Hello Archers fans. I'll start by saying NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!!

I haven't listen to the Archers since May last year. Prior to that I listen to every episode since about 1999! So I was a serious listener.

I'm not quite sure what happened but I became really busy with DC, work, family etc and started listening to the omnibus on catch up each week, but then I missed a few weeks and kept thinking I'd catch up and never did. I kept thinking I'll have a good catch up session one day while I'm cleaning or something but the opportunity never arose and then I didn't want tune back in in case I'd missed out on anything juicy!

When I stopped listening the storyline was about Alice, and how George Grundy had crashed the car and made it look like her. At the time I stopped listening he hadn't been found out yet and everyone was treating him like a hero.

Now I'd like to get back into TA but I don't have time to listen to 9 months worth of episodes.

Option 1 is I just start listening again and try to catch up. But then will I have missed major events, lives and deaths and nuances that leave me confused or disconnected?

Option 2 is I try to catch up somehow and listen to some key episodes I missed. Wouldn't mind hearing the moment George finally owns up (which I presume happened), and is punished or whatever.

Not sure how I could do that though.

With your knowledge of having listen to TA for the last year, aside from George Grundy are there any big events I've missed, deaths or new characters? NO SPOILERS please don't actually tell me what they are! But ultimately, if I dive back in, have I missed much or has it just been loads of Linda Snell and Susan silly stuff?

Option 3: ask MNHQ to move your post to the Archers thread:

where there are plenty of people who will happily fill you in on things you’ve missed, and / or direct you to summaries online. Meanwhile, if you scroll through the thread from the top you’ll get a good idea of what’s been happening in the past few weeks. Then you can just pick it up from here.

Actually, if it’s just your own post you could simply C&P to the Archers thread yourself.

Google Lowfield Archers summaries for synopsis.

It's all moved very fast and very bizarrely.

George is prison for the crash and hates his family.

It's panto season, but only for this week.

Joy's Rochelle popped up and is now gone after hot pursuit of Rex.

Lots of beaver chat.

Neil is now a foundling baby contrary to reality.

Fallon quit the tea room but didn't move to the EV charging station .

Harrison is off to work undercover in York. They're still together but apart.

@FaeFay OP specifically said NO SPOILERS!

Justkeeprollingalong · 31/01/2025 19:55

Twice!

mooncloud1 · 31/01/2025 19:59

@FaeFay why would you do that?! You obviously read the OP, so unless you are incredibly stupid and have a 2 second memory (which you clearly don't as you managed to list all that had happened in 9 months) you are clearly just a twat.
