Loxfest is over. Locket-gate is upon us. Discuss Mowgli, Rob's new secret and of course the new road here with other Archers fans.

New thread for hopefully an exciting Sunday episode. Poor Hayley.

RichJohn that is, and his natural affinity with cows.

Would be funny if the pigs hated him 'grunt, that's a cowman, not to be trusted, sit on his foot, oink'

There was no reason why David couldn't have delivered the calf himself with calving ropes and a machine, most she would have done is try and keep the cow calm

HairdoSue and Clary sounded like clucking hens when they were laughing about the two randy peas in a pod.

Is it just me, or has Ambridge suddenly woken up to sex?

RichJohn is not just a cowman, oh no! He's a natural stockman.

That's so going to make Tom feel better isn't it? The mini-John back in the nest? That's the end of him!

And there's no way Rotaboy could call Usha! He was part of the racist gang! He's up shit creek without a paddle. I did love Freddie having a go. Fabulous.

obys - I've never really liked Will. Possibly because he is terribly dull :o

Oh yes - he will have to try and find the number of another solicitor. Tough.

I've always thought pigs are better judges of character

As for sex - did you bleach the Sid/jolene shower scene from your mind?

Sharon's in it next week

Just sayin'

Yes I had BYOS
It is just me then

Hayley will find out when Roy gets the boot

Was it really necessary to mention the shower scene? Really?!

I thought spoilers weren't allowed!!!

Although richjohn being here for the long term is a given but you can't do these things without a lot of angst

Roy getting the boot will make the cogs all fall into place for Hayley I think. Either that or she will confront liz about the sacking and the scales will fall from her eyes

I think Roy has a fair case - he can point to the success of loxfest to show the only reason he got the boot was because his boss wanted no strings sex. If he loses his job and family - what has he got to lose?

Sorry oddfod!!

Would you rather the image of Ruth and the cowman, or Brian and siobhan?

I was just trying to think of a good example!!!

Agree, can we not have spoilers please?

:o They all made me a bit queasy but the shower scene was the worst. I think it's because of my mental image of Sid. He always looked a bit like Brucie in my head

I always imagined him more rotund

(Rushes out to get more mind bleach!!)

Is it a spoiler when it's in the RT?

When Gollum is booted, surely Hayley will also go? Don't they both work at Lowerandlowerloxley?

Clearly Pat and Groanie are every bit as green as they are cabbage looking. Johnnie is clearly the new Pip when it comes to predatory teens. He ticked every box as soon as he got off the flipping bus. Someone read a Rough Guide to Misunderstood Adolescents and constructed the character from the chapter headings.
Please, please a quick goring. It's horrible to think of how forgiving Pat will be when he mugs Peggy for her handbag and starts his own small business in the polytunnels. Bridgefarm weeeeeed.

I think any mention of future stories is banned as this thread is for discussion and speculation

Richjohn was brought up in a city so of course he is a drug dealer. That's where ed will get his supply now as Wayne only sells the soft stuff.

Oh I am enjoying RichJohn & a little bit of angst-free time at Bridge Farm

I suppose it might end in tears but it doesn't have to

I don't like spoilers, including RT or next week's cast listing. I don't even like Continuity giving us clues although I made an exception for "it's Friday night at Blossom Hill Cottage ..."

I love it when Continuity joins the audience in frustration at Helen's blindness.

"Is it a spoiler when it's in the RT?"

Yes. The RT is easily avoided and many of us indeed avoid it for that very reason.

The One, I love the RT spoilers. Would a way through this be for you to give a link to the RT, clearly labelled SPOILER? Or just drop a huge hint that the RT is worth a look this week - I'd bite!

FWIW I love a spoiler
