Daily Mail Weekend Magazine Archers Update May 26-31
Villainy grips Ambridge, with dodgy dealings behind every hedgerow, and no family entirely innocent of wrongdoing. This week, however, offers hope to flame-haired PC Burns that the law maybe winning. A vital clue emerges about the bunting theft, and the fearless constable arranges a stakeout.
As Burns wages his war against badly organised crime, Jill goes on the trail of a mysterious young woman found wandering round Brookfield, and a desperate attempt is made to tame Hilda, the ‘beast of Ambridge’.
