Summary

Roifield and Lucy normally try to avoid events on Sunday evening when they record on a Monday morning but this week the allegedly momentous happenings are covered in forensic detail. So spoilers for this week appear below.Although the sound of the knife dropping to the floor was missed the rest is covered with every bloody fingerprint examined. Well written, well performed and the sound effects team are almost given a Roifield clap. What lets the side down Roifield explains in measured and certain terms is that within The Archers universe this was the wrong ending. As he points out the opportunity to provide a clean and undisputed solution with Helen being permitted to rediscover her inner self and strength in line with her long standing character attributes has been sacrificed for column inches and notoriety. A soap ending when it could have been so much more and achieve better realism than police and the law stamping all over an already down trodden woman.Titian73 uncannily predicts the Sunday events and it could be said that she struck lucky. Many of the other calls get stuck into the events on Sunday as well.Kosmo says "Blossom Hill Cottage stands on a side road off the Borchester Road, not far past Grey Gables". It is pretty rural and well out of the village. Willow Farm and Kirsty are well off to the east of the village.Aunty Jean has a dumteedog - what is it?And Paul Trueman's fund raising has now exceeded £100k - which is amazing.KosmoOn this week’s episode we have calls from Susie who wants Lilian to take herself more seriously, Titian 73 who is clearly psychic, Witherspoon who thinks Helen’s story is riveting and revolting Jacqueline Bertho who’s following the moneyGlyn Fullelove who has a complaintYokelbear who’s relievedAndrew Horn who defends HenryNew York Nigel who thanks me for giving him the clap Clare Page who had a restless nightMorgan from NY who said this is what we want people to hearAmy Gilbert who’s a quivering wreckSara Browne who doesn’t want to listen at lunchtimeAunty Jean who was so moved she said oh goshGoddess Deeva who says it’s al been worth itandEmily Thomas who missed French class
