Brian: “I’m aware of that, Adam.”
Adam: “Yes, but some of the listeners might not be.” #TheArchers #PlotRecap

Brian: “Yes.” #TheArchers #PlotRecap

Hannah: “Wow. Someone’s been digging into #TheArchersArchive!” #TheArchers #PlotRecap

Brenda: “Remember when you had the shop in Borchester and I was at Radio Borsetshire for five years? And then I worked at Amside for years. If I hadn’t met Dmitri when I did I might still be in #TheArchers!” #PlotRecap

Brenda from Bristol saying: “You’re joking. Not another one! Oh for God’s sake!” But in response to Theresa May calling a snap election in 2017 rather than the revelation of yet another woman Tom Archer had been engaged to. Neither Brenda could have imagined the chaos that would ensue in the following years.

Natasha: “You were engaged to Brenda, weren’t you Tom?” #TheArchers #PlotRecap #NotAnotherOne
