*The Archers thread

[dolly's gal]

Oh I think it was a warning, "look Jess I can be here anytime .. so don't do anything silly!"

hmm, maybe...

 

[wiskey]

you'd have thought not but this is the Archers

In which case he'll probably call her as a character witness any moment

 

[dolly's gal]

hah

 

[Ms T]

Definitely a threat!

 

[two sheds]

yes definitely an implied threat - he mentioned her kid

/disappointed i'm getting drawn into it

 

[dolly's gal]

catching up this morning. who the hell are Freddy and Lilly?

 

[bluescreen]

Elizabeth's twins. Freddy is a bit drippy and dreamy and Lily is a swot.

 

[dolly's gal]

looks like Kaz has done/has tried to do herself in. wonder how it will impact on Helen...

 

[Shirl]

Surely Rob arriving out of the blue and playing perfect daddy isn't going to change the opinion she's spent years forming of him.

I took that to be a threat, it worked too.
Now I just hope that whatever Kaz has done will spur Helen on to revealing all about Rob.

It's not even real, why do I care

Don't be so hard on yourself - your reaction just shows that the actors and the scriptwriters have done their jobs well.
"...Is it not monstrous that this player here,
But in a fiction, in a dream of passion,
Could force his soul so to his own conceit
That from her working all his visage wann'd,
Tears in his eyes, distraction in's aspect,
A broken voice, and his whole function suiting
With forms to his conceit? and all for nothing!
For Hecuba!
What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba,
That he should weep for her? What would he do,
Had he the motive and the cue for passion
That I have?..."
Hamlet

That Bert Fry has got a lovely way with words.

 

[wiskey]

[weltweit]

Apparently the Helen court case starts next Sunday.

 

[belboid]

Apparently the Helen court case starts next Sunday.

Unusual day to start a trial.

 

[weltweit]

Unusual day to start a trial.

Yes, I thought that, but there was a R4 trailer which said that so I assume it is true.

 

[two sheds]

Bit of a sidetrack but does anybody else listening to the catch up start in at 17 seconds to miss the jaunty music?

 

[belboid]

You do recall today is Monday don't you?

 

[weltweit]

You do recall today is Monday don't you?

22 seconds ... I wait for it to start and use the +20 seconds feature

 

[bluescreen]

I just read in the paper that the court case starts broadcast on Sunday. I guess Monday starts early in Ambridge.

[two sheds]

You don't impress me with your techy skills I just checked it on the bbc page. Well known bbc can't be trusted on its political content but does at least get the time right

29/08/2016, The Archers - BBC Radio 4

I'm fairly confident about this given its importance to enjoyable r4 listening.
