*The Archers thread

[mango5]

I do agree with you, the number should be available anywhere and everywhere.

There's nothing on listen again. Starts and ends with the theme tune. Harsh.

Although Friday's episode was premium public information and social commentary throughout

 

[alan_]

I missed yesterday's episode so have just caught up via the BBC web site....

Shula: 200 grams

Rob: That's just over... 342?​

What? Isn't that the same as...

Shula: Half a dozen eggs

Rob: That's just over... 11?​

Then the scriptwriters treated us to a bit of marital rape. Oh FFS

200 weight
342 price

Prove it.

It seemed to me that last night's ep concluded with heavy dramatic irony indicating that someone, probably Bert, would imminently kark it. Tonight, 'Clarrie makes a shocking discovery.' I can hardly wait.

 

[belboid]

blates Alf that burnt the chicken shed down (as well as nicking all Clarrie's money)

i was putting it down to the automated door opening device catching fire.

It could be young George. Or Rob the Nob.

Might be an international egg marketing organization not wanting the competition.

That was my first thought, but then it was said the firefolk mentioned 'accelerant'

Saving myself for the Sunday omnibus.

Fires seem an Ambridge speciality ....

Bert: "Freda was a big fan of my vegetables"

Snigger

 

[belboid]

Hmm, could we be shaping up for something to happen on a Sunday???

 

[TikkiB]

I hope so, I can't bear the tension much longer.

Go on Helen!

 

[a_chap]

The writers are dangling a carrot of hope to make us think Helen's life's about to take a turn for the better.

I bet it'll get worse tho

 

[wiskey]

yup Rob isn't going to like the new assertive Helen and is going to incapacitate her.

Many of the momen who are maimed or killed by their partners, are attacked when they try to end the relationship.

 

[weltweit]

I haven't been able to tune in since Wednesday, what is going on?

plot summaries: This Week in Ambridge

Thanks for that, just the ticket!

 

[bluescreen]

Helen makes use of time alone to call and arrange a hospital birth.
At the Bridge Farm Farewell to Cursula tea party she goes ballistic when Henry accuses her of planning to send him away to school. "I'll kill him!" she shouts and leaps in a car and drives off to BHC (miraculously avoiding the Pothole of Doom), with Patsy and Cursula in hot pursuit (leaving Henry in a Plothole of Neglect). Her behaviour is Outrageous!
- Darling, you really frighten me. You are Out of Control. He rummages through her handbag for her car keys and confiscates them.
While Rob is out, she telephones the DA helpline. Starts to play it all down because it sounds too appalling said out loud. R returns and interrupts the call. She tells him to get his own supper.

 

[bluescreen]

FiFi is right. There will be blood.

 

[belboid]

Well, well, whatever next? A celebrity appearance that wasn't completely awful.

 

[Guineveretoo]

I heard a little bit of an item on Woman's Hour this morning (or was it yesterday?) which implied that the Rob/Helen storyline wasn't going to be over for a while yet.

 

[weltweit]

Good to hear Helen standing up for herself tonight, wtf Rob was doing trying to persuade her to have a home birth I have no idea!

 

[RubyToogood]

I'm slightly startled that Shula invited the doctor to lunch on Easter Sunday. Didn't they have an affair at one point? It all seems a bit modern for Ambridge.

 

[wiskey]

I'm fairly sure my MW wouldn't have left a message like that, for exactly those reasons.

 

[red & green]

At last! Kirsty advises Helen to speak to Jess and her backup plan for Helen is great

 

[two sheds]

I thought Rob ladling on the compliments once Helen had made a little stand a couple of days ago was well studied.
