    You might have to shout a little louder than that, Vicky. Adam's
    adoptive father has been under the ground for at least two years.

    Let this be a lesson for you all!

    I checked the BBC, I checked Wikipedia and then I asked Google AI
    which told me:

    Roger Travers-Macy, the first husband of Jennifer Aldridge in
    The Archers, died in January 2023. His death was marked by a dedicated
    BBC article titled "A light goes out in Ambridge" published on January
    25, 2023. The character was married to Jennifer from 1969 to 1976 and
    was the father of Adam Macy.
    Key Details:

    Death Date: Reported around January 25, 2023.
    Significance: He was a major character from Jennifer's past who
    returned for an affair while she was married to Brian Aldridge.
    Family: Father to Adam Macy

    (The "Light goes out in Ambridge" text up there has a hyperlink to the
    BBC article)

    Okay, so I didn't actually read every line of the linked article once
    I'd pulled it up but at least it actually existed..

    ...trouble is, when I did read all of it -just now- it said nothing
    about Travers-Macy's death at all.

    I've been hallucinatified!

    Sorry all! To see through the perils of trusting AI you've got to be a
    lot smarter than I've been just now.

    That seems to be what has happened to 168-180 people, mostly school
    children, in Iran.
