The Archers: Nic’s getting a lot of male attention … The Strange Affair at Ambridge Towers' final rehearsal … Kenton apologises … that’s who the celebrity is!

What’s Nic being set up for?

First Lilian tells Will that Nic is a ‘big hit’ with the male customers, then one of those customers turns up at Will and Nic’s day out.

We all know Will doesn’t like Nic working in The Bull, and that he has had a bit of bad luck when it comes to another man whisking away his woman (to say the very least!).

So where is this all leading? Is Nic about to stray? Or, is Will about to come out all caveman style?


Did Lilian sound a bit different today?

It took a fair few lines before I realised that it was Lilian speaking at the start. Or, was that just me?

More gardening clues to the The Strange Affair at Ambridge Towers

“Mrs Perkins replanting the hanging baskets on the village green”

I won’t even try to say that I spotted the murderer (as I am writing this after listening to Sunday’s reveal), but this was the only other clue I noted down.

And a new gravestone name: Simone Tregorran – which I think is Simone Archer (Ben Archer’s wife) and Janet Tregorran (as far as I know, Carol and John are still alive in Bristol)


Joe’s one man boycott

Bless.

The bigger worry is just where he will get his baccy from. Surely not Borchester?


“If that was a bear I’d be dead meat”

Indeed you would Nic, but those shooting skills might come in handy soon if anything does go awry with Will. He isn’t exactly the calm and collected type.


Kenton was being “responsible”

Aha. So he was. It’s completely responsible to get tiddly, text your partner and sleep on your employees settee.

But, while it’s not exactly responsible, it’s also not exactly a heinous act.

Still, one too many for Kenton – one time too many for Kathy.

And do we think Kenton will listen to his own argument about the ridiculousness of the idea of him and Kirsty?

Will the age difference and employment status matter if Kirsty is interested?

Had Kathy only managed to out the idea into Kenton’s head?


Lilian’s bringing her riding crop

Yay!


Wagner …red Jaguar … famous crime writer

Even I managed to work that one out from the ‘Lewis’ quote – though I was still 50/50 on whether it was Colin Dexter or Kevin Whatley.

Here comes Colin!
