We never thought we’d feel sorry for Will. Although of course it should have been Pip! Discuss The Archers here (Titled edited by MNHQ)

Welcome all! I was really touched by the potential for Ed and Will to reconcile. But wonder if Will can accept Ed’s support.

As ever, no spoilers here (there’s a thread for that) - discussion permitted as soon as the pm episode is broadcast.

Poor Alistair, it‘s ages since he‘s been to a conference ....

Oh I don't know, I know it is all in her own hands but I can't help feeling sorry for shula.

Sorry?! What is this “ coh idge” that Fallon and Harrison are moving into?!

So Nic took down Matt - yee ha!

And Fallon and Harrison bought Christine’s house

I wonder if Rex knows he's about to become a pig farmer....

Nic thinks thought she mowed Matt down . Probably because she was in a hurry driving along the road at around the time it happened. So she thought it must have been her car that hit him.

The 🔮 thinks the culprit will eventually be revealed and will not be Nic.

whyismykid I know , I was just horrified at the pronunciation!

Let’s be honest here ..does anybody really care who hit Matt? Especially since he survived and is not in the programme at the moment

Ahh! I was feeling all smug that I knew A Fact... now feel silly that I missed the nuance!

The 🔮 thinks the culprit will eventually be revealed and will not be Nic.

Could it be Will? Nic knew but never let on to the authorities?
It would explain our oft raised query of "how come the other adult in the household didn't notice a Matt-shaped dent in the car?"

DId anyone else wonder what Fallon was doing in Alan's house?
Why do they have to choose so many actors with identical voices?

R4 the 🔮 is curiously reticent about who the real culprit might be...

The 🔮 thinks the culprit will eventually be revealed and will not be Nic

I agree - too much of a red herring. I think Nic's confession will be something else entirely (my first thought was Poppy not being Will's as Nic wasn't keen on another baby but I'm not sure now).

whyismykid At least you understood my phonetic spelling which was very difficult given the horrible mangling of the word!

I completely agree re Shula - to paraphrase Samuel Foote: She is not only dull in herself, but the cause of dullness in others

Great !

I agree re Matt- nobody liked him; nobody cared and he isn't dead.

I don't see how Nic could possibly have run Matt down (or believed she had) but manage to keep so quiet about it afterwards. Surely there would have been pretty obvious signs that she was worried and upset?

GnotherGnu what wide words re: Shula!

Where was Will on the Matt not being killed night?

Where was Will on the Matt not being killed night?

Who was looking after the children? Will? Who told Nic Poppy was ill?

choccy you could understand identical voices if they had the correct local accent, but to have two such similar unrelated ‘northeners’ is really shit. Will and Ed grew up in the same house and they sound completely different!

Ah, Will is a gamekeeper so will have a large 4x4 type vehicle.
My old Discovery could have mowed down a herd of elephants and suffered nothing more than a loose headlight bulb. That is why there are no cars with apparent Matt shaped dents in them

Ah, Will is a gamekeeper so will have a large 4x4 type vehicle

As will half of Ambridge - Shula, Justin, Adam and Alice.

I'm getting less and less convinced that the confession has anything to do with Matt.

True, but IME the 4x4s of people like Will would not show a dent, being probably dented and muddy already.
Justin et al will have shiny new ones.

I agree.
