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

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 having a second breakfast with David and Ruth and that well-worn trope of people not having time to help with the fate until Lind tells them who else is, and then backing down hurriedly and grudgingly agreeing until the entire fate is starved by people who have been manipulated into doing it and are palpably hating every moment.

The theme of most fates is paying through the nose for everything and most villages are happy with that.

George's defence team, Emma and Will, were debating whether or not to blame Harry, and then

before? In an unlikely turn of events, Kate and Emma went glamping together. Kate suggested

a relaxation exercise and Emma responded as if she was Darren Brown and was going to find

herself waking up three minutes later thinking she'd blown up gay Graebles. As was back, filling a skip

and get some sort of restraining order. But no, she'll end up staffing the second-hand

bookstall and find herself bargaining with people who want a first edition of Catcher in
