🤐 The Archers spoilers thread #7: Can't wait for 7.02pm? Join us here!

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Spoilers thread for The Archers. Please keep all spoiler-related discussion in this thread and do not spill the beans on the main Archers Thread (hence the zipped mouth on the emoji!). Last spoilers thread here: www.mumsnet.com/talk/radio_addicts/4197199--The-Archers-spoilers-thread-6-Cant-wait-for-7-02pm-Join-us-here

Current main Archers thread here: www.mumsnet.com/talk/radio_addicts/4632741-archers-thread-139-whos-the-daddy-no-ceremonial-required-to-join-us-discuss-the-archers-here The main thread tends to last a few weeks. The spoiler thread runs for well over a year, but I strongly suspect it gets read about as much as the main thread.

They had some who cancelled their stay so that Ben would be able to go to Elizabeth's birthday supper? And on the same day he went out to replenish the stocks for the B&B, so presumably there must have been some; they just haven't been mentioned.

Thanks Asking. I'm with you on the EV not being good for the planet BTW. I'm not currently posting on the main thread as I feel the posts have become a bit confrontational. I'm not even sure why I listen to TA these days.

I'm sorry about being prickly, but it was a case of cet animal est très méchant: quand on l’attaque, il se défend.

I wasn't actually saying EV is bad, just that it may not be the totally unalloyed good it is presented as by the Mias and Chelseas.

I can’t see Rylan staying in a place with a shared bathroom, he’s more boutique hotel than B&B.

Did we ever find out whether there is a room with an en suite bathroom at Ambridge Hall? Adil had to go out of his room to have a shower; that was how Ruby got in there, because he failed to shut his door securely.

Also, there was the singing in the shower which upset someone or other.

I don't think Brookfield will be viable as a B&B until Jill is ousted.

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime , no car is particularly good for the planet.

Oo ahrr! Is Jerlene sounding more like a pirate by the day?
We don't seem to have heard from Fallon or Emmur for a while.
Lots of Bridge Farm coming up. The twins' modelling perhaps?

If you are wondering what Natasha said, it was something like:
Mae'n neis cael gweld ti'n gwenu 'to.
It's nice to see you smiling again.

Gwell peidio dal dig, yn dyfe.

Best not to hold on to a grudge, isn't it.

Not sure why it was said in Welsh, other than as a portent, but from the spoilers we don't look like we'll be finding out next week.

Rats! I was hoping it was something like "Oh do shut up and go away, you tedious little man. I'll do as I please."

Cau dy geg a dos o 'ma, ddyn bach diflas, mi wnai be fynnai!

Microsoft Translator doesn't handle Welsh very well. Writing in the vernacular probably doesn't help. it can handle
Cau dy geg a cer oddi yma, ddyn bach dibwys, mi wnaf i be fynnai!

Natasha's words gave weird results, but her dialect is South Walian.

Tedious doesn't have a direct translation. Isn't it wonderful how rich languages are.

If they have done the £££ photoshoot, hasn't the potential damage been done? So why stop?

And now we know: there's a first floor double bedroom with en suite, or so Lynda said.

Meanwhile, here are what spoilers there are; I think both the RT and the DM have not been being given the press releases they used to get from the BBC, because they both seem to be very short at the moment, and not in the usual place in the case of the RT.

Radio Times Soap The Archers 7th – 12th May 2023
Friday's unexpected arrival of Rylan Clark, dropping in to judge the Eurovision variety show on his way to Liverpool, may be the headline-grabbing story, but there's plenty going on elsewhere. There's trouble at Lower Loxley as Freddie stands accused and Elizabeth gets a grilling that could have lasting consequences, and the Horrobins have a torrid time when Brad faces humiliation and Tracy goes too far. Meanwhile, a resident hears some worrying news ...

Daily Mail Weekend Magazine Archers Update 7th – 12th May 2023
Debate about how to mark the Coronation and Eurovision has been raging,with smooth-talking Justin and a full-on Lynda Snell both eager to ensure their opinions are heard. The time has now come. Listen out for a guest appearance by Rylan, one of the BBC TV faces of Eurovision,on Friday in Ambridge.

(Rylan Clark is not unexpected: he is known to be coming.)

Thanks Asking.
Freddie takes down the painting, perhaps?

Many thanks, Asking! Rylan plays Rylan, I see.

Who are Brandon and Rebecca? Are they part of Rylan's team?

Didn't he try to do that once already and find it impossible? Maybe he throws red paint over it.

And if so, where are they going to sleep?

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime , he did.
@Gonners , "May 12 There’s a surprise guest at Brookfield, and Lynda is on the warpath" Rylan does agrotourism?

Oh, never mind where Rylan's sleeping - it's his presumed minions I'm concerned about. But he could of course be the person booked into Brookfield - booked in under an alias by said minions.

Minions may be at the hotel Adil mentioned, whose name escapes me now, while Rylan slums it at Brookfield. No, me neither. What an idiotic story this is. (I've already said this on the other thread, but it bears repetitition.) Rylan was on the telly last night interviewing people in Liverpool. He's not making his way up there on Friday! Surely he's going to be there all week while the BBC bombards us with Eurovision-related stuff.

I don't mind the Eurovision bombardment, at least it's better than some of the other bombardments.

NOOO! Jazzer!

I am assuming that Jim was talking up a minor injury such as a slightly cut hand, to make Tracy realise how much she really loves Jazzer.
