http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37197247

God help anyone who phones me at 19:02 on Sunday !

[mikey4444]

I'm not sure any of our regulars need reminding but the Trail of the Century begins tonight, at 19:02 !

Just seen this in the Observer ::::

Mikey I'm going to have to set my phone to remind me. I'm an omnibus listener but will be away next Sunday so have to listen every day this week. Just to confirm it's on at 7pm Sunday to Thursday (no episode Friday night?) for the whole lot??

[mikey4444]

Not quite Prudie !

The Archers is on Sunday through to Friday, at about 19:02 or 19:03. Each episode is repeated at 14:02/3 the following day and Fridays episode is tacked onto the Sunday Omnibus.

You can also listen to a Podcast of each episode, and there is always the website to consult, with both sound episodes and a written summary.

So, with all that lot, you should be OK !

I'm looking forward to the repeated 15-minutes+ breaks on points of legal order.

[Prudie]

Thanks mikey just as well you knew - I'd always assumed Sundays were 5 x 15 mins worth rather than 6 x 13 mins minus music!

[hellywelly4]

Is everyone ready? Apparently Rob goes first.

[mikey4444]

Well....it as a good start for Anna....she made Rob lose his temper !

[hellywelly4]

It's made me shake! Don't know whether it's rage, frustration or what. Fantastic.

[mikey4444]

Anna has seen how she can shake Rob up and how easy it is. My advice to her would be use every opportunity to continue to do so, in order for the Jury to see through his little games.

I presume that Anna will also be using the self-defence line, as Helen was trying to protect herself and Little Henwee.

( if my memory serves me right ! )

I am not much of an expert in these affairs, but can Henwee be called on to give evidence, even by camera ?

[Prudie]

what a lying wonker...

[mikey4444]

Prudie....its what he's good at.

[ladybirder]

Don't get too carried away, they'll bring us all down again soon.
He's a brilliant actor.

[LennyDipp]

I hope everyone is aware that next Sunday (11th) evening's episode will be an hour, not the usual 15 minutes. This means that the omnibus the following Sunday (18th) will be from 10:00 until 12:00.

[hellywelly4]

Thanks for that Lenny. I didn't realise it.

[ladybirder]

Lovely, thanks Lenny.

[mikey4444]

Good girl Kirsty !

[jim360]

So has Helen Titchener been hanged yet?

[hellywelly4]

Well done Kirsty. Tell it like it is!!

[mikey4444]

Jim....go and stand in the corner please.

In the Radio Times each week there is an Ambridge Diary which 'sort of' summarises what is coming up. This week's diary starts - 'Only in The Archers could a legal drama hinge on evidence about the day somebody was attacked by a bull. So prepare yourself for recollections of that fateful Tony v Otto encounter from 2014 as Pat is questioned at the family court hearing. Will it have a bearing on who gets to look after Henry and Jack?'
Strange. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could possibly mean?
