Ready! Freddie! Go!

This week, Harriet and Lucy debate villages that run on gossip, where Alan's supporters have gone and why Harriet's Instagram feed is full of James Norton with his top off. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In which Lucy and Jeff discuss the root of the tree problem, Alan’s tantrums and a career switcheroo #TheArchersSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jeff and Lucy applaud a fantastic week in Ambridge, and wonder when Harassment Burns is going to realise he’s just not very good at being a police officer. Everybody loves Chelsea, and Jeff has his heart melted by Clarrie and Eddie. #TheArchersSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch. Hosted on Acast.

Jeff gets the board rubber thrown at him, Lucy doesn’t understand how people are being invited to the Wedding of the Century, and we wonder: what is Ruth’s problem with friends? #TheArchersSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch.

We discuss where Alan went wrong and what happened after the cocktails, and Brad has an eventful driving lesson. Okay babe? #TheArchersSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Lucy and Jeff debate Harrassment’s motives, Brian’s entitlement and daft baby names. #TheArchersSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Listeners' theories on Alan's financial dealings with Carol abound, we find Amber's take on childbirth surprisingly refreshing and Bishop Cyril's anxious about Alan's pagan leanings.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch.

In which we say a not terribly fond farewell to Carol, muse on what kind of trouble Alan has now inevitably got himself into and remain in awe of Kenton’s brass neck. #TheArchersSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch.

Jeff and Lucy discuss death, divorce and whether or not ‘Monty’ would be allowed in a Scrabble game. There's jacket potato chat, and Lucy can't tell her balalaikas from her bouzoukis. #TheArchersSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch. Hosted on Acast.

Back with a bumper episode, we marvel at George’s entitlement; Jeff wonders how Meadow Farm keeps going; Lucy cannot understand why Harassment is now sounding as if he’s on Last of the Summer Wine; and we’re both alarmed at Fallon’s guffawing.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch.
