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

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 a bombshell.

My God, we actually got a prediction right.

Fallon wiped the tape.

She seemed startlingly unversed in the law,

not even for someone married to a policeman,

but just generally,

that tampering with evidence and perverting the course of justice

was actually quite a big deal.

Harassment and Fallon wildly accused each other of everything from the bottling to the abduction of Shergar, and he left only to reappear again

48 hours later. His mileage must be through the roof. It was all a little awkward and then they made up.

Fallon was worrying about wiping the tape and harassment said, showing all the perspicacity that makes him such a brilliant police officer, how could the police know it was you?

Well, Harassment, about 300,000 listeners figured it out. So what do you reckon? God, this is exhausting. If I had any faith in Borsetscher Police, I'd leave them to it. But I feel like one of those crime podcasters who obsessively solves Victorian crimes, giving

up their jobs and not sleeping for months at a time.

Esme managed to goon David, Paul and Alistair into helping her with TB testing, and then

they all rushed back to help her deal with the positive results.

What does this woman have? She said it was all about heart and head.
