Given Josh's performance tonight, I hope they decide the inheritence by leaving the whole lot to Ben, for being the only member of the Archers' clan who isn't an insufferable twat. #TheArchers

Have we completely discounted the possibility of Tim Beechman driving past in an open top sports car and tossing away an empty bottle that accidentally clonked George? Have we? #TheArchers

Tracy got Brad to reprogramme it to remove Jazzer from the recordings, who has provided an alibi for Ed, who was protecting Keira, who attacked George with the help of Rosie. #TheArchers

At the end of the episode, I was reminded of the scene in Airplane where there is a whole queue of people waiting to hit someone. "After you, Hannah, no after you, Harrison ... etc."

I'm hoping the daughter can't remember his first name either, and Alan will begin the funeral service, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to pay our respects to village stalwart, [nervous cough, scrapping of chairs, flatulence, etc.) MISTER Mulligan. Who can forget him, eh?"

It has been great for our youngest cat. It's paid for expensive cardiology scans and ongoing medication, but there is an exclusion on preexisting conditions.

Ditto. I like choral evensong as well.

I thought Jim sounded very old, a very sad development.

Indeed.

How's the sh*tberg? I somewhat regretted my podcast choice when making breakfast the other morning.
