Hah! Maybe the bailiffs will come knocking for Natasha - when only Tom's at home.

Thanks Acis!

The more alarmed Tom is, the more I warm to Natasha.

Yes, thanks Acis

Are you new or a name changer?

Name changer

I'm finding the name changes disconcerting

'Twas ever thus ...

(I meant generally, for everyone.)

I was hoping it wasn’t aimed at me specifically!

I wonder why Natasha will be the talk of Ambridge?

I hope not because I'm bored of it as a story already, but maybe because Tom has started telling people she's in loads of debt.

Oh yeah, all it takes is for Roy to mention something to Susan.

I think it will be Tomntash living in the flat and Susan broadcasting something about them.

I wonder if Jazzer's rash (rasher, see what I did there?) is about jacking in the pigs with Tom after being blamed yet again.

Maybe Jazzer's rash decision will be to feed Tom to the pigs? We can only hope.

I listened to yesterday's Woman's Hour segment about the Archers Academic Conference. On the podcast it's the first item, but there is also some extra material at the end. Jane Garvey says, in response to a point about there only being invisible lesbians, "Well, whispers reach me that it's not impossible for a leading character to possibly be about to plunge into late life lesbianism." One of the conference women makes a comment about how it might make Shula interesting.

Obviously I don't rate a Radio 4 presenter's insider knowledge at all. What I want to know is what has the 🔮 got to say?

Radio Times 13 - 19 April 2019

Freddie is struggling to find a job and has little to do with his time except aggravate Russ. But when an emergency strikes, leaving Freddie in jeopardy, will his enemy be willing to help?

Ed tries to solve his cash-flow crisis by accepting an offer he can't refuse, but it may be the beginning of a dangerous game. The pressure's also on Tom, who's dealing with his move and a staff shortage at Bridge Farm.

And Alan and Shula have a Good Friday heart-to-heart. But will it be enough to pull her out of her despair? Or do Shula's problems lie deeper than even the vicar can reach?

Tom's world starts to crumble

Chin up Tom. Breakthrough, not breakdown, and all that.

The 🔮 says Jazzer is going to tell TomNTash where to go. He is likely to end up being head PigBloke at Rex's highly successful pig farm.

staff shortage at Bridge Farm. so maybe Jazzer does just up and leave. But not leave Ambridge. That mustn't happen.

Yes, but, but, but, what about Shula??

Sadia???

Shula and Alistair end up back together. The 🔮 has been saying this for ages.
