Orange Is The New Black in Ambridge. Just ask Helen. But will anyone in The Archers ever ask her WHY?

[PseudoBadger]

I reckon this thread will see us through the Euros, both footy and referendum. Await the clunky topical inserts here.

Oh dear.

They're going to need a lottery win.

Believe me, I know BF isn't always straight forward, but come on, this is Helen's second baby!

Hmmm...

Do we think the Grundys will have a visit from the Ambridge Lottery Fairy?

The Mystic Bore Crystal Ball remains murky...

Snap Gruach

Otherwise - who's rich and could buy the place and let them stay on?

Anna? Not if she only does criminal/DV law.

Robin Fairbrother?

Justin probably wouldn't care about Grundys if he decided to buy.

Debbie? (Yes, I live in constant hope.)

Wonder how much Chris and Alice have squirrelled away over the past few years - with two healthy incomes and no rent/mortgage to pay ...

Are Caroliver selling? Are they being written out?

I guess Justin and his big bulldozer are the obvious option. And no, that wasn't a euphemism

Justin! Of course!

Lil has always got on v well with Eddie (did they ever have a thing?). She will prevail upon Justin if the ALF doesn't appear.

I shall write to Steven Moffat and beg him to ensure that there's a Slithereen in every episode of the new Who series. So they won't have time to notice a grand house up for sale in Ambridge ...

Oh god - just had an awful thought...

What if Knob buys it, with a bit of help from the Bank of Brute and Arsula?

Predict a dead Joe found slumped amongst the ferrets on the evening before the eviction.

Justin wouldn't do that for lil

I agree Joe probably won't be sleeping under any other roof in this particular lifetime.

John Archer went to Brymore. My sister was a Ag coll with someone who'd been at Brymore, and said they used to call his name for registration.

Justin wouldn't care about the Grundys if he bought Grange Farm, but Lilian might, if she's well enough in with him at that point.

I noticed that CA said that the editor is Sean O'Connor. So when is SODOFF?!

Surely there will be an announcement when they've got a new editor?

Oh do FUCK OFF SOC!

And yes, Grundy death...maybe to tie in with end of Summer?

Helen's little BF scene was nice. I know it's her second, but as we keep being reminded, there is a difficult relationship with this child. It must be so difficult for her.

I thought the worsening crackinthe wallwas significant. Sink hole?

small watch out piggies!

Lil and Eddie did have a 'thing' going in the 80s (I think). I remember lots of laughing. It wasn't a relationship in any way

Who asked about Lizzie being expelled? She ran away from boarding school. Probably 'withdrawn' before they got a chance to kick her out

I thought the worsening crack in the wall was significant. Sink hole?

Breach in the space/time continuum Small ...

So Helen is really Prizoner Zero? :o

Who put a perception filter over the whole village?

Who was able to morph into all the more comatose and acquiescent villagers?

Poor Helen was just the primary victim of Prisoner Zero.

Just hope Anna is from the Atraxi ...

oliver and caroline sounded wrong. it was all so one dimensional and flat somehow.
