*The Archers thread

[Manter]

George is convinced that Ed (not Will) is trying to poison Holly, having seen Ed with poisoned bait for rats.

Ffs. Stupid child.

E2a I always get the grumpy grundy brothers confused. They both have really whiny, put upon voices too! Grr

Oh yes, that was it.

 

[wiskey]

Pity George is wise to rat poison... Less chance of him eating it.

"Susan's won the jackpot".

As obvious a plot line as could be imagined. But at least done superbly by Joe.

I'm loving the Peggy will/Tony story line. I think it's propah Archers: they always have one every so often about the tension between the young whippersnappers and the fathers they are supplanting, (going all the way back to Dan Archer), but this one is with added maternal/son angst. Excellent.

He is vile, isn't he?

I keep wondering how he'll turn out.
He's even more pandered to than Freddy, and that's a lot of pandering.

They remembered to mention cows today. I do like it when they talk about farming stuff, if they can get Jim to fill airspace reciting poetry then they should have more discussions on actual farming.

I don't like the new Tony though, his voice jars.

 

[TikkiB]

Precisely, the whole point of listening to the Archers is to learn just enough about farming to be able to make sense of Farming Today when I have to get up early to go to the flower market.

New Tony is growing on me, a bit. We probably need a dollop of Pip to provide contrast.

 

[wiskey]

No! We really really don't

 

[TikkiB]

I'm sorry, I have no idea what just came over me.....

So whilst I'm more than a little surprised that the fine upstanding Archer family have just accepted Hellin & Rob shacking up together I can't get over none of them mentioning that His wife only left a month ago Peggy giving it her blessing is baffling... My Nanny would be livid!

 

[susie12]

He's creepy. "I'm going to take care of Helen". Yes, and her big house.

 

[a_chap]

The new actor doing Tony still hasn't perfected the required irritating, whiny, self-pitying voice yet.

i've seen the plot outlines and peggy has an affair with rob in 3 months

 

[TikkiB]

Oh no! Hazel Woolley is the new landlord of the Grundy's place! It's going to be the ferret killing all over again.

 

[Manter]

Aaaargh, Helen is just.... Aaaaargh

 

[weltweit]

Wondering what has become of Darryl?
I have probably missed some episodes but I haven't heard much about him.

Eddie and some of the others have been doing up a van for him to live in.

 

[davesgcr]

The Tuckers are also keeping a low profile. Thank God

 

[A380]

Is Rob going to be a pedophile? They haven't had one yet and seem to be chasing EastEnders on the misery front.

 

[Manter]

God Hellin is self absorbed. And entitled. And contrary.

 

[Shirl]

Urgh, Rob and Helen and Henry in bed. It was all a bit too much

 

[wayward bob]

"are you getting in between us henry?" heh those two really deserve each other...

 

[weltweit]

On the bright side, haven't heard much of whingeing Pip in a while!!



Always look on the bright side of life
de dum, de dum de dum de dum

 

[wiskey]

so, how many families does rob have?

I was just coming in to say that! I bet this is a two families thing...

What did I miss?

 

[wiskey]

What did I miss?

Rob is 'too tired' to drive back from his meeting so he's going to kip in a hotel overnight ...

Oh good. Helen heading for a fall. Again.
Serves her right for being so annoying.
