*The Archers thread

[two sheds]

are they going for the younger audience - mind you hardly with the passion play

She's the least wino/most whiny alcoholic ever. They should demand she does some method acting. Up the ante a bit like.

she'd have a job keeping up with whatshisname the son who got sent to prison for whining. Fuck me his voice grated every time he spoke.

Well the end of last nights episode caught me by surprise. Obvs Alice can’t act very well but it wasn’t as bad as you all had made it sound. And then....did she try to wank him off?

 

[two sheds]

I was thinking of giving it another try to see just how bad it was until I read your last sentence

 

[Elpenor]

I think an attempt at a snog, hadn’t considered the wanking option

Radio drama at its best then
What happened to the lack of ambiguity of the Sid and Cathy shower scene?
Thanks all of you here for tuning in on a regular basis so I don't have to.

I presume Roy and Kirsty getting together is going to build to be the big Christmas story.

It’s a pity that the reduction in episodes hasn’t improved quality. I will still listen though every time!

 

[Elpenor]

Respect to the writer today for smuggling a Terrorvision song title into today’s script.

I was alarmed to hear how frail June Spencer (Peggy Archer) sounded on tonight's episode

I hope she's ok.

 

[belboid]

102 next month!

 

[Elpenor]

To me it sounded like a poor recording as she was on the phone. Peggy is immortal.

 

[weltweit]

Not at all sure I like this Alice the Alco thread ..

But I suppose they have always had someone or other in difficulties ..

 

[weltweit]

Don't sell her the Vodka !

 

[davesgcr]

Still holding out on my refusal to listen to policy. (and not missed it either - the debate about the Passion Play did it finally for me)

Too many irrelevant threads and jettisoned past stories and characters.

 

[Elpenor]

Alice is really becoming a difficult listen.

 

[a_chap]

So, what's new?

 

[two sheds]

Yes, I was going to say "even more annoying than three months ago?". They seem to alternate between characters which are particularly annoying. Last year it was that whatever his name is whiny son of whatever her name is.

 

[Elpenor]

I could guess that was Freddy straight away

 

[Elpenor]

Good news is that Sunday episode is back (and on next week as well so a permanent fixture?)

Bad news is that it’s a village fete special

I've just caught up with it. Genius special guest!

The special guest was by far the best bit!

 

[two sheds]

haven't listened since saying i wasn't going to listen again - have I missed anything? (may have a sneaky listen to the mystery guest)

You have no authority in Ambridge!

my role model David settles down to listen to the Archers intro music

This mornings omnibus was utter bilge. One gets repeatedly sick of the obsession with the "Passion Plays" - surely there must be more to life than the eternal Snell charades and so on.

Clarry sounds like a real bundle of fun , as if she is about to cry at any moment.

Nothing of amusement at all , no cider club , pub , turkeys etc to leaven the tedium.

 

[Elpenor]

I hate the bloody village plays with a passion; more so now they are an “institution” and attract a month + of buildup and a stand-alone extended episode. Self indulgence from the Luvvies.

But then I’m a fan of the agri-business storylines.

Quite - about time this got binned. The relevance of such tripe is zero. Agree on agri-business stuff , or indeed anything bar this indulgence.

Self indulgence from the Luvvies

Yeah, agree. Really fuckin tedious
