*The Archers thread

[wiskey]

So, Roy & Caroline Elizabeth

 

[Manter]

Eek!

 

[a_chap]

Indeed.

 

[Shirl]

So, Roy & Caroline....

Was Caroline in it tonight? I was only half listening, I thought it was Roy and Elizabeth

Yes sorry that's who I meant.

 

[trashpony]

Is it me or are loads of the characters behaving in a totally out of character way at the moment? And why isn't anyone mentioning the fact that Rob is married someone else?!

It's one of the most irritating programmes on R4. They should move it, along with You and Yours, and the like to R1.

What? no!

That's been going on for a while. Remember Jolene's odd behaviour a few months ago? I hate when series do this. I haven't listened to last nights yet but I can't believe Roy or Elizabeth would ever forget the fact of Roy's marriage.

Yes I do remember Jolene.

The Roy/Elizabeth storyline is particularly ridiculous

Loving Pulp playing in the background on the way to the festival! sparklefish you should listen to this episode to get festival hints and tips

Was it as cringey as it sounds?

 

[Manter]

Yeah, her stressing about the festival and over packing, and exclaiming about the energy when she gets there.... It's pretty dire

 

[TikkiB]

I don't think I can bear to listen now. Grrr, I do hate it when TA does this. I'm still only just getting over Nigel, and the family feud that wasn't.

 

[Manter]

I'm just massively, massively bored by route B

 

[wiskey]

 

[Shirl]

Jesus

 

[Shirl]

I might have to stop listening after that load of absolute pants!

 

[Manter]

Eyw

 

[trashpony]

FFS nothing has swayed my devotion to TA for 20 odd years but I think that may be about to change

I will continue to put it on out of habit and then complain about it

That was awful. Really really awful.

Written by someone who only went to Glastonbury when it appeared on The Sunday Times Top Ten Things To Do 2005.

What's also really getting on my tits is the way they're getting ideas for a festival that's supposed to be happening in 2 months. How ridiculous. I know nothing about festival organising but even I know that it takes a bit longer than that

I did like the 'oh we'll have to have an arts trail through the arboretum too' comment... like you buy these things off the peg.

 

[a_chap]

Neither of them seemed to give even the merest passing thought to Hayley (sp?)

 

[wiskey]

But that's what happens at festivals, you walk through the arboretum arts trail, you dance to something awful, you fall over a bit and then you shag someone inappropriate....

...oh

 

[TikkiB]

So the woman who was stressing about the whole idea of spending a night in a tent is about to do the dirty in one. What about contraception, eh?

I know Lizzie was quite wild in her youth but ffs, this is ridiculous.

 

[madamv]

It was like listening to Rod Jane and Freddie does a festival. And the ending... Bleurgh...

 

[susie12]

We don't know if anything happened yet - hopefully Roy had a moment of intelligence. Long shot, I know.
