*The Archers thread

[weltweit]

I seem to have missed this explosion thing.

Can anyone give me a succinct version?

the Hotel kitchen blew up cos lazy gav told his man to use petrol to clean the floor. Linda nearly died. Gavs man is still in hospital, broken back. A posh boy was vaguely heroic.

Thanks belboid. Petrol to clean a floor, what an idiot.

 

[RubyToogood]

I still don't understand why they had a gas ring on.

 

[wiskey]

Have we heard anything from gav?

 

[wiskey]

I think they could safely have cut the wedding party plans discussion scene and replaced it with one about....hmm, I don't know what.

It's becoming a bit of an elephant isn't it

 

[Mogden]

They've been slyly starting a plot about Roy having amnesia/concussion I reckon. That thing about the bins the other night.

And is Lynda getting ready to say her goodbyes well aware that she's more sick than she's letting on?

Nah.

She will have a relapse and be at death's door for a bit then snap right back.

Will be interfering in the fete and bothering children about Maypole dancing only too soon.

And fawning over Freddie who will continually whine that he just doesn't deserve it

 

[belboid]

Oh. My. Lord.

[Mogden]

Blimey. That was unexpected.

 

[a_chap]

[blinks]

What was?

 

[Mogden]

[blinks]

What was?

End of tonight's episode.

 

[meurig]

Wow.

 

[two sheds]

a little bit of toast

 

[a_chap]

Oohh... [penny drops]

 

[wiskey]

Ooh that's suddenly gone a bit dark

I'm wondering how much longer they can pretend the biggest global event of the century isn't happening for ...

 

[two sheds]

they clearly recorded all their episodes last year

 

[wiskey]

They normally manage to badly shoehorn in a topical one liner

 

[two sheds]

i don't really remember them mentioning brexit so may have been recorded year before last

 

[a_chap]

There will be a massive nuclear explosion and Ambridge will be hurled, just like in Space 1999, to a brexit-free, covid19-free existence in outer-space.

The Archers has become the latest victim of coronavirus as the BBC scrapped one episode a week of the Radio 4 drama.

There will now be five episodes each week instead of the usual six until the end of April. Friday’s episode has been cancelled and there will be a shorter omnibus on Sundays, but the BBC reassured fans that the show had been recorded “for the weeks ahead”.

what happened to wartime spirit? you'd think they could have just stood a bit further apart

It's radio, they can phone it in. Half of them have been doing it anyway, boom tish.

 

[Shirl]

Blimey. That was unexpected.

Any clues? I heard last night's but it was obvious I'd missed something on Friday

The DumTeeDum crew say one of their mob had had an inkling about it a while ago but I didn't notice anything.

there have been little hints. The laptop in a wardrobe. How Philip could ever undercut Eddie - Eddie!! Something very wrong there.
