*The Archers thread

[Manter]

wow you guys know your stuff! i genuinely hadn't read all this conspiracy stuff into it. i shall listen more intently in future. mind still not made up about Rob mind you.

I've been on mat leave- occasional listening has become regular as clockwork

 

[belboid]

But wasn't she just projecting? The conversations you heard him have with his wife, and when she turned up.... Dunno, didn't sound like a loveless trap to me. More like him trying to have the proverbial eaten cake

oh, absolutely. But you could see where she was coming from. Peggy wasn't privy to those conversations between Rob & Angie, of course.

 

[RedDragon]

I stopped listening for 15 years and was still able to workout what was what within a month.

 

[dolly's gal]

oh, and what's your opinion on the police man who everyone seems to be obsessed with?

 

[belboid]

dull as fuck. Fallon is far too good for him.

 

[susie12]

Something that puzzles me about the Archers is some of the weird names that just don't, well, exist. Fallon? Shula? Kenton?

 

[TikkiB]

He's shagging the wrong person to get an in at Brookfield.

Oops, Bridge Farm!

 

[TikkiB]

as a newbie, i have to say, i quite like rob. who is the one that everyone's up in arms about cos he's moved in with a woman with a kid and he used to be married? is that rob too?

Noo, Rob is a Cad and a Bounder.

 

[TikkiB]

thy didnt all have TB, and it was undetectable at time of purchase. Not his fault at all.

Peggy knows nothing about anything. She just has money.

Peggy's a racist too, remember her comments about Usha .

good point!

I know two fallons and a kenton.

 

[wiskey]

Peggy is ghastly and is constantly upstaged by Jill in the nice grandma stakes.

Tony is clearly screwed up by his mother.... Tom is screwed up by his father.

I do think they should just sell the pigs though.

 

[wiskey]

I think David might be my current favourite character, he's one of the very few who manage to sound genuinely happy.

he didn't last night. Tho not as bad as Rooth, of course. Whose scream was a near prefect cross between Kirsty and Nigel's.

I like Adam and Ian

e2a and Usha and the vicar

 

[TikkiB]

Ruth's scream was ridiculous. I'd like to think she's a bit more resilient than that made her sound.

Shame the road can't go through Bridge Farm and put Tony's family out of their misery.

Now there's an idea!

good lord, when was that? in the '80s?

 

[TikkiB]

good lord, when was that? in the '80s?

Can't remember when but possibly yes. I think it was when Usha first came to the village. (I've been listening to the Archers for eons but I can never match up events in Ambridge with real time.)

 

[Manter]

I am quite bored of the road already. And David has said the storyline could go on for months. Aaargh

twas later than that. usha only arrived in 1990, Roy (for it was he) carried out the racist attacks in 1995, and i think Peggy was being really really horrid to and about her around the time she (Usha) got married to Alan - so only 6 years ago. She had been horrid before that as well, but not as much - tho I may just have forgotten those bits.

Will David & Ruth end up chained to trees I wonder?

I think you are right it was when they got married and she was really vicious

I bet Linda Snell will

 

[a_chap]

The return of the Matt.

Me wonders what part he'll have to play in the current crop of OTT plot lines.

 

[pennimania]

Peggy wasn't too keen on Kate's relationship with Lucas either iirc.

Shula was vile about Usha marrying the vicar and so was Susan Carter.

He will sus out Rob for the wrong un he is. Takes one to spot one.

i fear this will mean more of Pip and her whiny voice.
