Left the world better than he found it

A very fitting tribute to both Phil Archer and Norman Painting.

Norman did indeed leave the world a better place, even just for his involvement in The Archers – one of the original cast members, and as Archers scriptwriter Bruno Milna. As Phil was to Ambridge, Norman was to The Archers

"Woven horizontally into the fabric of village life"

He has achieved success he who has lived well, loved often and loved much

As Jill said, this is where life without Phil really begins

"So final like a full stop"

I could also have done without Jude in this episode – David’s

“Wish she’d get off the phone to Jude. She should be circulating”

was an irritating aside that, while is pertinent to that storyline, felt like an intrusion.

That’s probably just me annoyed that my sobbing was interrupted ...
"He’ll always be remembered with love"
