*The Archers thread

There is one thing though. The name of The Archers will have to be changed after the sale of David and Ruth's farm. There won't be any Archers left in the village.

When the new road is completed they can have a story of Ribbon Development along the road so that lots of new houses are built alongside it until the whole village gradually merges with the suburbs of Birmingham. No more simple country folk, no cattle. That would be the most realistic scenario.
 
Can someone explain how Joe had managed to hang on to an old milk bottle? I thought when they were evicted from Grange Farm that they lived in a tower block?

How could they still have all the old gubbins? Just a thought.

I think the editor assumes all soap viewers/listeners have the attention span of goldfish. Therefore incongruencies like that are not a problem.

well it has always been a bit like that. Remember when Mike was blinded in one eye? - that seemed to sort itself out fairly painlessly with no mention ever made of it ever again ever, ditto Brian's epilepsy.
 
I really enjoyed hearing Hayley just now. They'll have to bring her back to Ambridge - there's a dearth of young(er) matriarchs at the moment.
 
Bits of "The Archers of old" made an appearance tonight.
i.e. Bits that made me smile and feel good.
 
I don't think he ever really wanted to go. The whole thing is absurd. The whole family uprooting when they've got two kids doing GCSEs/A levels to look after an old lady who may not live many more years.

It's just a device to ignite an Archers family feud
 
I was yelling at the radio this evening - Hellin's blind compliance with Rob's not very subtle manipulations. FFS, what does she think will happen to the income generated by the shop? Income that is presumably fairly important? Fucksakes. I do think this storyline is a good'un but by god, it's horrible hearing it play out.
 
It's actually fascinating listening to him, he waffles on about not a lot and suddenly he's completely changed her mind and she's thanking him for it!! It's far more creepy than if he was overtly threatening or shouty.

She's a fucking plank though she really is :facepalm:

She totally is, and yes completely agree about the creepiness. She's always been fragile though inspite of the bluster.

I guess the minute she starts to disagree with him, that's when the shouting will start - the way he spoke to Jess at her illfated party was horrible. He's a really nasty passive aggressive piece of work.
 
I was mulling over what will cause the Brookfield sale to fall through; because it surely will. I'd set out to ride 130 miles or so on my bike today so I had a few hours mulling time.

Justin Elliot pegs it before contracts are exchanged. Probably a heart attack. Bonus points if he's arguing with anyone from the SAVE campaign at the time.
What could happen is that the old mother in the North might die suddenly removing them of their motivation of moving there, assuming she died before the sale went through they could cancel and remain where they are, although they might have ordered all sorts of kit by then, cancelling much to Justin Elliot's annoyance.. :)
