Radio Times
27 August to 1 September

Adam has a classic soap dilemma on his hands: should he keep quiet about the intimate moment he witnessed between Lilian and Matt? Having been cheated on himself in the past, Ian has little sympathy for Lilian and thinks Adam should tell Justin the truth. But if Adam does that, The Archers could lose months of cliffhangers. Aargh – what to do?

Despite the generic nature of that particular plotline, there is only one story this week that could be taking place in Ambridge. Yes, it's the kefir challenge, where Susan is vowing to beat Carrie. But who will bag the coveted managerial role? And who will be left crying over split fervented milk?

David Brown is back

Thank you so much for all of that, Gumpendorf.

Not bloody Pip back on the scene. Really, they need to give her an extended break. Preferably for several decades.

I must have fallen asleep listening to the episode on 22nd, I don't remember Clarrie receiving anything. Will have to LA

East wasn't it Susan's face mask?

Was that all? Maybe I won't bother. I usually LA in bed to block out snoring so often doze off before something crucial. Luckily the threads keep me up to date .

Thanks Gumpendorf. Wonder if Ian (and Adam) will try to buy GG at the eleventh hour?

And what has Tony offered for?

Radio Times
3rd to 8th September.

Will Roy's fledgling relationship with Lexi ever get off the ground? The pair have been encountering obstacles for a month and now, just as Roy finally asks her out, he finds himself having to referee between his date and patronising Jennifer.

There is tension of a different kind between Ian and Adam following last week's bombshell news. In the end, it's Lilian who succeeds in offering Adam a new perspective, but will they be able to reach a compromise with which they're both truly happy?

Finally, the staff at Grey Gables fear for their jobs in the build up to Oliver's staff meeting. What will be his final decision on the future of his beloved hotel?

Robert has the solution?

They can sell Ambridge Hall and Lynda can buy Grey Gables.

The Ambridge Fairy fixes all

On a tangent - does anyone know what happened to the proboards Mustardland, set up by Smeesue?

I haven't looked in there for months but did today and see that it's been taken down.

Sounds like Ian fancies a management buyout at GG. Maybe hoping to get his in-laws to invest?

Ian/Lynda/Roy consortium?

Gosh, Bore, it's gone. Message here:

"As of now, this board is closed. In the next week or so, I will reopen it as a 'read only' archive. When it gets to the point that the mere thought of logging in causes severe anxiety, it's time to stop doing it. This is not negotiable, & attempts to change my mind will not be met kindly; please have the courtesy to respect a decision not taken lightly or without a great deal of thought. Many thanks to those who have made this a good place; you are appreciated."^

I had a quick look at Peet's and could see no mention of it, and the message is undated, so who knows when this happened. I hadn't looked there for months. I think she was running The Archers as an add on to another forum. I find it hard to believe the Archers chat was the problem, but who knows.

Hmmm... I suspect the eternal infighting might have been to blame then.

I just can't get on with Peet's layout I'm afraid.

And I like being a bit sweary

I've never taken to it either. However, I see there is a successor board. I will report back if I find out anything further.

Mustardland is still there but they stopped printing the spoilers verbatim because of copyright concerns. They now paraphrase and it seems a bit of a mishmash.

Which Mustardland Gump? The Smeesue one? Because all I can see there is the notice that Gasp0 posted.

The paranormal one, Gasp0. I'm not sure whether I can post a link. 'Rolling spoilers, a new beginning' thread.

Ah right. As I said, unfortunately that site is just not for me. I will continue to rely on you to bring us the spoilers

Sorry Bore. Misaddressed my last posts.

I don't go there v often. By chance, I looked this week to see if they had found a new source for the daily spoilers. They hadn't.

I hope that Phoebe facing her fear is simply Roy finding out she lied about the pregnancy test & that Lexi is not in a relationship with Konstantin.

After listening last night, it looks like Ollie will be staying but offering staff some sort of buy-in then (excited Ian, Robert solution)
