It’s all gone mad. The George party will be a disaster. I’m sure Will’s place can’t be big enough for everyone Amber’s invited, even if they wanted to come. I suspect he’ll want filter back on to village life quietly, and keep his head down…. #TheArchers

Adam - been farming for 40 years, experienced in all aspects of farm management
Ruari - recent grad with business degree, doesn’t much like his city job, never expressed much enthusiasm for farming, experience as a gigolo
Brian - ‘thank goodness Ruari is back to save the day’ #TheArchers

I don’t think he can - isn’t it already divided up into shares? #TheArchers

It wasn’t a chemical ‘spill’ though was it? It was a dump #TheArchers

I’m so bored with Brian and Justin #TheArchers

Exactly - and Martha is also their grandchild, and they have a responsibility to her too #TheArchers

Good point. He is probably is playing his actual age, but just sounds so shaky these days. #TheArchers

He’s sounding very doddery. So many of the actors are older in real life than they’re meant to be #TheArchers

He used to work with the bride, apparently #TheArchers

Why was the flower and produce show at Grey Gables again? Why would wedding guests think there’d be a buffet of cakes before a wedding meal? Why was no one around to tell them otherwise? It’s all mad. #TheArchers

What’s he going to do if not manage the farm, I wonder? It’s all very strange. He’s still talking as though he’s interim, but he’s left Bridge Farm now #TheArchers

It’s probably good that Rosieeee is a bit nervous of the dog, to be honest. Might stop her trying to eat it. #TheArchers

I don’t miss him at all, either #theArchers

I’m surprised that no one reminds Amber that Susan and Neil also love their granddaughter Martha, and had a responsibility there as well. They couldn’t allow Alice to be wrongly punished for George’s actions. #TheArchers

I don’t think she was 😬

How on earth is Adam tolerating this from Pat? #TheArchers

I’ve never understood the whole situation of Adam working at Bridge Farm. He’s experienced as a manager, and a share holder in Home Farm. I know there was the issue of the fallout with Brian, but asking Pat for an afternoon off is embarrassing #TheArchers

It was his wife. Sick of his constantly going on about his days in Dross and playing their terrible three tunes, she poisons his morning kefir. Now she wants the other band members in a lake. I’m thinking crocodile release. #TheArchers

Plus we now know of his interest in guns. #TheArchers

So many questions. And how does she work in the dairy, manage the retail aspect of the shop, plus all the financial aspects of the post office, all part time?

Very little is made of Susan’s role as postmistress. Surely there are all sorts of technical and legal issues that need taking into account with that aspect of the shop? Or have I missed something? #TheArchers

I don’t think we did. There was mention of a donation to a dementia charity but no indication as to how much, or whether that was everything or not. All very strange, and I can’t believe they’re all being so blasé about it. #TheArchers

‘Acquaintances’ sounds delightfully Jane Austen.

Me neither. Posh blokes killing things, I think

Yes - I’d put him more down as a Horse and Hounds fella #TheArchers

Bizarre isn’t it? Just subscribe direct. Plus I can’t recall Oliver ever mentioning shooting before. #TheArchers

Amber: ‘Guess what - Lower Loxley is fabulous, and you’ll never believe it but they have a cancellation for the week after George is released. We’d love to take you up on your offer - can you send the £25k direct to Elizabeth please?’ #TheArchers

I feel I’ve missed Lily graduating, and any mention of Australia until tonight. Is it just me? #TheArchers
