Now we're limbering up for the first anniversary of Nigel's ill-advised teeter along the ridge tiles, I thought it was high time this gem was returned to the top of the charts.

Wasn't that a storming performance by Sharern, mother of Koyloi and the yet-to-be-unveiled Rich the other night? Quite how Koyloi turned out to be such a charming young lady is a mystery, spawned from loins of aggravated-manslaughterer Cloive Horrobin, but we'll give that to the nurture-over-nature brigade and the steady stepfatherhood of the equally-yet-to-be-unveiled Eamon.

And just while I'm getting a year's worth of Ambridge conspiracy theories off me chest, who agrees with me that the Bridge Farm salmonella disaster was in fact caused by Sewzerne, and not that poor 'dirty woman' Clarroi? Another sleeper, that one, mark my words....

BBC Radio 4 news said there were 'life-changing events' for two of the major characters, Helen and Nigel - which suggests he isn't dead, or it would be life-changing for his family rather than him, what with the death duties they'd have to pay. Maybe he'll be in a wheelchair and they can have lots of 'public information' about 'disability'.

After all that build up it seems a silly story, two grown men doing something really stupid and presumably killing Nigel (and possibly David).

I thought Helen was a lesbian way back when she was being mysterious about her love life before she revealed that the secret lover was Greg - I was convinced it would turn out to be a girlfriend.

My partner has the idea that Helen will have her baby, and it will turn out the donor sperm was mislabelled, and the baby will be black.
My guess is the death of a big charcter, like Nigel, or Debbie might be finally written off.
I'd like Susan and Linda to run off with Helen, to live in a lesbian menage a trois.

The trailers are promising something spectacular this evening - "Ambridge will never be the same again . . ."

My guess is Helen will miscarry, Tony will be unable to hide his delight, and the field will be open for Ian to become a daddy.

Any other suggestions?

Lots of the characters are made to do things alien to their normal behaviour, in order to further the scripts.
Some of the plot devices are so clunky it makes you wince.

Is it just me or are the scripts getting more and more trite and stilted? They sound like they're being written by an eldely maiden aunt living in sheltered accomodation in Cheltenham Spa who really needs to get out more. Real people just don't talk like that!

It's been so obvious from the start, not only has Ian know all about Helen's plans from the start, he's already been screened prior to his previous abortive (Sorry didn't intend that)attempt with Maggs.

But last time it came to nothing - just anguish and disappointment. This time it could be successful, and they could by-pass the clinic and save Helen a load of money.

Or maybe they could just have Helen making arrangements over the 'phone and not let on who she's talking to, then they could play 'Guess the Father' like they did years back with Jennifer.

All a load of bollocks these stories, they are invented by Vanessa Whitburn. Actually Matt and Lilian are fine, going through a spot of bother but taking it on the chin, as are the rest of the cast, Shula still goes to church, Mike's new lady is getting on extremely well with Brenda, Jazzer is still using his own accent instead of the recently added cail-yardery, and Brian is not actually at all curious about what he feels about the rest of the inhabitatants feelings about their feelings about other peoples' feelings.
