The Ambridge Socialist
April 5th
Tony loses the Angus herd, Brian loses his marbles
Easter seems to be a season of pre-valedictories in Ambridge.
Brian determined to protect Ruairi has fallen out with Miranda and appears to be going through a late life crisis. Miranda, reasonably, has had enough and terminated their relationship. At the moment
Oliver has revealed some of the truth about Brian to Miranda but has also suggested that bad knees may cause him to give up riding
Tony has been trying to say goodbye to his beloved Angus herd but has found that Helen has already put them up for sale.
Health Issues
Dr Azra continues to play a central role. She has been pursuing her mental health awareness campaign, a much needed one, even if resources are scant. She has also referred Pip for a scan after she discovered a small lump in her breast. Again prudent.
The cricket crisis
As if all this was not enough the crisis over the Ambridge cricket team continues. It has warranted a discussion on the Archers podcast with Mark Pougatch. Meanwhile Oliver has made clear that use of the cricket pitch is open to all (including Eddie’s sheep) and Lynda’s control freakery is unwarranted. Robert, revealing an unexpected previous career at ACAS, has brokered a solution which Lynda accepts. There will be Ambridge cricket 2026.
Easter Promises
Not as interesting as when Sgt Knacker Burns was crucified on the village green
Meanwhile there is war in the Middle East although news has yet to reach Ambridge…


I must have missed the bit about Robert and ACAS.
Mind you, I’ve never adapted to the new Robert. Don’t like his voice.
