For all you Archers fans.........

The trouble with it being deliberate as far as i see it is, who could have predicted that Matt wouldn't go the ball: that he would have got legless on the pub: been sent out to sober up by Kenton and then decided to walk to Grey Gables?

However, no one screeched to a halt after hitting him so they weren't panicking and they were cool enough to check the damage so looks deliberate.

Which leads me to conclude it was Jolene after Kenton set it up with her earlier in the evening when Matt turned up. He is Shula's brother after all. Unfortunately, he has told Shula which is why she's in a foul mood as she is now wracked with Christian guilt and equally furious that Matt wasn't finished off.

Not that I've given it much thought tbh.

The most obvious suspect is Justin Elliott and the scriptwriters are painting him into the slot.
How it will turn out though is anyones guess.
Was there ever a time when village copppers were so transparent and villagers couldn't help but make themselves look guilty in his presence....

They are lucky to have any sort of police presence in the countryside; apart from when I found a bomb a week or two ago (in another thread) hardly ever even seen a police car drive by and we are on a busy B road that connects two large towns.

Was it the quality of the script or the quality of the acting?

Well if it'd been anyone local there would be a damaged vehicle in the village surely?

Brian’s car in for repairs on Monday....

something about not being happy with the courtesy car was mentioned? [emoji848]

Matt thinks he knows who is after him... But surely it was an unpremeditated accident, unless it was Justin in which case it was opportunistic but still unpremeditated. It seems unlikely Matt's unsavoury colleagues would know he would be wandering drunkenly down the road towards Grey Gables asking to be run over. My money is on Justin, or Lily. But it will probably turn out to be no one we know and be totally pointless.

While I'm at it, anyone else find the constant reference to "the herd" at Brookfield irritating? As in "the herd looks well"??? Surely you would say "the cows look well" or "the milkers". To me, the herd is the entire herd- milkers and followers, and in conversation would be "the dairy herd" if differentiating from "the beef herd" Never just the herd in it's own - it could be a herd of elephants for all we know!! They never call the sheep "the flock"...

There is much about Brookfield about which to be irritated.

Mainly the fact that they speak Welsh all the time.

The bad boy in PYC is my neighbour. He's such a nice chap that I can't believe in him when he's acting the hard man.

You're all wrong , it was just some random driver that swerved to avoid hitting a Lynx

Everyone always checks the ewes as well, never the sheep.

Used to drive me mad when Bert used to refer to the YOUNG STOCK (two separate words with equal emphasis on both words) Doesn't everyone else refer to YOUNGstock (said as one word with emphasis on young).
