[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Spoilers thread for The Archers. All Archers listeners are welcome here, whether you post on our main Archers thread or not. There's just one rule: please keep all spoiler-related discussion in this thread and do not spill the beans on the main Archers thread.

We usually add the BBC teasers and cast lists for forthcoming episodes as they
become available, plus the Radio Times and Daily Mail previews when possible.
Feel free to add anything else you come across, e.g. cast news, scriptwriter
tweets!

Megan Miller is in the credits, so she is called Miller.

Phil was always Phil and Philip was always Philip, but it was unfortunate.

Not sure if it’s a spoiler but from what the CA said about Rex I assume he is ghost of Christmas future 🙄

What did the CA say?

I can’t remember but something about Rex showing the future

Kirsty's mother might not be called Miller. Maybe she re-married, wasn't married, or uses her maiden name.

Kirsty's mother is listed as Megan Miller in the BBC cast lists for each of the two weeks on which the character has spoken.

(Sorry: didn't see the next page had happened before I posted.)

That's OK, @AskingQuestionsAllTheTime .

There's going to be a R4 'Ambridge does Dickensian' at Christmas, isn't there.

Maybe we could have other crossovers

ambridge does line of duty

ambridge does the walking dead

ambridge does the traitors

Ambridge does Game of Thrones and dragons destroy the entire village. Neil and Jim survive.

And Jakob, who treats a young dragon with a sore tail and becomes like family to them.

Ambridge does the Shipping Forecast?

Yes, I'll allow that.

I've listened to The Ambridge Podcast and I really enjoyed it.

'Tracy' said that Bert's bedroom was upstairs!
She was funny though.

After all that trouble poor Neil went to in order to make him an en suite bedroom downstairs where there used to be a dining room, too.

Peggy is dead!

Sad news. RIP.

She was such a good actress, and I loved Peggy.

Good to see we have more Rex this coming week.

I can't get over the timing of me getting the book. Coincidence, but still a bit 'Why did that happen?'.

Coincidence? Feh! It must be the influence of the Illuminati.

<Sorry, I've been reading a more than usually insane thread in AIBU.>

Calling Asking: When did rewilding start?

Was it 7 years ago? I seem to remember that it all kicked off during the first lockdown so there ought to be a fair sized inheritance tax bill to pay?

I seem to remember that Peggy gave them £1/2m and some land, so that will be going to put a big spanner in the works for the rewilding trust?

I do hope they remember Peggy's 100th birthday. I can't believe that the Laurels would let it pass without a party and local dignitaries present.

Spoilers update. As previously noted, there is nothing here at all to indicate that anyone has remembered it's Peggy's 100th birthday. Fingers crossed it is going to be mentioned in the scripts.

There's a very odd thing in the cast for three weeks hence. Four new actors, one of them pretty well known (Emma Fielding). Apologies to the others if they are also well known, but her name leapt out at me. What's going on there?
