It's possibly the (male) scriptwriter's way of signalling that Ben Has Feelings Too and far too often in these circs the Man's Feelings are Overlooked. So nice kind thoughtful Ben is dropping things, over-correcting for his careless ejaculation, and generally acting out of character.
At least, I think that's what's going on. But it's Nick Warburton at the moment and I'd have expected better of him.

You bastards have got me listening again 
I was actually surprised she went for the termination. Normally it's all "you'll regret having a termination", ignoring whether she'd regret having a child and then she'd regret it and she's got a child to look after.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
There is still space on the Peggoi memorial Window. She will have the baby and Alan will change the design so it features both the divine pure blood twins AND the Horrobin spawn.
My feeling is that she will feel a kick and Ben will change her mind.
Ben has so far kissed Beth’s sister, immediately slept with someone else after breaking up with Beth, and his appearance yesterday felt like he was making himself the main event in an unwanted manner.
For me this is starting to look like a pattern of behaviour but I must admit I do have an innate prejudice against all characters with the surname Archer

Admittedly I haven't followed with the closest attention but wasn't the kissing Beth's sister thing more a question of the nympho Steph grabbing him and forcing an unwanted kiss on him? Which Beth misinterpreted?
Not that I'm trying to defend him or anything. I'm not sure why I listen except I'm interested in how the scriptwriters get themselves out of a tricky situation the previous scriptwriters have dumped them in. (Frex, re the hot tub, is Borsetshire exempt from energy price increases?)

Yes - steph kissed him, not the other way round, and Beth walked in just at the wrong moment.

I came here to say the things the previous 2 posters said. Especially given it feels like we haven't finished the Ben/Beth story line yet. This was not expected at all.

I stopped listening again some time ago as I got completely hacked off with the Ben and Chelsea all-about-Ben story, and whenever I've caught a bit by accident lately the script has been underwhelming. I got the impression the actors thought so too.
Have things improved?

OK, I just listened to Sunday's repeat. I didn't mind the spoilers.
In an episode replete with dramatic ironies, what struck me was that

Jakob is cheating on Kate with the French horsewoman, which is why he's sending her off to SA, a trip that will be thwarted by the latest developments...

I stopped listening about 10 years ago when I moved back to the UK. There's nothing here that's enticing me to return despite being overseas again. I hope Adam is OK...he was at Newcastle the same time as me (1986)...and I turned out to be gay....so I do feel some affinity with him.

Apparently she started with the cast in 1951!Bit of a relief really I was expecting a torrid sex scene with sound effects
She's been on the programme for 60 years
The character did.
Believe the actor in question begin the role in 1963 when in her early 20s. The actor is often older than the character on radio. Erik, who was around last week is played by an actor in his early 60s
