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 would love to attend Pip's wedding with Natasha and the starry twins, 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 https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/radio_addicts/4636789-the-archers-spoilers-thread-12-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.)

Starting the new thread a bit early as I'm not sure I'll have much internet access for the next few days. Fill up the old one first. And then - over to you!

(Credit for the thread title goes to @TripleSulko.)

I missed your 🔮@Every1ElseInKnowsley. I bow to your superior prediction skills!

Take note about the Freddie Zainab marriage. You saw it here first. Smile

'R Chels did us proud. Great acting from Madeleine Leslay.

A warm welcome to NewJosh. He'll be fine once I get used to his voice.

Well I'm glad to hear this is a new Josh. Every time a character goes AWOL for a bit and then returns months later, I think "I don't recognise this voice at all" 🤔

am baffled you are all surprised Ruth called Josh: 3 missed calls to Ben, 5 missed calls to her and the news he was back?

I agree any normal mother/person would call straight away. As it is, Ruth and David see Josh as an irritant and are usually preoccupied with their golden daughter.

Would you? I don't think I'd be checking my phone if I was MOTB and tucking into amaaaaaaazin creme brulee.

I suppose any mother other than Ruth might conceivably have been checking to see if her absent son had been trying to send a message of congratulations on the day.

Josh said he wasn’t coming. No explanation. Rude!
She had her daughter’s wedding to think about… a million things. I’m not sure I’d be impressed if my family were checking their phones every five minutes to see if the person who had decided not to bother had graced them with a text message

BeatriceBatchelor · 20/10/2026 16:56

Over to the new thread y'all ...

Every1ElseInKnowsley · 20/10/2026 17:59

@Darker , why would he travel all the way from Argentina to see his horrid big sister get married to someone she's in an unconvincing relationship with?
