The Archers episode spotlights Scrabble scene, broken hip and memory concerns

Oh good oh a broken hip can finish an old person off and I’ve had enough of Carol #TheArchers

Might be best for everyone. Life is making her very unhappy and she is making her daughter and everyone else unhappy. #TheArchers

At her age, she’s probably going to find the physio after the op absolutely brutal isn’t she? I suppose the rehab teams will be used to dealing with uncooperative intransigent senior citizens, but in the case of Carol I don’t envy them their job #Thearchers

I knew mum wouldn’t get any better but in my mind I kept thinking she would, it’s weird. The frustration is hard to keep down. #TheArchers

Sounds like I'm going to have a load of explanatory notes tattooed on my arse #TheArchers

“Mother, you’re just not the person you used to be.” “I suppose that’s true; I used to be Eleanor Bron, but the BBC can’t get her to come back into the role.” #TheArchers

A friend is just going through this with a relative. Kept getting exasperated with the forgetfulness but not wanting to face up to the reason. Now there's been an official diagnosis they're coping with it a lot better. #TheArchers

Have to say if Carol's care package is assessed and put in place really quickly that will be on a par with the rubber walls of many houses in #thearchers

Oh my goodness! I was so thinking that! Broken Hip - pneumonia - DNAR listing - 'old person's friend. #TheArchers

Do people still play scrabble? I’ve brought up backgammon to people and they have no idea what it is. #thearchers

I was scrolling through and wondered when I was going to get to the biscuit posts. I would like to know what those posh biscuits were. Chocolate hobnobs? Or those French chocolate biscuits that I can’t remember the name of. Bielsen? #TheArchers

Most recent batch of details & credits: Emma and (a seemingly uncredited) Ed are back but oddly no Keira. You’d think the SWs would want scenes with Keira & Emma as soon as possible. Brian, Adam, Ian & Freddie also back but no Ruairi. #TheArchers

The Book of The Archers makes all things clear. The smallholding was owned by Dan, but run by Jack. #TheArchers

Whoah! And what about those of us who are out drinking on a school night? #TheArchers.

Yes, I am imagining a Muslim version of The Archers. The Akbars. What could possibly go wrong
