She is beyond awesome and a nifty little writer herself. I would apologise for quoting such a relatively old post but am pissed so don't give a fuck

On a bit of break...
Neil Nunes (continuity) pronounced it More-Rees so I'm guessing Maurice. I didn't hear the episode as I now switch off, but I heard Neil Nunes. He can mispronounce me any time he likes. What a voice.

Heartwarming stuff...the Archers as it should be, no drama, just the WI. Peggy will be offering to babysit before you know it.

I don't feel sorry for Tom, he's a tosser.Just catching up.
Poor Tom
Why is Emmuh being so down about the new baby?
I think Emmur is jealous - I think she was fairly sure that Nic was done with kids and that was the one thing she could provide Clarrie with that Nic couldn't. Clarrie gets on much better with Nic than she does with Emmur

yeah I know he is, there was just something about the way he was talking to his mum about it. Good scriptwriting I guess.
By the end of the last episode I was back to being ambivalent about him.

You only have to go on Mumsnet for 5 minutes ( I know
) to find out that people are always thinking other people ( well women) are trying to steal the thunder by announcing pregnancy, wedding or whatever. I think it's been particularly dire this week btw.

Good lord, Ambridge needs an intensive care unit installed in the village hall, looks like more coma drama on the way

Well now, just hang on. There's a history of shooting incidents in the Archers running back decades.
Tom Forrest shot a poacher in the woods once, and only got off because Phil Archer was a magistrate and had 'a word' with the authorities.
Clive Horobin took a shotty to the Post office once, in a particulary desperate moment back in the early nineties. I don't think the weapon was discharged, but Jack nearly had a heart attack. The incident led to Susan doing time, as she sheltered her brother from the police dragnet.
Also Jack was actually shot and injured by a client on a Brian Aldridge estate partridge shoot. Some say it triggered the Alzheimers.
So people do get shot in the Archers. And Adam was kidnapped once, but nobody ever speaks of it.
Edited: And of course Glen shot himself in his keepers cottage, when being Helen Archers bf became just too fucking much. I was forgetting that.

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you saying this is a good, inventive, credible plot line? Or, as with the other shooting events in the past merely desperation on the part of the SWs.
Admittedly I don't live in London but I don't know of any shootings in my extended circle of friends/family. Live in Ambridge and you're likely to know quite a few.
