Elves have needs too - will there be a pheasants' revolt? Discuss The Archers here

[PseudoBadger]

I've just browsed Lowfield for the first time - they really don't like Pat do they!

Could someone Twit Keri to ask him about culvertgate and the mass amnesia that has struck Ambridge?

Sid (at least, his actor) has died.

TA news here.

Actor photo (Sid/Jolene included.)

So it was JD who mentioned Pawel? Oh dear, i have a great fear the only gays in the village (apart form Kirsty and Helen of course - though technically H isn't IN the village) will have a huge bust up before they can speak up for Helen and reduce Knob's reputation to nothing.

Can you imagine Knob sitting in BHC (with his baag - and his mother) cooking up his revenge on ever Archer in the village because of Johnny's very public snubbing of him? It isn't going to end well.

I had a theory a few months ago - I shared with DH, not on here I think- at the time of the non-walking incident - that all the Yorkshiremen in the village would gang up against Knob for cheating at cricket. So I need to check - apart from the Vicar and Johnny is PC Plot also a y'man? I suspect he's from tother side of Pennines but he might do?

Firstly, fuck off Jenny! What happened to family loyalty? Sheesh.
RIP Sid. I think they'll carry on with having a silent chef, which tbf worked for years.

No, it was Ian. A propos of nothing at all, but I think Rob mentioned Pawel, didn't he?

PC Plot is a red rose man, but yes, a Northern conspiracy (GOT geeky mention there ) would be great!

What is JD up to in mentioning Pawel anyway? is she trying to cause trouble in her son's marriage? The old JD of all peopel would have been the mistress of ignoring such transgressions.

Ian's been allowed out of the kitchen to actually talk?? I will LA tonight then - my interest is piqued now.

And thank you muchly R4 for the very thorough summary.

Right, i see, x-ed there. So it's Ian that's been mulling things over. Oh dear.

Why the talk of Sid? I am finding Kenton such a gormless pillock just now. I wonder what Jolene sees in him.

At least Ian has remembered that he punched Rob and had plenty of provocation so he has some idea that Helen was driven to it. He and Adam both recalling the bad things Rob did is a good sign.

Robot-Jenny (nothing like the real one) betrayed Adam to Rob. Ages ago.

Rob told Ian - who pretended he already knew (perhaps he actually did), just before the Ian/Adam wedding.

Ian today probably just took the opportunity of the pickers arriving to do a little digging by questioning Adam.

Wow, the comments on this:

filled up quickly!

Place marking [bull]

Rob also told Ian about Adam snogging Charlie in the shrubbery and dropped Helen in it with Ian who believed she had betrayed him by gossiping about it. Rob called it 'common knowledge' even though she'd told no one but him.
Ian's piecing it together perhaps.

[fgs]

She was drunk and Knob was wheedling.

I see now about Sid's actor dying. I'm a bit dim too. Possibly due to spending so much time in Ambridge!!

She being JD.

My sympathy, LadyStark - i've given up - largely - on emoticons. All the clicking and dragging, such a drag.

LadyStark, I think it's archers in the square brackets.

Testing:

Yay, it works!

Hooray!
Loved jonny's revolt st the cricket, and has Helen registered little jack yet?

I do like Ian.

And where exactly is Shula? In retreat wrestling with her conscience re the sab?

Oo-er, looks like someone's hit a sore spot for Keri. From his Twitter feed:

@keridavies @BBCTheArchers You should be ashamed. How many DA victims and survivors have you traumatised? I know it isn't just me.

(KD): @NormaLeila @BBCTheArchers I’m very sorry. But other victims have been moved to seek help having heard the story.

@keridavies @BBCTheArchers And how many are now too scared to try to leave? You and I won't agree on the answer.

@debicing @keridavies @BBCTheArchers ...and be trying to raise awareness but has cynically used SL. Don't care abt effect on DA victims.

KD: @NormaLeila @debicing @BBCTheArchers You have no way of telling what we care and how we feel. Please withdraw that statement.

Ouch!

Goodness me. Not the sweetest return from his hols for KD.
