I just got around to writing about the Archers spin-off Ambridge Extra, and suddenly the BBC also-ran is on hiatus.

An announcement at the end of the 26th semi-weekly episode says it’s the last… for a while” and that it would return sometime “in the autumn.”
Ultimately, the show dealt with its disagreeable, unformed supporting characters by putting them all in the hospital. The fact that it was so easy to corral them shows how unconscionably uncluttered this show has been all along.
