*The Archers thread

[davesgcr]

The Archers job fairy has worked with Kathy again. You have to have some sort of "tragedy" at Xmas though - as Joe is off the sick list , maybe a conflagration in the Turkey Shed might suffice.

Hang on - there have been barn fires before....

My oldest friend is best mates with Becky Wright who plays Nic. She has a tendency to leap out at me at Glastonbury or other places I'm not expecting it and every time I think 'you really sound like someone I know'

Ed and Will come to blows, mortally maiming each other. Hopefully.

Christmas fight. Haven't they done that before when they tried to strangle each other? Festive!

Shula's voice is starting to *really* annoy me

 

[wiskey]

Speaking of annoying voices - I've just realised it's Christmas... Does this mean we'll have to endure a visit from Pip?

Great minds think alike, where annoying voices are concerned Pip used to take the biscuit .. whingeing Pip!!

what is going on with Jim and Jill? They are buying christmas presents for each other, and practically flirting - what has Jim done with Christine, his erstwhile companion?

Someone needs to check under the patio

'starting' ?

 

[RedDragon]

George's voice is starting to annoy me, why haven't the rest of the family noticed this cuckoo toff?

 

[Manter]

'starting' ?

Yeah, you have a point...

 

[Manter]

Ok, Rosa may be even more annoying

Jim's a bit of a one. Before Christine there was Ruth's recently widowed mother. The randy bastard

 

[weltweit]

Sounds like there are some other concerned peeps wrt Darryl, in the pub.

 

[pennimania]

Oh God,

I have discovered a site where you can listen to old omnibuses (i)? And I have been undoing all the good work I had done avoiding it for 5 years

What a vile woman Kathy Perks is. And as for Jill - she's nearly as narcissistic as my mother.

I can really only stand Brian and Matt.

Where, where??

 

[pennimania]

It's something like www.local-Colchester-plumber/archers.

Don't blame me if you lose the next three months of your life

It happens to fit in with my masters cos I am doing art most of the time and I can listen to the radio simultaneously

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

BBC are cutting it to a three day week, evening repeat remains as does sunday omnibus.
Austerity reaches Ambridge.
The voice "actors" that refuse to take a paycut will be culled in Lower Loxley, Linda Snell has a major role in this.

 

[pennimania]

The Rob and Helen thing is dire.

Does anyone think it can end in them settling down together?

I certainly hope not.

Ugh.

Looks like I may be in for a disappointment

Double ugh.

I too only really like Brian and Matt. I used to love Lilian but can't stand her now.
Thanks for the old omnibus tip.

That link doesn't work

I'm off to search the netherworld for it.

[Shirl]

Oh no, what have I done

 

[friendofdorothy]

Rob and Helen thing is yuk - please don't make me have to listen to them having sex. Will put me right off my brekki on sun morning.

makes me nostaligic for them all arguing about bovine welfare.

 

[pennimania]

Oh no, what have I done

Don't blame me- it was trashy asked for it

 

[story]

Wondering what they will do with Darryl?

eta: Don't like Schula's husband and son keeping on saying he is just a loser and she should abandon him, have they no comprehension that people sometimes are having a hard time?

The thing that is annoying me about this is that sometimes people fall through the cracks not because they have The Trauma or The Crisis or they have Mental Health Issues or The Bereavement, but simply because the system is shit and doesn't support people in normal mundane need. Why must there always be a big fat fucking Radio Four Reason for needing social security?

I see what you mean.
And these R4 / tv reasons are often accompanied by a phone line - have you been affected by xyz....

I know. It makes me think of when they'd use The Archers to broadcast a recipe for cabbage and cardboard pie during rationing: like a public service announcement, without guitars.

I don't think for a minute that Rob has actually told Jess about Helen.
and doesn't Susan realise she doesn't deserve Neil?

No but the village needed a new cad. Don't think I can cope with Helen being heart broken again.

Don't think Susan ever realises anything
