Excellent point. I can hear Eddie saying 'Don't worry Clarrieluv'. Of course she always did worry. Ironically, Eddie usually was up to something dodgy, whereas George wasn't.
It's a pity he hasn't learnt from Ed & Emma instead... 1/2 #TheArchers

There is a startling level of cultural illiteracy involved in complaining that a school's Christmas play has a plot about refugees from the Middle East. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Inverness school's Christmas show cancelled after 'racist' abuse
Highland Council says some of the online messages were directed at staff at the primary.

We don't know who stole the Village Hall Curtain Fund money. It was most likely Alf, he disappeared from Ambridge at the same time.
Some listeners assumed it was George because he suddenly had a lot of cash. Emma thought was over-generous birthday money from Will. Maybe she was right. #TheArchers

Just a thought. When George (age 10) was flashing the cash after the Village Hall Curtain Fund went missing, many listeners thought he had stolen it. Whereas Emma thought Will was being over-indulgent again.
Maybe Emma was right? 🤔 #TheArchers

Very much a first world problem, but honestly, #Waitrose should be paying me to pull their products forward 🙄. I had a proper workout this morning, stretching up (I'm 5'2") and grovelling on the floor. Someone less curious would probably have assumed the stuff on the lower shelves was out of stock.

'Most newborns look like potatoes' 🤣🤣
Might be true of some humans, but most of us are mammals and similarly wired. Most newborns look like potatoes but brain chemicals convince us otherwise.

So, Leonie can give James the flick, move to Ambridge and maybe get cosy with Rex? He needs to get over Rochelle. I assume she is in the right age bracket ,unless Martyn makes a play for her.

I must say I have enjoyed this week's #TheArchers, even though, as someone said earlier in the week, you could strain spaghetti with the plot 😊

Don't forget Phoebe lives with her (presumably) Scottish partner in Scotland, a country where the name Margaret was historically very popular. Though it seems less so in recent years. #TheArchers

I’m gonna keep sharing these ovarian cancer symptoms whenever I see them.
I will add - from personal experience - diarrhoea and fatigue.
Get it checked! Remember, there’s no routine screening for ovarian cancer.

This has reminded me. Didn't Joy say she was thinking of organising some sort of Christmas entertainment? We've heard nothing more about it. #TheArchers
He was, wasn’t it him that was running two girlfriends during the Gilbert and Sullivan village production. #TheArchers

I was hoping for news of Phoebe, but instead we had Tom & Tony moaning & Helen mooning* 🙄 #TheArchers

Little thing from yesterday's episode. Phoebe & Alice were laughing about people having to wear each other's clothes. Then they both sighed simultaneously, the way people really do when the conversation has run out. Great bit of acting & direction. #TheArchers

Crystal ball 🔮 (i.e. probably wrong 😂) prediction. Jacob said they could detour via Phoebe's house. The detour will end up being to her local maternity unit. Phoebe will have a conventional birth, with Brodie in attendance & the others waiting outside. Kate will be livid 😆 #TheArchers

OH has had a message from a friend in the village saying his neighbour, also a friend, has been found dead at home. He'd had some health problems recently, but it was unexpected. No suspicious circumstances. Mid-60s. Recently welcomed his 2nd grandchild. I'm a bit discombobulated 😥

I seem to recall James & Leonie going up in a light plane to take aerial photos of Ambridge. Possibly as part of their book project in 2011. But I can't find it in the summaries. Does anyone else remember, or have I made it up? 🤔 #TheArchers
Overall James Bellamy’s appearances have been:
A month or two in 2005
Summer 2009
Various but not many from April 2011 to September 2014.
3 in 2017
Unknown number of Ambridge Extra episodes.
Note: ignore 1997 episode, that’s for James Coverdale not J.Bellamy.
