Yes. Colin Skipp retired earlier this month and has been replaced by David Troughton. Agree about Helen.

I was just going to post how good I thought the new tony is.
I cannot agree about Helen - every show needs a baddie. I love it when Helen and Emma get their comeuppance.
Yes...David Troughton, son of "Doctor Who" Patrick Troughton. I remember him in Alan Ayckbourn's The Norman Conquests on the Beeb years ago.

Available on DVD !
Helen & Emma are not baddies, they're just a bit flaky especially Helen. Now, if you want a real baddie go no further than Jack's adoptive daughter the toxic Hazel.
Its been a long time since we heard from Hazel, Is my memory deceiving me or didn't she used to be a Policewoman > Or was that somebody else ?

As an aside, 30ish years ago I used to date Colins niece, met him a few times, pleasant guy!
Wasn't toxic Hazel referred to as Jack's only blood relation? It surprised me as I thought she was adopted.
As for Helen, I think she'll get short shrift from Peggy when they meet up, but I do think she should stay, every village needs its idiot!
Where is Joleen these days ? Its been ages since we last heard from her. I can remember the time when most of the story lines in the Archers used to originate in the Bull.
I still wince at the memory of Jolene & Sid in the shower ...

I quite like a good wince once in a while, especially with the buxom Jolene !
Why doesn't Jill just move in with David and Ruth and get it over and done with ? They desperately need help and she's great cook ! She would feel more secure as well...simples !
I knew that Rob was a untrustworthy beggar !
