Radio Times Ambridge Diary Aug 19-24
It’s been one disaster after another for Elizabeth of late, but what reaction will she get when she asks the villagers for help? Will they come to her aid, or will she end up accepting support from someone she really shouldn’t?
The summer holidays are proving a strain for Helen - and with Henry’s behaviour becoming progressively worse, she’s soon facing another problem when a guilty Ian drops a bombshell.
With the cricket team numbers dwindling, one Ambridge resident finds herself unexpectedly recruited.
Fallon, meanwhile, is upset to discover the rumours circulating about Harrison and hatches a plan to save him from further strain.

Daily Mail Weekend Magazine Archers Update
Keep your head down if you’re visiting Ambridge this week. A press gang roams the lanes looking for players for the village cricket team, and the hot summer has hammered the pitch into a killing field.
The summer has also turned Henry, never our favourite child, into a fiend, and Helen has no idea what to do.
Elizabeth, also driven to her wits end by her son, finds herself leaning in a dangerous direction for support, while Jim - who, like most of us, has never been a Shula fan - offers support to his sullen son.
Rumours smoulder about flame haired Burns, which Fallon does her best to stamp out, while, as the Ambridge summer glowers on, one man keeps his cool and comes to the rescue - Oliver!
