Ian - you sneak. Badly done.

Oops wrong thread

Well predicted Gasp0de (Matt as Shula’s old enemy). So if Jolene’s fears are confirmed is it Kenton? Or if Elizabeth is put on the spot could it be Freddie?

There's a wonderful interview with Matt on the TA website. Dated last night after the Hunt Ball.

There are no spoilers but people might think the very fact of an interview is ... significant.

R4 website update:

30 Oct. The residents of Ambridge receive shocking news, and Noluthando makes a friend.
31 Oct. Alice puts her foot in it, and Robert calls a truce.
1 Nov. Lilian fears the worst, and Pip makes a controversial decision.
2 Nov. Harrison hits a brick wall, and gossip spreads about the night of the Hunt Ball.
3 Nov. Roy faces an impossible dilemma, and Adam has something on his mind.

5 Nov. Justin issues an ultimatum, and Alistair has concerns.
6 Nov. Lilian tries to prevent a disaster, and Roy cannot help fearing the worst.
7 Nov. Lilian's suspicions rise, and Harrison has questions for one villager.
8 Nov. Ian struggles to make a good impression, and Shula is glad of a friend.
9 Nov. Lilian turns detective, and Elizabeth is put on the spot.
10 Nov. Harrison imparts shocking news, and Jolene's fears are confirmed.

12 Nov. What is distracting Lilian? Alan prays for some community spirit.
13 Nov. Adam feels cornered, and Jolene gets the lowdown
14 Nov. Justin is not a happy man, and Harrison plays detective.
15 Nov. Ruth tries to play match-maker, and is it goodbye to an Ambridge tradition?
16 Nov. Lexi takes charge, and Alan has an epiphany.
17 Nov. Can Toby and Pip reach an accord? Christine is in a holiday mood.

Is it a rule that Alan appears after something dramatic has happened?

Cast includes Matt, Alan and Usha as well as a Janet Thorpe.

How can Harrison "play detective"? Isn't it like saying Alan "plays vicar" or David "plays farmer"?

Ceto, you are right IMHO! Except H isn’t a detective- but l’d expect a collision to be investigated by uniform initially at least.

Thanks, Gump! So Matt is in the cast list - for all weeks? That's a very significant spoiler, and I do hope Gruach sees it as she has been fretting about him dying alone in a ditch. I suppose it could just be his voice on Lilian's voicemail, though ...

But is the cast list broken down by week? Perhaps he won't last into November?

Poor Matt.

Save the Tiger!

I'd rather have Matt as a character than Justin, but I'm not as taken with him as you, Gruach.

Gruach. Matt is listed as cast member for every week listed in mini spoilers. Suggests he's still with us.

Yay!

Hospital tea for him ...

5 - 10 Nov

Roy remains in turmoil following his shocking discovery and starts to think the worst. Lexi is supporting him, but alas, Roy’s attempt to do the right thing backfires spectacularly – with potentially life changing consequences…

Elsewhere, Justin issues an ultimatum that he may live to regret, while two villagers find themselves answering some awkward questions about the night of the Hunt Ball. Adam and Ian, meanwhile, pull out all the stops as they nervously prepare to meet potential host mother Carina.

Over at Brookfield, Pip is continuing her secret, no strings relationship with Toby. But Elizabeth is put in an uneasy position when David starts asking questions.

Oooooh! What could that be?

Thanks, Gump.

Oh, FFS, why on earth would Elizabeth feel it necessary to conceal the fact that Pip'n'Toby are back together? She's already doing Pip a massive favour, in her shoes I'd tell Pip she can't seriously expect me to keep secrets for her as well.

Pip asked Elizabeth not to tell until she knew “what her and Toby were doing”. Elizabeth already said she couldn’t keep it secret for long.

It looks as if Elizabeth is keeping it secret up to at least 9th November, which makes it pushing two weeks, doesn't it? Seems quite a long time to me.

But the Dopeys are away for some of it.

Radio Times
12 - 17 Nov

Gossip about the hit and run continues to cast a dark shadow over the village. Alan hatches a plan to bring Ambridge together – but has he already bitten off more than he can chew.

Lillian continues her quest for the truth – cue an epic confrontation when she presents her evidence and demands answers. However, you can expect her to be sideswiped by a very surprisingly admission.

Finally, Harrison proves to be a useful inside man as more than one Ambridge resident finds themselves under investigation following Matt’s accident. Plus Pip and Toby confront the future of their relationship: will they get back together or is this really the end of the line?

Thanks, Gump!

Thanks, Gump! Do we think Lexi is going to direct the Christmas show?

Radio Times
19th to 24th November

Prime suspect Justin must surely be the red herring in the Archers whodunnit? Far too obvious, in my opinion. And yet he continues to be the main focus of suspicion regarding the hit-and-run. Will he and Lilian be able to weather the storm?

Speaking of Lilian, she is worried sick following last week’s bombshell and opts to confide in Peggy, who is equally horrified. But as Lilian frantically tries to make amends, there is another shock in store…

Away from all that, the vote closes in the Parish Council elections. But as Robert and Emma’s respective supporters gather, who will come out on top? And how will the losing team react?
