*The Archers thread

[pennimania]

I'm not a fan of Jill but if that was my husband's garden that he'd tended lovingly for years I'd be devastated if some blow in rooted it up.

 

[davesgcr]

Charlie seemed very "relaxed - or pleased " in The Bull afterwards.....

Mate of mine assumed there was a latent "attraction" brewing here ......(he is not Gaydar trained - but a good judge of character)

 

[Shirl]

I'm looking forward to the end of the Archers and the rise of the Prudans

That's the price you when you become a landlady.

I'm with your mate. I'm not gaydar trained either but I reckon I have an ear for scriptwriters bringing in a gay storyline

So, Jill tells Ruth she can understand why Ruth's mum doesn't want to leave her home, and that she would never want to leave Ambridge, so Minutes later Ruth is hatching a plan to leave Ambridge?

 

[a_chap]

Quite

 

[madamv]

Yeah, I thought that too... And going on saying she had no choice. There's loads of choices. Hard ones, granted. But choices none the less....

 

[wiskey]

I'm surprised daveed is willing to leave his elderly mother any more than Ruth is.

 

[TikkiB]

I think they are toying with us - raising the idea that Archers might leave Bridge Farm.

Unless it's like when they turned Emmerdale Farm into Emmerdale and got rid of all the farm stuff?

 

[a_chap]

Showing your age there

 

[pennimania]

Why would going to the harvest supper ( with a 17 year old) sort out your marriage problems.

If I'd ever tried to drag one of my three to something like that it would probably have started divorce proceedings.

 

[wiskey]

I liked the way Hayley told him that 'bowling isn't going to solve this' so he chooses the village harvest supper instead

(where Elizabeth will probably be)

 

[pennimania]

Roy should suddenly have announced that he'd got glasto tickets. That might have cracked a smile on Pheebs' stony face.

After all, he's the great festy expert.

 

[wiskey]

Their harvest supper sounded SO DULL!

 

[belboid]

I'd forgotten what a little shit Elizabeth was when it came to the inheritance of the farm - what a revolting greedy turd she is - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thearchers/posts/The-Brookfield-inheritance

 

[trashpony]

Urgh I hadn't forgotten entirely but hadn't remembered quite how vile she was. It's now if the reasons I loathe her.

Still think this storyline is an absurd drama which won't come to anything.

 

[a_chap]

Kenton's input wasn't terribly helpful either.

Just read the link and was surprised that Glebe Cottage was £200,000 in 2000! Worth a king's ransome today then...

There'll be a bit of a fuss and a falling out. Then nothing will happen and it will all be forgotten about.

Aye, which makes it even more surprising the whole farm is only worth £1.5 million today

 

[wiskey]

I thought he said 4.5m.

 

[trashpony]

I thought he said 4.5m.

He did! Not sure where that 1.5 came from. But even 4.5 isn't enough. The mind boggles

Made me feel a bit less sorry for hard put upon farmers but then I don't want to buy milk from mega dairies ...

 

[belboid]

I thought he said 4.5m.

ohh, that would make more sense. Looking at places in Herefordshire, £1.5mill per hundred acres seems about the going rate.

In other news, the Archers is just topping Kermode & Mayo's Film show as the most popular monthly download from the beeb http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/...hers-fans-not-put-off-by-racy-storylines.html

 

[davesgcr]

So they move up to Prudhoe - then the old girl croaks ....

Ohhh is that how it's spelt.

Looks a lot prettier than it sounds imo

Not wishing to seem too keen to see the back of them BUT

 

[trashpony]

This is just ridiculous - a whole family don't move hundreds of miles away from the farm they've farmed for generations to look after one old lady who might pop her clogs at any moment.

But the Rob storyline is brilliant - he's got Helen texting him every single time she leaves the house, even when he's at work. Positively chilling

This is a family who have farmed the same land for generations yet regard the purchase of 30 acres in the 1970's as 'years ago' ... ime 'years ago' to a farmer is some time in the 1700's.

And yes, Rob's speech about how he came home to a cold dark house and how easily Hellin fell for it were scary.

 

[madamv]

I also like the way phoebe is reacting to Roy.

I can't believe Helen is such a gulla bull. Makes me furious...

I love the sound of Carole..... I must Google her and see what she looks like.
