Thank you, @PseudoBadger, for kicking off this long, long series of Archers threads.

Archers All views on The Archers welcome here! New blood welcomed, and of course we are always delighted to welcome back former or occasional listeners/posters. We don't all agree on all points, although we do mostly try to be civil about it. Most of us are posting tongue in cheek a lot of the time, so don't worry about revealing that you'd like to have your fortune told by Bartleby, or other unusual views. Grin

Archers Spoilers: not on this thread, please! We don't wait for the omnibus to discuss the weeknight episodes, but we do try our best to avoid cross-contamination from www.mumsnet.com/talk/radio_addicts/4636789-the-archers-spoilers-thread-7-cant-wait-for-702pm-join-us-here, where spoilers are positively welcomed!

Archers For newer listeners, lurkers or those who just have no idea what we're talking about, @DadDadDad has created this useful thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/radio_addicts/3557323-For-Archers-fans-a-guide-to-acronyms-on-the-long-running-discussion-threads-and-any-other-meta-thread-questions-you-may-have - BOOP point for him! (See thread for explanation.)

Thread thrown together in great haste in advance of tonight's episode. Who's in the Am? Is it George's fault? Is this the end for Alice? Over to you!

Borchester is a market town with a small department store and a small hospital.
Felpersham is a cathedral city with the council offices, a teaching hospital, a university and a much wider choice of shops than Borchester. Make of that what you will!

Borchester I’ve read is based on Evesham. But the small hospital sounds more like Pershore.

Stoke-on-Trent isn't in the West Midlands and AFAIK has only one synagogue.

It’s in the West Midlands area, but not in the West Midlands Metropolitan County which is Birmingham and surrounds.

I think her daughter has and that's why she knew what to do with Ben.

I wondered whether her daughter was miscarried, and that’s why she’s tangled in the same SL as Fallon. Joy has spent her life fantasising about the life of her daughter that she didn’t have.

I know! That’s the penalty of catching up from 4 pages ago and answering as you go along.
