*The Archers thread

[bluescreen]

Fun fact: Charles Collingwood (Brian) is IRL married to Judy Bennett (Shula).
But I expect everyone on this thread already knows that.

I did not know that. (I also only listen to The Archers occasionally and by accident.)

Ed is also cyclops Mike Tucker’s son IRL I think

Well tonight's episode was, without doubt, the worst ever.

About as far from why I listen to The Archers as it's possible to get.

 

[Elpenor]

That’s the Aldridge family ripped apart then.

Nah they will all reunite over rescuing Ruhuy from his sugar momma

Makes swift exit... I listen on Sunday morning.

Which begs the question why anyone listens. I've often asked myself why I listen/ed and am unable to explain it.

 

[Elpenor]

I’m addicted and haven’t missed an episode in 15 years having listened on and off (mostly off) for a decade beforehand

 

[two sheds]

Well there was a lot of fast forwarding of this week's episodes

No I liked tonight's episode, the Will reading should be fun. Have they taken the story line from Eastenders?

David Archer went full gammon tonight. Quite amusing

Echoes of the badger killing episode

Looks like one of the better drawn character of past decade or so may be back for it.

While they’re awful, we might get some better episodes than of late. A particular recent low was the Eurovision planning committee written as drawing room farce

May I be permitted to say that I really dislike George. Fucking cartoon character.

Nigel?

 

[Elpenor]

Nigel?

Could be, there were ghosts about tonight too

 

[A380]

Nigel?

Who,

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Splat

Nigel?

 

[two sheds]

Well it's only radio it's not as if he'd have to appear on camera

 

[sparkling]

May I be permitted to say that I really dislike George. Fucking cartoon character.

George's character is all wrong. He was named after George the game keeper and at one point he wanted to be a police officer. He's too 2 dimensional.

At least we were saved the eternally boring and "so retro" Xmas Pantomime. Please may it never , ever appear again.

Does Clarrie annoy anyone with the voice which sounds as if she is about to burst into tears any second......?

Yes she does ...again a ridiculous character

Lucky there's Mrs Snell to maintain the gritty realism.

Its a shame that Robert wont be coming back anytime soon

Considering they have (I think) free housing and plenty of local work , she should at least try and sound a bit more cheerfull.

Perhaps one of the family can give her a spliff to make things better.

(or just get off the air)

Sorry, how is Rylan going to get to and from Ambridge on Eurovision day??

I’m with Linda. Who is Rylan?

(I know who he is as he does those cheesy cinch car adverts but I’m not really sure what exactly he is other than a face who can read an autocue)

a perfectly inoffensive second tier Graham Norton. Mostly harmless.

Did anyone hear the recent trailer with Helling doing her breathless backstory... And Now Listen On with the outro of spooky plinky plonk minor key version of Barwick Green? Although subject matter is serious I'm afraid I laughed.

Spoiler

And now Lee looks to be saddled with a criminal record for shoving Rob, he's going to be debarred from going to the Laurels as well as jiggering Helling's case for No Contact
