Did Jack Archer, Peggy's first husband, ever have an affair (or rather was leaning towards an affair, it was in the 1950s I think) with the local school teacher? I have this vague memory of Peggy sending her packing, but I could be wrong.

Can't remember the details DJQ but she was called Elsie Catcher.

Yess! That was the name, but I don't think they had a fully fledged affair, just they were showing inappropriate feelings towards each other, or perhaps it was all on Jack's side.

I don't think they had a fully fledged affair, it was on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú radio in the 1950s after all. Jack was on his own in the village, as I recall, and Peggy hurried back when she got news of it. So it may have been when they moved back from Cornwall. On the other had the move to Cornwall may have been a result of this, to get him away from Elsie Catcher.
I'm sure Rosie will have all the details at her finger tips.

Pending Rosie finding this thread with the real story...
TBOTA suggests that this happened was just after Jack took over at the Bull in early '53 when Peggy was in Felpersham Hospital recovering from diptheria, but was otherwise along the lines discussed.
And also Elsie Catcher was played by the other Peggy (Thelma Rogers) and the late Julia (Mary Wimbush) until she retired in 1967.
