Archers spoilers or Archers spoiled? You decide. Thread the Second

[BoreOfWhabylon]

And so it continues. We still have one long-term prediction from the start of the last thread that has not yet come to pass - the burning down of Lower Loxley.

But there is still time...

It would be great if, given the choice between Toby and Brookfield, Pip chooses Toby and flounces off never to return.

I'm a returner posting on here because psuedo's thread is about to be replaced. Oh and i don't care about spoilers

I heard the film on Sunday and was interested to hear Justin showing his Machiavellian streak. Do we think Lilian will carry on her ,ahem ,'relationship' with a piece of shit like that? Or is she blinded by the gold?

Please can somebody tell me what this film is that I keep seeing mentioned on TA threads?

It's just what some call the omnibus on Sunday mornings Mootsie

Oh sorry Mootsie It's the Sunday morning repeat of the whole last weeks', the Omnibus!!

Looks like they're saving the big 'Rob running amok' storyline (which I'm convinced is coming) for a Christmas treat! Thanks, Gump.

I wonder why Helen has a heavy heart on 7th December? Anisha is presumably the prospective new tenant.

Ursula is on next week's cast list. Enough to send anyone into a deep gloom.

Is the next court hearing next week? I suppose she might come back to support Rob at that. And that might tie up with Helen having a heavy heart. I shall be well pissed off if the hearing results in his access to Jack being increased.

I worried that Kenton's impulse purchase might be Toby's gin but after tonight maybe not. Then again, it's Kenton! Maybe Toby will be indirectly the cause of much trouble for The Bull.

The mind boggles that they can withdraw Henry so quickly despite him having PR yet they might increase jacks contact?

I assume access to Henry is totally off the table now?

Anna but not Carol is in the cast list for the w/c 4 December which probably means it's the family court hearing which is causing Helen to have a heavy heart.

I think you are right about Anisha and BHC, Gasp0. I wonder where that storyline is going?

19 November
Rob slinks to his lair and makes a fresh entry into his Big Boy's Book of Blackmail. He has something on Lilian and he intends to use it pretty quickly. While he rubs his hands together in fiendish glee, Helen and Pat mull over the psychological report on Rob and wonder if it will help their cause.
Rob's poison does its work in other corners of Ambridge, as Adam and Pip get bad news - and the vicar's attempts to de-demonise Rob go badly wrong. The recent information that Rob is a bit of a Deadeye Dick with the shotgun will add to the general unease. Meanwhile, David discovers that Toby is knocking out the moonshine and Eddie tries to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

"Big Boy's Book of Blackmail"

Can we have Weekend's summary every week, if poss?

Thanks Gump! You always come up trumps.

Radio Times
26 November to 2 December

Who knew that rehearsals for Mother Goose could prove to be so salacious? First up, we have Lilian and Justin cast opposite each other – cue a whispered discussion about the arrangement no longer being entirely secret.

We also have Tom and Kirsty as the romantic leads, but their scenes together result in an awkward air descending on the village hall. As they stumble over their lines, Lynda is forced to remind them that their characters are meant to be together.

Elsewhere, the Carter family photo shoot throws up a last-minute problem, Pip and Jill have another showdown, and Brian's desire to boost his legacy could push Home Farm's finances to breaking point.

Writer Paul Brodrick

-------------

David Brown manages to write a whole RT preview without mentioning Rob - but then, as Gasp0 mentioned earlier in the thread, he isn't in the cast list for this week. The Pip/Jill showdown sounds good Go Jill and is this the start of the Ruari/ Home Farm inheritance story? And at least we are back with Kirsty/Tom as I was getting worried about Kirsty/Roy no, no, no

I miss Carol\ Eleanor's voice at the moment shame she's not in it later either.

TOTAL TV GUIDE 26 NOV - 2 DEC 2016

Brian's latest business proposal isn't welcome at Home Farm, and it could push finances to breaking point. If only he could win Debbie over to the cause.

Justin is looking forward to spending Christmas in Ambridge with Lillian. But when it transpires that their 'arrangement' is no longer a secret, Justin reminds Lillian that Miranda must not be embarrassed. Can she reassure him?

The Carter family photoshoot gets off to a tricky start.

Jill has another showdown with Pip when she discovers the truth about Toby's alcohol still.

Rehearsals for Mother Goose hit a snag with Tom and Kirsty playing the romantic leads - could life imitate art?
*
Go Jill!

Indeed, go Jill! Is Pip really that stupid to not realise that running an illicit still is illegal?

I hope this is when David forces her to choose between Toby and Brookfield.

And I presume now that the Justin Fagash romance is out in the open, Knob will have lost his only bit of blackmailing evidence.

When are the Bridge Farm lot going to be told about the application for a name change? And when is the court hearing?

And thanks, Gasp again.

Thanks Gaspode btw I'm over my slight contra temps on the other thread now, I feel much better

More spoilers. There's likely to be a lot of this in next week or so as digiguide and RT accelerate publication to accommodate Christmas schedules.

Thanks, Gump, much appreciated. Oh please, let Pip say she's going to leave and actually do it! That would make my Christmas.

Oh yes! Pip may bugger off.

I bet Josh will be delighted.

Had Pip actually talked to Rex? Or asked Tobee about him at all? For someone who was such a good mate, she has
Dropped him pretty quickly. Then again, she is a self obsessed moron.
