*The Archers thread

[two sheds]

sorry about the triumphalism last night but it's important not to mislead people about this

Has anyone been seeing these "soilidari tea" posts on twitter?

My SIL mentioned it to me but I had no idea what she was on about.

 

[wiskey]

Have to confess it's not looking good for Helen ... but if I'm ever in court I want a mate like Kirsty

 

[bluescreen]

All that blurting out by Kirsty - aren't these things that Anna could have brought out in cross-examination?

 

[two sheds]

I'm sure judges do threaten witnesses with contempt of court after something like that. It's always puzzled me though because you say you'll tell "the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth" so if you don't say what you believe it's breaking your oath.

 

[belboid]

There's a bit of a difference between opinion and truth tho

That said, Anna is doing a very good job of sounding like a shite lawyer

 

[dolly's gal]

surely she's going to remember - AND TELL SOMEONE - that he raped her?! right?? RIGHT?

 

[Guineveretoo]

I keep thinking about that! Did she ever tell anyone? Kirsty?

Perhaps she is in denial.

But I also think they're building up to a reveal on that, because her mood and feelings towards Rob changed at that point (obviously) and those who know that she was raped think it's obvious.

 

[Lazy Llama]

Having not mentioned it in statements or at any time previously, it's not going to look very convincing if she brings it up now...

 

[Ms T]

Her mate in prison (Kaz?) basically told her to tell her brief she'd been raped. She hasn't as yet so I reckon it will come out on the stand for full dramatic impact.

I'm hoping his brother saw him on tv news and turns up to say the Rob attacked because Ursula preferred him to Rob him and that's why he's in a wheelchair.

 

[belboid]

They have the clip up again, listening to it in isolation from the rest of the episode, it really is much clearer than I remembered it being as to Rob being about to assault Henry.

Send the fucker daaaaarnnnn

The Archers moment that everyone is talking about, Radio 4 in Four - BBC Radio 4

Why don't they just play that recording in court?

That's worse than I remembered it. The fucker better not get away with that.

Actually, if Helen gets off can the tables be turned and him be tried for what he did and tried to do to Helen?

Can be. Whether they would be, without some devastating bit of evidence (which will surely be saved for an appeal), I doubt they would tho

 

[two sheds]

has anyone heard Helen in another soap/starting up a different dramatic career? If so I think she's in for a long stretch

 

[Shirl]

If Helen goes down that's IT. No more Archers for me even though I've listened for about 40 years.

I think that I missed this bit

 

[wiskey]

This is going to be the quickest trial ever, they are whizzing through witnesses.

 

[Shirl]

YES!
Well done Ms T

It was just my fantasy outcome.

A week is probably about right, we're only getting selected highlights, don't forget.

Quite an ending there. While annoyingly melodramatic, bloody well acted by Ms Patikas

Oh lol

Spot on!

 

[belboid]

What actually happened when Anna turned her back? Was the log of the helpline call a last minute discovery? I couldn't quite work it out

 

[Lazy Llama]

Something about "And is she with them at the moment?"

 

[belboid]

Something about "And is she with them at the moment?"

Aah, Jess?

Which would make the helpline 'ambush' all the more dubious, but still.

 

[weltweit]

I would have liked to hear Anna's cross examination of Kirsty.
