The Archers: Matt’s foot is finally free … Amy advises Helen … Trouble getting staff at The Bull

  • Top dog?
  • Trouble afoot now that Matt has his own money?
  • “I thought I saw you taking sneaky peaks at my stomach”
  • Is Will really that busy?
  • Fallon will sort it
  • “ I Love Lillian – but I wouldn’t take any advice on motherhood from her”


Top dog?

Isn’t that always Bea Smith? I don't see either Tom or Tony able to match her style.

“The things farmers find to worry about”

Indeed Matt. Though an argument over a £7,500 spend will happen in any ‘partnership’ business.


Trouble afoot now that Matt has his own money?


As well as having his foot set free, Matt has also put some money from one of his offshore accounts into his joint with Lilian.

“A free man and not a kept one”

Which must feel great, but doesn’t that also mean Matt can get to money which Lilian doesn’t know about? Next step, secret shady deals using Brenda?


“I thought I saw you taking sneaky peaks at my stomach”

Looks like Amy will have a fine career as a midwife, considering she was one of the very few (only?) folks to guess that Helen was pregnant.

And at least Helen’s pregnancy is getting her out from her DVDs to the pub.
Although it was nice for her to have someone (a) enthusiastic about her pregnancy and (b) in the know of her options for the birth.

Birthing pool, music and soft lights – that does indeed sound like a “day at the spa”!


Is Will really that busy?

Nic can’t do as many shifts at The Bull because Will is too busy to look after the kids.

Is he actually that busy, or was it just a good ploy to stop Nic getting out and about?

He’s a jealous man, is our Will.


Fallon will sort it

With Nic not able to do that many shifts, Lilian also less available as Matt can go out of an evening, and Jolene wandering around like a “shadow” – Fallon’s going to have to take control.

That’ll mean hiring in a new member of staff (which I don’t see why there’s a major issue about).

But Lilian seemed to be suggesting that they need to shock Jolene back into reality:

“Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind – get her back in the real world with us”

What could that mean? Everyone disappears for the night, forcing Jolene to run the bar by herself?


“ I Love Lillian – but I wouldn’t take any advice on motherhood from her”


Is James really that bad?

At least Lilian and Matt congratulated Helen and seemed genuinely pleased for her. Even though Lilian saw the whole experience as a way to get a new wardrobe …
