<p>Cockamamie predictions abound and we wonder why it didn't occur to anyone that cold water swimming might not be Fallon's ideal pastime....</p>

Pointless swim across Lake Buttermere, anyone?  - BBC The Archers fan podcast 

In which Lucy and Jeff discuss the root of the tree problem, Alan’s tantrums and a career switcheroo #TheArchers

Treemendous!

Jeff and Lucy applaud a fantastic week in Ambridge, and wonder when Harassment Burns is going to realise he’s just not very good at being a police officer. Everybody loves Chelsea, and Jeff has his heart melted by Clarrie and Eddie. #TheArchers

There go the Brides!

Jeff gets the board rubber thrown at him, Lucy doesn’t understand how people are being invited to the Wedding of the Century, and we wonder: what is Ruth’s problem with friends? #TheArchers

Ready! Freddie! Go!

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
