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 2025ou can BUY US A COFFEE here: buymeacoffee.com/allaboutthearchersYou can buy our MERCH here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/aboutthearchers/shopDo 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 2026Watch, 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 communityFacebook Group: All About The Archers📸 Follow us on social mediaInstagram & Threads: @aboutthearchersTikTok: @allaboutthearchersX: @AboutTheArchersBluesky: allaboutthearchers.bsky.social📧 Email: quickbookreviews@outlook.com Hosted on Acast.

Andrew Wincott on Playing Adam Macy — "I've Been Waiting 20 Years for This Story"
Philippa sits down with Andrew Wincott, who plays Adam Macy in The Archers, for a deep dive into one of the most gripping storylines the show has had in years. Recorded on 2 June 2025 — so buckle up, more may have happened since.They discuss: why Andrew saw this succession story coming two decades ago; whether Adam is a principled farmer or a series of spectacular failures; what it was like to record the extraordinary four-person partnership meeting episode; Brian's King Lear qualities; the bombshell "you are not my children" moment; how much Adam really wants this for Xander; and whether Ian's advice has made things better or worse.Plus — Adam's ideal biscuit. It's darker than you think.Part two, with listener questions from the Facebook group, follows in two weeks.Topics covered: Adam Macy | Brian Aldridge | Home Farm succession | Debbie Aldridge | Partnership meeting episode | Jennifer's legacy | Sustainable farming | The Archers 2025Contact the team: quickbookreviews@outlook.com Hosted on Acast.

Brian's Last Stand, Bubble Wrap Dreams & Rex Finds His Voice
This week in Ambridge (Sunday 31st May – Tuesday 2nd June), Philippa and Katie dig into the drama at Home Farm, where Alice is clutching at straws and Ed Grundy gets an unexpected job offer. Rex has a week of two very distinct halves — overdoing it with Alice's sobriety, then absolutely finding his voice with Brian in a way nobody saw coming. Stella makes a welcome return, and her honest chat with Brian is a highlight of the week.Tom and Natasha are officially bad at money. A climate-controlled bubble wrap greenhouse (starting at £50k, going up to a cool million), boots on eBay, and a passing suggestion to sell the business — it's not looking good. Meanwhile, Martyn's enthusiasm for management speak gives Ian a headache, but their relationship edges forward.Plus: biscuits get the appreciation they deserve, Ed might win the Borchester Show, and Philippa has seen the cast list for later this week and isn't saying a word.Stars and twits of the week, predictions, and the news that the interview with Andrew (who plays Adam) is out this weekend — and it's a corker.Coming soon: the second half of the Adam interview with your Facebook questions.Topics covered:Home Farm: Brian, Alice, Ed and the staffing crisisRex and Alice's sobriety storylineStella's return and her frank conversation with BrianTom and Natasha's financial disasters (climate greenhouse, eBay boots, private school)Ian and Martyn's management-speak clashStar of the Week: Rex / StellaTwitch of the Week: Martin / TomPredictions: Brian's collapse, Tom and Natasha going bust, the Borchester Show Hosted on Acast.
