The death of Phil Archer marks the end of an Ambridge era but new life is on the way as Helen decides to enter single-motherhood, to the consternation of her father. The Brookfield Archers experience the joys of teenage children with love-sick Pip eventually being dumped over the phone and Josh being caught in the act of tagging with Jamie; in the wake of his father's death, Jamie gets into lots more trouble, his problems exacerbated by Kenton's split from Kathy. Of course Sid's death weighs most heavily on Jolene, who is finding life in Ambridge very difficult now, though newcomer Harry is most helpful and has made a big impression on Fallon too. Alice and Christopher marry in secret and Kate returns to wreak havoc in her usual fashion. Matt, released from prison, loses no time in putting one over on his 'friends' at Borchester Land.
2009
Ambridge events are dominated by Matt's business troubles; eventually sent down for fraud, he causes a temporary split from Lilian, a temporary rift between Tom and Brenda and almost derails Tom's plan to take his pigs away from Home Farm. TB troubles behind him, Oliver offers the Grange Farm tenancy to Ed. The Bridge Farm drainage scheme gets the go-ahead. Roy and Hayley move back to Ambridge into the newly divided Willow Farm and Mike fills the other half with a new other half, Vicky. Greg's daughter Annette arrives and moves in with Helen in her new flat above the shop, eventually being seduced by Helen's Australian barman, whose charms fool almost everybody. Shula feels it necessary to worship elsewhere and her father-in-law moves to Ambridge, keen to learn the village's murky secrets - especially hers. Peggy has to admit that she can no longer care for Jack at home, so he moves into The Laurels.
2008
Overviews of previous years may follow, as time permits (or volunteers come forward to write them!).
2007
What a year!
A classic year? You decide for yourself ...
1998
The year we bid farewell to John, Uncle Tom and Pru, greeted three additions to the clan; two by marriage and one newborn, and (probably) saw Nelson disappear over the horizon forever. And the year of the Sunday episode ...
1997
What happened in 1997? Simon Pemberton left, Josh arrived, Lizzie didn't have an affair (but Kate and Roy obviously had) and George was beaten up.
1996
The Grundy fire, Richard and Mrs Barraclough and Guy's death amongst other things.
The original summaries writer, Tim Reid, still has some of his summaries from 1995 available.
Not detailed enough for your query? Might I suggest that you visit Peter Hesketh's chronology, visit the newsgroup uk.media.radio.archers and pose the assembled multitude a question, or seek advice from print via my Archers books page (in association with Amazon.co.uk)?
