Hello you spooky smashers.

A huge thank you and welcome to our newest Patreon members: Rachel, Jennifer and ANOTHER Rachel.

Halloween is upon us again and you know what that means around these parts.

Thrilling stuff aside we pop in to the newly reopened Brookfield B&B, Monty and Lynda relive the good old days and there's a spectral sequel on at Felpersham Orpheus.

We even threw in an old classic ad after the end.

Trick or treat...

• Trunk Call: Martyn is bed blocked by Vince.
• Gale Prat: Rex weathers his self-imposed storm.
• Fear of The Quark : Keira dodges Physics (maybe).

A huge thank you and welcome to our newest members of the Cider Shed patreon posse : Anna and Abigail.

This week we'd like to say a huge thank you and welcome to our newest Patreon members : Sea Swimming Selkie and Becky Sheaves.

Join us as we take a front row seat for Alan's moving eulogy, Eddie is in the charts again, the AI Vetbots rise up against Ambridge and Russ (not that one) throws the best party Borsetshire has ever seen.

We've run up the following on our vet bill :

• Permission Granted : Fallon plays the keyboardist.
• Apple Families : The Gordons shed their inhibitions.
• Barking Mad : Helen isn't feeling the Lovell James.

Welcome back Secondhand Surfboard and big thanks to Matthew for the upgrade.

We're back in the saddle this week, calling up the latest Ambridge helpline, plotting who we can ban from our wedding, testing the limits of the village shop and checking out the canine attraction Martyn's planning.

We've put the following names in the hat :

• Post-Pop Shop : George nips out for the bear necessities.
• Field of Dreams : Martyn takes Lynda's lead.
• In The Name of The Great-Great Grandfather : It's a 'no' to Joe though.

As Matthew was on the road this week, we've gone back and had a listen to the omnibus in which Monty first dogwalked into Ambridge.

Elsewhere you'll find us discussing Harrison and Fallon falling out over plastic, Alistair and Shula in their truly awkward era and Christine playing a blinder in the tearoom.

Oh, and some minor stuff about Brian poisoning The Am. No biggie.

Hope you enjoy the classic ad medley too.

You can listen to the omnibus here for reference :

A massive shout-out to our four new members : Heidi, Matt, Jim and Mimi, plus a big welcome back to Secondhand Surfboard. LOVE!

The alarm systems are going mental as anything, Martyn's got The Arse for three weeks and Keri will probably never speak to me again when she hears how I edited the Fantasy Football end of season round up.

In the mental incapacity clause :

• Monties Revenge : Tom drives Helen back.
• Exchange and Martyn : Ian trades ideas with The Gibson.
• Sacked in the Morning : Brian farms Adam out.

Join us this week as we line up our school places, Adam finds his heart of darkness and Ian reads his latest reviews.

Let's do the scoring :

• School's Out : Natasha won't lower herself to the Loxley.
• Midwife Crisis : Kirsty + Kate = simply amazing.
• Home Brewing : Adam continues to be an arse.

A big thank you and welcome to our seven new Patreon members : Caroline, Jo, Rachel, Louise, Justin, Dave, AND a much welcomed back, returning birthday girl, Zizi.

Very much a pod of two halves this week, as most of our pre-Friday record was despairing of the week in Ambridge up to that point.

However, as Keri suspected, all that changed on Friday evening.

So, we fired the mics back up on Saturday and gave the Home Farm board meeting the respect it deserves.

We'd like to raise the following :

• Laurels and Hardass : Moving out doesn't grab Carol.
• Land-ed gentry : Adam fails to ruin the life of Brian.
• Bit Mental : ENOUGH with the PSA shite, please.

Join us this week as we rise and shine with a new brand of cereal, we discover what actually happened to Xander's banana and the Battling Bulls get catty on the outfield.

We'd like to invest shadily in the following :

• Praise the Nord : Erik has Ambridge in creases.
• Brad or Trad? : Amber views George's antisocials.
• Craig's List : Ian manages to fail upwards. Again.

A huge thank you and welcome to our new Patreon members : Lila, Simon, Frances, Annie and Frank.

This week we take you up the Ambridge Mile, Tony tries his hand at WWE on the green, Tom pulls some old Bridge Farm bangers out for his set at Beckwell Garden Centre and all our 'high' expectations about the barn party prove to be totally misplaced, sadly.

In the Pre Nup :

• Sowing The Seeds of Bruv : Tony freaks out brother Pryor.
• Crawl Intentions : Alice and Rex join the mile high club.
• Career Arc : Is Ruairi ageing like a fine swine?
• Barn Storm : Zach eggs Josh on

Well, what a week in Ambridge. Keri and Matthew do their detective best with this one, even requiring an 11th hour add on after our initial reaction.

A big thank you and welcome to our new Patreon members, Paul, Rachel, Frances and David.

This week there's a new drop of wine around the Brookfield dinner table, a healthy snack to lower your spirits and a smashing new aftershave doing the rounds.

You're all getting the following in the will :

• Brookfield Beef : The Eldest daughter pips the others to the farm.
• On the Record : Did Brian console George?
• Mane and Maintain : Chelsea thinks inside the box.

Thanks for all your support.
