Ruth finds herself marshalling egos and Keira breaks her silence.

Piles of Fun

We discuss where Alan went wrong and what happened after the cocktails, and Brad has an eventful driving lesson. Okay babe? #TheArchers

Alan’s father Ted moment  

This week, Lucy and Jeff debate Harrassment’s motives, Brian’s entitlement and daft baby names. #TheArchers

Grandpa Aldridge sows the seeds of revolt

Listeners' theories on Alan's financial dealings with Carol abound, we find Amber's take on childbirth surprisingly refreshing and Bishop Cyril's anxious about Alan's pagan leanings.

A Grundling!

In which we say a not terribly fond farewell to Carol, muse on what kind of trouble Alan has now inevitably got himself into and remain in awe of Kenton’s brass neck. #TheArchers

Death becomes her

Jeff and Lucy discuss death, divorce and whether or not ‘Monty’ would be allowed in a Scrabble game. There's jacket potato chat, and Lucy can't tell her balalaikas from her bouzoukis. #TheArchers

Carol scrabbles for the meaning of life.

Back with a bumper episode, we marvel at George’s entitlement; Jeff wonders how Meadow Farm keeps going; Lucy cannot understand why Harassment is now sounding as if he’s on Last of the Summer Wine; and we’re both alarmed at Fallon’s guffawing.

George and Jeff are on the sick

Jeff can’t bear the Harassment/Lily relationship, Lucy thinks Ruth’s immature, and they both love Lynda. Also we receive the best map ever and hear an eye-opening tale about waking up with a Dobermann.

Ruth Rage

Jeff gets Bert back-up, Carol gets Lucy’s back up, Ruth goes barking mad and we wonder whether it’s death row for Monty

It's a Dog's Life

We get the giggles at Adam’s back catalogue, wonder at Keira’s timing, and Jeff continues his misguided support of Bert.
