Thank you, #TheArchers tweetalongers. I’m off to help the Agricultural Story Editor flog a dead horse. See you next week!

Miss Babs: “Mrs O, fetch Barbara Nice a nice cup of tea and a Nice biscuit, and then we can all have a good laugh about planting that antique shank in Mr George’s cell!”
Mrs Overall: “Oh, I am pleased!” #AmbridgeAntiques #TheArchers

Mrs Overall, wearing a tabard as usual, carries a tea tray with a mug on it. She looks very pleased. In the background, Stockport housewife Barbara Nice laughs and looks thrilled. (Barbara Nice is the comic creation of Janice Connolly, who played the prison officer in this week’s omnibus.)

Barbara Nice: “If you’re found guilty, you could get up to another 42 days in #TheArchers.”
George: “42 days? That 6 omnibuses! I can’t! I CAN’T! If I do one more day in this… PLEASE!!” *sobs*
Barbara Nice: “Never mind, kid. Let’s cheer ourselves up with a STAGE DIVE!”

George: “That script was obviously planted there!”
Barbara Nice: “I’ll believe you, love, since I’m famously Nice. And I will put a word in with the Agricultural Story Editor. Now, I’d better get back to Ken, he thinks I’m dog sitting for Jean and Jean in Hebden Bridge.” #TheArchers

Ian: “Look – Maudie Atkinson is staying. That’s one of the undercover names the food critic Martina Woodmansie uses! This is a fantastic opportunity to recreate that ‘Hotel Inspectors’ episode of #FawltyTowers!” #TheArchers
