Alas poor Nic! I sacked her, Kenton. Death comes to Ambridge. Discuss the remaining Archers here. (Title Edited by MNHQ)

So it’s taken a sad, untimely death to bring me out of retirement. How I have missed you all
Welcome to thread 86!

licking snowdrops ?! Err, come again?

Strokes, as in Caroline.

FrancesCrawford my listening was intermittent in 1985 which explains why I remembered the ditch, and that she died, but not the immediate survival and heart attack. (My listening has varied from intermittent to non-existent over the years - it's only recently that I've become regular.)

I'm loving the spreadshits!!! 😂

And this thread as a whole actually, very informative for a relatively new listener such as myself.

I think "OK" is a relative term there, Francis.

Don’t need to be so prickly Francis ! I genuinely had not spotted that it was a typo and was wondering if snowdrops were edible.
Probably illegal to pick snowdrops as they are wild flowers.

George Barford died suddenly, didn't he? But I can't remember when or of whay.

Another common cause of death in middle aged men is during a jog! And that was Sid! He was in Oz, no? Btw l don’t care about being wrong. It goes with the territory in a long running story/soap. Nobody can hang onto every detail. When talking of Jamie‘s step parents, there‘s Jolene too. She was his step mother for a long time too.

*what, even, don't think he died of a surfeit of whey.

I‘d always thoughtJulia Pargetter had a stroke. But l might be mixing that up with her actress who did have a stroke.

Willyum was with George Barford when he collapsed, l think. It was another heart attack or stroke.

I'm guessing cheminotte was trying to politely backtrack from pointing out your slightly amusing typo because of your brusque reply.

Lucy Perks was in NZ. But Sid and Jolene went to Oz too. I think.

Whoever hit Matt must have had damage to their cars. Also, would Alice have left the hunt ball without Chris? But whyhaven‘t Chris/Alistair/Willyum noticed damage to vehicle?

Yes but Nic I would guess drove something cheap and cheerful like a Kia or a Seat which would be likely to be damaged. Shula and Alistair will drive 4×4 tanks and Alice probably where hitting Matt might do little damage.

I don't think joe was shocked by what she said tbh. But by the situation of a young person dying

Really? I don't get that at all.

Ruth had a bad fall on Lakey Hill, while pregnant with Pip. But everything was ok. That's the saddest Archers related stuff I've heard in a good while. Sorry about spelling your name wrong upthread, Francis

Lass I think he was upset and discombobulated by the situation. He said he was upset by the fact that a young person should be facing what nick was facing when he's so old. It can't havd been east for him, trying to reassure her.
