*The Archers thread

[Elpenor]

Tonights episode seems to have been just a filler, did anything actually happen?

Something awful will happen on the litter pick probably involving Clive who won’t have really left Ambridge

Brad and Mia are over, with one or both going silent unless they’re going to be involved in the awful thing

You have watched The Archers before..?

When I watch The Archers, I swear, my radio barely moves. But my dinner comes on apace.

So, Lily's Mia's going to have lessons on the beach near Newcastle Uni.

Something like this, I guess...

Not Lily, Mia.

I'm impressed that anyone knows who people are. Any blokes and I'm thinking Is this Ed? Is this Brad? Is this George?

 

[PTK]

I remember some years ago getting a couple of the characters mixed up, and thinking one bloke was the one who walked out on his wedding, but it wasn't him.

One of them walked out on his wedding?

One of them walked out on his wedding?

There was a character who left the bride-to-be at the altar.

The swine

Tom Archer walked out on Kirsty.
Completely bottled it and left Kirsty distraught.

 

[Monte]

Literally left her at the altar.

Poor Kirsty. You're heartless

 

[Monte]

Poor Kirsty. You're heartless

She escaped having to marry Tom Archer, it was a blessing.
Mind you she did marry a literal slaver later on.
I guess some girls just have bad taste in men.

Girls? She’s early 40s Kirsty FFS!

and frankly the script writers keep being cruel to her, hopefully she can find happiness at some point

 

[Monte]

It's not me that writes the script.
It got worse for Kirsty. A night of passion a couple of years after she was jilted left Kirsty pregnant with Tom's baby which she then lost.
Then there was that whole modern slavery thing with Phillip.

It's definitely time she had a bit of good luck but that would be a bit dull for the listeners.

She got together with Tom in 1999 at university.
She was definitely a girl making a bad choice.

She's a woman not a girl. And she was a woman not a girl when she was at university too.

You do know it's fiction don't you

OK, sorry, she was a young woman.

It's real in my imagination.

I get a bit involved with it also .. but when I don't like a storyline it is definitely fiction.

At the moment the whole Alice, George, Clive storyline is irritating me.

The Alice/George story line I started off thinking was quite good with some intresting possible outcomes but has now dragged on too long. Clive is a random and irritating distraction.

They are just building tension.
I love it, waiting for George's downfall.
The little shit's got it coming.
I've gone from listening to the omnibus to eagerly awaiting each episode.

Only one person bought cider that day

George

Susan might be on the case

And after her and Emma's experience I can't see her letting go. Mike also isn't George's number one fan I can see him keeping it quiet either.

Whereas I've largely gone the other way was eagerly waiting for each episode to catching up in big chunks. (although today was a big catchup and I was then cooling dinner as it was on)

I hope we aren’t going to have an extended parents WhatsApp group storyline, can’t see it being very fascinating though I expect it may be how they introduce a homophobia at the school gates angle

A rival group that excludes Ian and Adam?
