ask you!

Now await the fall out from the Will!

There’s bound to be something that sets Hilda amongst the pigeons.
