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...

I think it will go like this:

Phoebe will be sure she has failed. Jennifer will try to be the sensible voice of reason and reassure her that it's normal to think you've done worse than you actually have. Phoebe will not pay much attention and may start talking about Clearing and a year off. Kate may go along with this and Jennifer will be annoyed. Then, come Results Day, it will turn out that Phoebe has passed everything with A*s and she'll be off to Oxford in October.

Josh, meanwhile...

Oh no! Peggy's going to reveal the name to R & U. Rob making 'himself useful' could be him high tailing it to the register office. Please let me be wrong!

I'm looking forward to Peggy revealing name to R&U and taking the pictures. Rob will be incandescent. It's Myson, blah, blah.

Please let Rob NOT get his way this time. I suspect he will try and get custody or take him out of the MBU for a day visit which is why Helen panics.

Or Helen tries to register the birth in the M&B unit only to discover that Gideon has already been registered by Rob.

Have they got a cricket match coming up? I can see Rob turning up and trying his own unique brand of coaching from the sidelines. Or he might be trying to make himself useful in the shop.

I think he's going to offer to score.

With any luck he'll cheat, and we'll hear the sounds of pennies dropping with the rest of the cast.

Oh yes, Johnnie 'Rob lover' Archer - 6 runs, Tom 'Sausage Enforcer' Archer - out for a duck.

I'm just hoping that Feebs doesn't find solace in the arms of Terrible Toby!

That would be incredibly icky, given that Kate had a ONS with Toby!

True but I could imagine that Toby would be quite happy to notch up a mother/ daughter combo.

He would - but I think Phoebe would have more sense.

arse... it is still ages to friday.

does helen only come out on a friday?

RADIO TIMES 4 - 10 JUNE 2016

Helen is opening up about her fears but does so to Tom rather than to her barrister Anna, whose advice she's loath to take.

At Bridge Farm, Pat is hoping that Susan will help her get the farm back to normality.

Susan sees her expertise is needed, but can she manage it?

At the Bull, Jolene's daft strategy of winning Kenton round to the idea of making Wayne permanent hasn't yielded the response she'd hoped for.

At Brookfield Josh has an idea that he hopes will save Toby's bacon.

Lynda is eyeing up the competition she faces when opening her gardens to the public.

After cornering Pip to find out who's helped Bert publicise his horticultural efforts, Lynda seeks aid from Eddie.

TOTAL TV GUIDE 4 - 10JUNE 2016

Helen is reluctant to take Anna's advice.

When Tom visits to meet his new nephew, he encourages his sister to open up about her fears.

Kenton's still not keen about making Wayne permanent at The Bull.

Toby's drone isn't winning him any friends - but Josh has a bright idea.

Time's running out for Lynda, who is opening her home and garden to the public, and needs Eddie's help with vital finishing touches.
Will she give in to his demands?

Joe gets emotional at a Grundy family picnic as he contemplates the move from Grange Farm, but Clarrie insists they have to face facts.

And another massive spoiler that was apparently on the Dumdedum podcast last week - SOC plans to return to TA for the week of the trial in September so he can direct all those episodes.

Correction, DumTeeDum.

oh ffs! The overweening arrogance of the man!

There was always going to be a reason why the new editor wasn't taking up post until September. SOC wanted a clear run. He directed the post stabbing episodes, too, and they were the worst set of episodes ever.

Thanks for the spoilers, Gasp.

Oh well - forewarned is forearmed; with a plentiful supply of alcohol or far too much going on in RL to find time to listen until it's all been dissected on the thread.

But, really?

FFS was also my reaction. How is that going to work if the interim editor doesn't want it to take it in whatever stupid direct SOC envisages for the big trial drama? Or has he sorted it so that one of his stooges is appointed for the interim period?

Pretty certain that's what will have happened Augusta

So we have three months or more of Helen teetering, Pat wailing and Rob swaggering while SOC swans in and out of the office when he feels like it?
FFS. What a mess he's made of it.

The Sterlings are in the cast list for the week ending 17th June!

But why no cast list for week ending 10th?
