First we have the groom making a shock admission about his past to best man Chris...

I reckon Kelvin turns up at the wedding bellowing "It should have been me!!!"

ADarkandStormyKnight · 26/07/2018 22:34

Kelvin might be from the pig unit?

BoreOfWhabylon · 26/07/2018 22:40

I like my idea better Grin

MikeUniformMike · 27/07/2018 11:28

I think Harrison will get cold feet and jilt Fallon at the altar. She'll wail like a banshee from her carriage.
Jazzer will help her pick up the pieces.

Gruach · 29/07/2018 20:34

Ah ... The sad news Shula imparts is apparently separate to the unexpected tragedy. Both in a single week?Confused And it’s the first that the Pargetters have to look on the bright side about? Intriguing ...

I must have missed an episode somewhere though - I have no idea when Fallon and Harrison are supposed to be getting married. (Had assumed they’d be saving in that special account for at least a decade.)

MikeUniformMike · 30/07/2018 13:54

I rather like the idea of Harrison as a strippagram.
I think that the spoilers will turn out to be damp squids [sic].

Gruach · 30/07/2018 19:04

There! You see ...

D0do · 30/07/2018 19:21

That spoiler's got a bit muddled, I think. Shula imparted the sad news and Topper died about two minutes later, which was all part and parcel of Alistair's mistake.

Harrison's brother is called Marcus

Harrison and Marcus sound an improbable combination of sibling names.

Bibesia · 31/07/2018 12:56

I think Alistair's mistake will be something more serious than not answering his phone when on call. After all, it sounds as if Topper would have died anyway, so you can't really say that was "dire consequences".

MikeUniformMike · 31/07/2018 13:07

I think that Mrs Burns was a MNer. Harry and Mark would not be enough for her.

Radio Times
5 Aug to 10 Aug
Lower Loxley is the scene of devastation as the aftermath of Freddie’s mistake leave the frantic Pargettses having to pick up the pieces. As the consequences become ever more serious and far reaching, will Freddie ‘fess up or find himself in even deeper trouble?

Elsewhere, we have birthday celebrations as Kenton and Shula hit 60. Shula, in particular, is keen to let her hair down by getting close to a charming suitor. However disaster strikes when Kenton makes a shocking discovery about Alistair. Over at Home Farm, Jennifer puts her heartbreak to one side to prepare the house for the estate agents’ visit. And Kate goes on the war path – threatening to make a terrible situation even worse.

Cast:
Kenton, Jolene,
Jennifer, Kate,
Adam, Ian
Susan, Jazzer
Harrison, Fallon
Rex, Toby,
Elizabeth, Lily, Freddie
Shula, Alistair
Roy, Lexi
D.C. Zindilis

Ooh, remember right at the beginning of these threads when I posted about the overheard conversation in the restaurant?

The only thing that has not come to pass so far was the FIRE AT LOWER LOXLEY!

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/08/2018 09:37

Found it!

Oh good Lord - is this fire-devastation going to feature as part of the ‘Asian’ wedding they’ve been teasing us with for weeks?

No extra cast listed (wedding party etc) but then, they like to keep something up their sleeves. Just the police ...

Poor Freddie. I really don’t want him to suffer too badly.

Surely Lower Loxley wouldn’t be entirely lost? I hate it when they force people to up sticks - it’s so often clumsily done. Grundys at Grey Gables f’rinstance. I imagine the Pargetters could be accommodated at the Stables (particularly if Alistair ... well, who knows ...).

ADarkandStormyKnight · 01/08/2018 10:45

Home Farm will soon be available.

Gruach · 01/08/2018 10:55

Well ... maybe ... (I don’t believe this will happen though.)

But, presuming Lower Loxley simply needs repair, Elizabeth wouldn’t be interested in buying Home Farm. And there’d be no point in the Aldridges moving out unless for immediate financial gain.

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/08/2018 11:18

Shula, in particular, is keen to let her hair down by getting close to a charming suitor

She's going to fling herself at Robin, isn't she? Grin

Bibesia · 01/08/2018 13:38

Could it be arson by one of Freddie's less desirable associates?

D0do · 01/08/2018 15:24

Cripes! Is this the new Editor coming in with a bang, or the interim Editor going out with one? Surely the new Ed must arrive soon, anyway.

Thanks, Gump!

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/08/2018 15:47

Bibesia I think you might be onto something there

Gumpendorf · 01/08/2018 18:43

There are no mini spoilers after 10 August as yet. Confused

Robin isn't in the cast list for next week so it may be a fleeting first visit. However, there are only 20 cast members listed next week compared to 24/25 usually so room for some surprises? Wink

Next week's episodes are directed and edited by acting editor Alison Hindell According to this press release she swaps roles with Jeremy Howe who takes the reins as Archers editor at the end of August.

Ooh, remember right at the beginning of these threads well that just sent me on a mammoth procrastination spree, had never occurred to me to look back at the early threads!

Gruach · 01/08/2018 20:34

Did you go through the archives of the main, non-spoiler-y Archers threads, witch? (I’ve been known to lose an entire weekend to those. So satisfying.)
