*The Archers thread

i've missed loads :mad: had a bit of it on this morning but i genuinely can't listen to the vicky pregnancy stuff, so i can't catch up until that's moved on :(
 
For those understandably not bothering, Jolene thinks Merriel's mum is trying to pull him, and Merriel's mum has just dramatically told Jolene that he forced her to have an abortion.

It's all very EastEnders.
 
So far. My husband is predicting the first learning-disabled child in Ambridge. No-one ever mentions Christyfer's cleft lip, Daniel's Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis or Mike's one eye.
And nor will they mention this baby much after the initial joy ofits birth.
This is the worst example of an issue led storyline they've ever had.
I have been listening for nearly 45 years (or more) :(. Gave up when they wimped out on Ruth's affair. Got drawn back. Gave up after the Nigel debacle. Got drawn back.

Dont know how much more of this one I can stand. I wouldn't mind if I thought they would follow it through honestly - examining shortfalls in NHs provision etc etc but no. It will all be lovely and the village will pull together.

In the past they were more honest. I remember Marjory Antrobus had to wait ages for a hip replacement, so I think did Phil but now the Ambridge fairy waves her wand and all is well.


Does anyone here remember the young girl with cerebral palsy in the Dales. That was when they followed a storyline through in real time. There was a positive outcome to her story but it didnt just happen over night. There were problems and they had to be faced before they were sorted out.

That must be more than 45 years ago but I can still recall her talking to dr Dale about how hard she found buttoning her clothes up.

And he gave her some sensible advice.
 
My husband keeps listening so I pick up stuff as it drifts from the radio. Kenton's daughter turned out to be the fruit of the loins of a crazed stalky Aussie crim, but Kenton saved his life so that's alright then...crazed stalky got winched from the boat and into the arms of the OzFuzz but then he escaped but then Kenton kept him talking while the girls made a sandwich (they were calling the police really).

Sure?

Artichoke is under the impression that related to Mel's abortion.

If Merriel is Tony's too, that makes a full set.

(And would require considerable explanation in archers proper, which the abortion wouldn't.)
 
Please start an Ambridge Extra thread. Don't pollute the waters for us Long Wave listeners.

And don't get me started on AE. I got into a right old argument with the (80 year old?) lady on the Archers' stand at the Evesham Plum Festival two weeks ago. I will not be lectured about using the BBC iPlayer.
 
oh look, the event that will "shake Ambridge to the core" is all over and done with. I barely noticed it really, after the first two weeks.
