Thanks! They both look lovely (although not remotely how I picture them) #TheArchers

I think his mum pretty much forced him to work for Vince... #TheArchers

The Trustees should have insisted he work as a trainee to learn the ropes, not chuck him in the deep end. Instead Lizzie has kept him working for her boyfriend in an irrelevant job. #TheArchers

060

Well Lizzie had practice with Nigel.... #TheArchers

Why is Vince so down on Freddie? If he's not a trustee he can bog off #TheArchers

Kiera explains it's not a real unicorn #TheArchers

Is it so strange that Josh isn't travelling thousands of miles for a wedding? #TheArchers

I bought the CD years ago from the Kew shop, still one of my favourites

And most GPs would not live in the place they work, of be friends with patients. #TheArchers

Alan sometimes overestimates his abilities beyond what is sensible (I know he means well). Presumably vicars have some kind of regular 'best practice ' training like other professions? #TheArchers

Almost as if they're trying to convince themselves they're madly in love. #TheArchers

I thought Stella was quite interesting before she fell for Pip. #TheArchers

Coming after a long period of worry about a stubborn parent living on her own and avoiding help. #TheArchers

040

Well it was slightly better than Alan shouting at her to "calm down!" #TheArchers

Usha is unconvincing as a go-between. #TheArchers

Monty and the sheep - Ruth showed Khalil the pictures on her phone. #TheArchers

In-laws rarely make it through the Ambridge force field. #TheArchers

I've heard it sung loudly at women's rugby internationals - nice enough but hardly a banger and I can't imagine dancing to it. #TheArchers

I was in the high 90s until a shocker in the 5th round

110

I agree it's sad, but perhaps vicars are the profession more than any others that is always "on the job". #TheArchers

I don't think Carol was near that level of friendship with Alan. His relationship with her (since she returned as a character recently) has been very much that of a priest and a parishioner (church attender or not), however friendly. #TheArchers

100

The opposite - they don't (or shouldn't). #TheArchers

100

He befriended her as a vicar - I wouldn't imagine vicars can drop their professional standards for friends ( like doctors, or teachers). #TheArchers

110

Won't Carol's account be frozen? Anna would have to set up an executors' account. #TheArchers

240

I'm beginning to wonder how much support he has been getting from the diocese. Do vicars have regular appraisals or mentoring? #TheArchers

He doesn't need forgiving, but he really needs to reflect on how he got into this mess, which is largely his own fault. #TheArchers

230

I wonder if the Bishop would say that's a sensible thing for a parish priest to do - too open to error and misinterpretation. #TheArchers

120

Trouble is, he wasn't advised, he just thinks he knows best. I'm sure vicars have safeguarding training. #TheArchers

120

Of course it wasn't malign, but Alan's desire to Do Everything often overrides his common sense. As others have said here you don't get involved financially with parishioners esp the vulnerable ones. #TheArchers

160

Why didn't he help Carol order the flowers herself? Much simpler. #TheArchers

260

Why didn't he help Carol put her card details in to order the flowers? Why did he have to do it himself? #TheArchers

220

Alan had better print out his bank statement ASAP, if he knows how #TheArchers

140

I'm sure that's how this is going to go. Doesn't excuse Alan's incompetence though. #TheArchers

Terrible thing to say to a bereaved daughter. #TheArchers

150

You're right Alan, you should have read the room. #TheArchers

He arrived in 2003. Quite a long stint in one parish. #TheArchers

230

Absolutely - he hasn't been an accountant for years but would he really be so vague and naive about money? #TheArchers

220

Thanks - makes even less sense that Alan agreed to help her then, if he's as unfamiliar with tech stuff as he claimed yesterday. But I've known men who feel flattered by being asked to sort things out for people... #TheArchers
