    Bert's Back & Nobody's Happy, Ian's Lady Macbeth Moment & the Borchester Show Countdown | Archers Week in Review

    It's just Philippa this week — flying solo while Quentin represents the podcast at Katie and Simon's wedding. Huge congratulations to the happy couple. Bert is back from Clive's and he is worse than ever. Philippa has many thoughts, none of them positive. Meanwhile Ian is doing a full Lady Macbeth behind Adam's back, visiting Alice when he thought Adam would be out, and Philippa is genuinely worried about what he might do next. Adam, remarkably, is the voice of reason this week. Tony digs up something in the garden that turns out not to be the time capsule and not to be worth very much either. Chris has a year to wait for his flat. Brian makes Welsh rarebit. And the Borchester Show is almost here. Plus: why Tracey needs to find her inner strength and let Bert go, the mystery of where Bert's money has gone, whether Fallon might prefer life with Chris to life with Harrison, Keira standing up for herself, and some very strong feelings about butterfly farms in a heatwave. Star of the Week, Twit of the Week, highly accurate predictions, and a special clip from Katie and Quentin at the wedding at the end of the YouTube version. Topics covered: Bert | Tracey Fuller | Susan Carter | Neil Carter | Adam Macy | Ian Thornton | Alice Carter | Brian Aldridge | Tony Archer | Chris Carter | Fallon Rogers | Keira | Borchester Show | The Archers July 2026 SUPPORT ALL ABOUT THE ARCHERS: You can BUY US A COFFEE here: buymeacoffee.com/allaboutthearchers You can buy our MERCH here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/aboutthearchers/shop Do join our FACEBOOK Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1127587031446013/  Hosted on Acast.

    Lucy Speed on Playing Stella Pryor — "She's Comfortable in Her Own Skin"

    Philippa sits down with Lucy Speed, who plays Stella Pryor in The Archers, for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about one of Ambridge's most compelling more recent additions. Lucy talks about what drew her to Stella from the very beginning — a career-minded, self-assured woman who doesn't need to match anyone else's energy. They discuss how Stella has navigated the ready-made family that came with Pip, the hesitancy around the baby conversation, and why Lucy thinks Stella's calm isn't a performance but something genuinely earned through life experience. Also covered: Stella's complex dynamic with Brian and why she never rose to his bait, what it means to represent women who are strong without fanfare, whether Stella would ever want to return to farming, the possibility of menopause storylines, and Lucy's own experiences playing long-running characters in The Bill and EastEnders. Plus Lucy's role in Heartstopper, a very important biscuit debate involving Tunnock's Caramel Bars and party rings, and part two with listener questions from the Facebook group coming in two weeks. Topics covered: Stella Pryor | Pip Archer | Brian Aldridge | Lucy Speed | The Bill | EastEnders | Heartstopper | Farm inheritance | The Archers 2026 SUPPORT ALL ABOUT THE ARCHERS: You can BUY US A COFFEE here: buymeacoffee.com/allaboutthearchers You can buy our MERCH here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/aboutthearchers/shop Do join our FACEBOOK Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1127587031446013/  Hosted on Acast.

    Dog Attack Carnage, Brian's Bad Week & Adam's Dangerous Game with George | Archers Week in Review

    Philippa, Katie and Quentin are back for the week in Ambridge — Sunday 14th to Tuesday 16th June — and it has been a dramatic one. A savage dog attack on Brookfield's sheep leaves 15 dead and more injured, David losing it at Brian over warning signs, and the friendship between the two men looking badly damaged. Meanwhile Adam manipulates George into revealing more about the night of the accident — but what is he planning to do with that information? Could he push George into going to the police himself? And would Brian go further than anyone expects to protect Ruairi? Also this week: Kate has a stunning week — handling Brian, supporting Kirsty and knocking heads together with real Jenny-esque authority. Brian gets a double ouch from both Oliver and David. George and Amber get the Grundy baby cart out. Ian double-books the quiz. And all three hosts independently land on the same Star of the Week, which has never happened before. Plus Star of the Week, Twit of the Week, predictions — and Quentin has a foreboding feeling about Jim Lloyd. Topics covered: Dog attack | Brookfield sheep | Brian Aldridge | Adam Macy | George Grundy | Kate Aldridge | Kirsty Miller | Ian Thornton | Jim Lloyd | Amber | Home Farm | The Archers June 2025 ou can BUY US A COFFEE here: buymeacoffee.com/allaboutthearchers You can buy our MERCH here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/aboutthearchers/shop Do join our FACEBOOK Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1127587031446013/  Hosted on Acast.

    Tracy's Dilemma, Pip's Bombshell & the Home Farm Chaos Continues | Archers Week in Review

    Philippa and Quentin (broadcasting heroically from a Cornwall campsite) dive into the week in Ambridge so far — Sunday 7th to Tuesday 9th June. This week: Tracy is being courted by Helen for a job at Bridge Farm but is she making a terrible mistake? Helen's empathy-free approach to management gets full scrutiny. Jack's school drama raises questions about whether Helen's version of events adds up. Kirsty's 12-week scan brings relief. Jim turns 87 and embraces an e-reader. Pip assumes Stella is on board with babies — Stella is very much not saying that. And Brian and Adam continue their magnificent shared delusion at Home Farm, with the crucial Beil land contract hanging in the balance. Plus: Star of the Week, Twit of the Week, predictions for the T20 trip to Edgbaston, and Philippa makes an unprompted recommendation for the Kobo e-reader. Topics covered: Tracy Horrobin | Helen Archer | Bridge Farm | Jim Lloyd | Pip Archer | Stella | Home Farm | Brian Aldridge | Adam Macy | Kirsty Miller | T20 Edgbaston | The Archers June 2026 Watch, follow & support All About The Archers ▶️ Watch on YouTube: All About The Archers ☕ Support the podcast: Buy us a coffee 🛍️ Merch: All About The Archers on Redbubble 💬 Join the community Facebook Group: All About The Archers 📸 Follow us on social media Instagram & Threads: @aboutthearchers TikTok: @allaboutthearchers X: @AboutTheArchers Bluesky: allaboutthearchers.bsky.social 📧 Email: quickbookreviews@outlook.com Hosted on Acast.
