Curse of the Archers does for Sykesy
Ever since Nigel Pargetter fell off the roof of Lower Loxley while David Archer looked on it has been known that there is a curse of the Archers. It has struck again this week. Ben refusing a cheque that Sykesy was trying to give him, on appropriate professional grounds, caused him of fall and break his hip. He will not it seems to returning to the Laurels as he needs nursing care. Or to put it another way Jasper Carrot’s short term contract is up.
The Saga of Helen
The Archers long term plan for Helen has been to promote her as a single mother struggling with the exigencies of life. Fair enough although it can seem a bit one-dimensional. At the moment she needs professional help. Here the Archers usually departs from reality. In the real world a long wait would occur as Helen’s situation gets worse. But in Borsetshire there are rarely such delays

An evening at The Bull
Rooth, Pip and Stella too spent an evening at The Bull on Friday but the fact that Pip and Stella are special friends still seems to elude Roooth. Meanwhile George and Brad were also there. George was up to no good as usual but Brad was rescued by Mia. Perhaps they finally got around to watching Battleship Potemkin which was on their viewing list earlier in the week
