    RT Review by David Crawford

    In all its venality, emotional blackmail and bitchiness, the Aldridge
    family feud is starting to feel like The Real Farmhouse Wives of
    Ambridge. This week, Brian is called out for hypocrisy, Adam is on the
    brink of giving up and Ian plays a shocking trump card. Like every other
    week, then.

    Will there be a special Archers cameo at the Borsetshire Show? WerCOre promised a surprising and high-ranking special guest, but their identity
    is under wraps. Place your bets now. Meanwhile, debates about supporting
    Bert see him pulled in two directions.

    Yes, clearly. But carolet and I weren't impressed - as it seems more
    like a genuine lack of knowledge of the difference between the two words
    (or, which would be far worse, an indication that someone doesn't care)
    - not what we expect from BBC Radio 4, Archers!

    We should strive to give up misprints for more than just lent.
