*The Archers thread

Trying to think who's been inside: Susan, Clive, Freddy, Phil, and now George - who else?

Did Titchener get sent down for anything eg coercive control, or was it just that Helen didn't?

Helen.

 

[kalmatthew]

We don't know that.
He only had one bottle of cider that we know of.

We very rarely if ever get anything from outside of Ambridge in the first person.
I don't think we heard Freddie's experiences in prison. Only him relaying his experiences later. Not sure if we even got prison visits first hand.

I think we heard the odd bit. But this certainly wasn't what I was expecting

 

[bluescreen]

Ah yes, Helen - I couldn't remember if she was sent down or just on remand.

On remand in a mother and baby unit.

An Archer would have got a suspended sentence at most

I think she was on remand.

An Archer would not have done what George did.

 

[Elpenor]

An Archer would not have done what George did.

They would have done much worse I think

There is a reason that it is called The Archers. And that is because they are role models. I admire them all.

Me ole pal, me ole beauty - what did he get sent down for? Poaching?

Possibly, before my time

Nelson was the real wrongun, didn’t he get accused of armed robbery?

 

[kalmatthew]

Like polute the land buy burying toxic waste in it

I thought he'd be more in the line of fencing stolen antiques.


ETA Wikipedia tells me "He was charged with the Borchester mail-van robbery in 1967 but was eventually acquitted. After spells in London and Spain, in 1980, he ran a wine bar and later an antique shop with Kenton Archer. Finally, he disappeared to South America, where he died in strange circumstances."

Borchester mail van robbery totally passed me by.

I forgot about that. What was the outcome?

Massive fine, and he had to sell the farmhouse and move into a little cottage which Jennifer Darling tried to make the best of.

I just hope he learned his lesson

Ah, yes, it is coming back to my mind.

 

[kalidarkone]

Maybe Alice (actually it feels more Brian) will mount a private prosecution for TWOC when he doesn't do time for dangerous driving or perverting the course.

In my world TWOC means trial without catheter. I hate acronyms.

Only because the land they wanted to sell is where Kate had spiritual homes but it was the only place on the farm with the right Aura so she couldn't move.

That was Brian Aldridge.

The worst I can remember an Archer doing was David Archer shooting a badger after a previous round of TB led to him having to cull some of his herd.

 

[bluescreen]

Didn't David threaten some eco-protestors because someone offered him out over GM crops? Can't remember the details but I don't think he was charged.
He has a nasty temper on him when something sets him off.

 

[PTK]

That was Brian Aldridge.

The trouble I have had with the Archers in the past is that I got the characters mixed up.

Me too, although sometimes I look at the program website. Where strangely enough some of the actors are just like I imagine in my minds eye. Justin Elliot for example exactly how I had imagined him to be

Whereas the copper, what's his face? I always picture him as Kier Starmer!

Sgt Harrison Burns. Is a whiny selfish arsehole, who loses his temper.
TBF I don't know if KS loses his temper.
