Don't blame it on a Grundy, don't blame it on Route B, don't blame it on Sean O'C, blame it on the badgers. Discuss The Archers of Prudhoe here.

Love the thread title! Did anyone else notice that the Announcer's bit was actually part of the script. Another illusion shattered, I always assumed the continuity announcers were making them up themselves .

Who were the guests at the ISIHAC recording? Am deeply jealous of you getting to go to that. A long time ago on a parenting website far far away I ran 3 or 4 threads of 'late arrivals' which were good fun.

....actually would anyone be up for Late Arrivals at the Radio 4 ball? We could have it on a separate thread so as not to wreck the hot-lava-flow of the Archers ranting.

Yes I saw that Zero

And the winner of the Guess when the Thread will End competition for the last thread is....

Drum roll...

... She (or he) was a day short but that beat all those who plumped for 5 November...

I am also well over 50. The older generation is growing - if they want numbers they should appeal to us, not youngsters

I don't go on Gransnet because I was an elderly primagravida so don't have GCs yet.
When I do they will be fully exposed to R4!

When you put it in a list Mimsy the changes do look astonishingly ... ambitious.

I know I'm wrong to be excited by his radicalism.

The prize will be winging its way from our corporate sponsors, Damara Capital

delivered by shot girls?

(Listened in my pram so at least half a century here.)

Congratulations!

Ooh, that reminds me, did anyone else spot that BL has also sponsored the fireworks?

Don't forget we also have pc plot

Well done icimoi. I think we can all guess what your prize will be.

Bloody hell its all got a bit lively on this thread.

What do you mean Zero, I don't do stripograms.

anymore

dadadad you are a tease.
I thought Drum roll was the winner's user name!
Well done Icimoi.

... Was thinking of something rather less bracing. That they have too many of.

RocknRoll - just noticed your suggestion of a Late Arrival thread. I'll give it a go if you start one, although I think it's harder than the other ones they sometimes do at the end of ISIHAC, such as X's Film Club.

Johnny and tony scenes nice

David and Eddie scene just stoopid. At least Eddie talks sense though.

Nice to hear a reasonable conversation between ed and will. Was a time they wouldn't have spoke! Maybe we will have a thawing of relations

I am so not liking the thought of Ed in the vicinity of a newbie with a gun.

An accidental shooting of a main character would be a little much given everything else going on.

Given soc's previous body of work I can't imagine we will get any happy storylines though

At least David said Northumberland not Northumbria this time. We ARE helping them with their scripts after all.

Lovely thread title - off to catch up now. This is EPIC - and the end of last thread too.

Now I'm going to be worrying about the precarious future of Jill's bees.... Will there be honey in Northumberland??

Given Ed's ongoing problems with water supply, we are leading slowly up to the next big 'revelation'....

Ps mimsy you and I are the same vintage !

Yes to the water supply revelation.

Yes to the shooting accident. I hope Ed is going to do something heroic and be richly rewarded.

I'm ever hopeful for Ed!
