· Becky, a first-time caller-innerer, who wasn't entirely convinced by the harvest scenes;

· Paul in Olney, who thinks that Amber might have been a bit tactless;

· Globe-Trotting Richard again, answering Katherine's question from last week about what he does;

· Witherspoon, who has some reflections on Lynda Snell;

· Claire from Clapham, who has enjoyed Stella's courage and Martyn's discomfort;

· And finally Witherspoon again, who has views about Brian;

We also have emails from Chris in Indiana and from our own Vicky.

As usual we'll hear a roundup of the Dumteedum Facebook group, this week from Michelle, and the Tweets of the Week from Theo.
