`Well, this feels very Wrong. Friday night, with no TA. I am clearly a creature of habit, because I wouldn’t have said I look forward to the broadcasts, exactly - and after last night’s you really won’t need to puzzle too hard about that - but it is Something Missing.

It’s been an odd day altogether, and not particularly pleasant, and that is perhaps exacerbating the feeling of Wrongness.

It did, didn’t it? There is a feeling of Wrongness about everything at the moment. No Archers on Friday will also make it even harder than it is already to keep track of what day it actually is, I think. I’ve lost my grip on that altogether with TFD working from home over the last couple of weeks.

There’s no midday repeat of the Friday episode so slightly less disruption to the rest of the schedule. Any of the others would mean two slots to fill

Mind you, if it meant they could repeat some of the old hour-long Afternoon Plays…

Request to the SWs: "Please oh, please, less (much less) of TheSmells. The actors were pretty good, but the script is absolute shyte! …and please can you fit that bloody Joy character with a sodding volume-control! (…our collective ears deserve it!) (…see previous Larson cartoon!)

Ach leave Joy alone

She is a lonely soul who will in time be a pillar of the community

She is kind and up for any sort of fun - anyone who can keep up with da yoof as they are out for a night is a good sort

There’s a reason for that.
