Welcome to Ambridge on the couch, an in-depth look at the archers with me, Jeff Thomas, Lucy Freeman, James Everett and Matt Rodriguez-Pain.

Now, before we make a start on your emails, let's have a recap of what happened this week in Ambridge.

We began the week with Adam, unfortunately. Adam is doing a George Costanza from Seinfeld and

completely ignoring the fact he's been fired by turning up for work regardless. Brian was trundling on,

getting himself tangled up at his drench pack straps. Try saying that after four pints of shires.

He was crowing about how much he was enjoying running the farm himself, and then Stella appeared, and he begged her to return to run the farm.

Martin Gibson's lady friend has been disappointed with the Gay Grable's brunch.

I suspect she was disappointed with her lunch companion, to be honest.

He was, in his turn, disappointed by Ian, who had not drilled deeply into Brad.

He's an accommodating lad, Brad, but I'm not sure he's ready to be forensically analysed

by his boss and demanding to know the age of his girlfriend sounds faintly accusatory.

Rex really needs to be slightly more measured in his responses to Alice.

After she said light-heartedly that she was ready to leap headfirst into a glass of wine,

he panicked and practically tried to firemen's lift her into his taxi to carry her to rehab.

Losing alcohol as a prop doesn't mean entirely losing a sense of humour, Rex.

And when someone has expressed how stressed they are, then got cross when you completely lost your shit at a light-hearted remark,

is probably not the time to shout,

well, that's it, I've had enough and stalk off.
