For all you Archers fans.........

[GrannyAching]

Colonel Danby doing his Churchill impression. Lorna - now there was an accent to liven things up. Usha and Amy - where has Alan buried them?

We could have an omnibus consisting of nothing but accidents/near misses - Tom shooting Jethro's brother. Davis killing Clarie's Dad etc etc

Omnibus of risque bits - Shula losing her virginity, all Brian's little "episodes"

Omnibus of agricultural gaffs and cliches

I remember Chris Carter being conceived in a hotel in London. I thought that David had a bit to do with Jethro's demise, don't recall a Davis...

There is always poor old Grace as well, but I wasn't about then.

My Welsh environment coming out!

I though Susan was pregnant with Emma and took Neil to London. Insisted on separate rooms. Ended up telling him she was pregnant and they then shared a single bed.

That could be right, I remembered being amazed by the furtiveness

Not just the sheer blinding out of datedness of it? It was at least the nineties if not later. (I am now going to look on Wiki and find Emma is pushing fifty!(Joke) (Tom Archer must be nearly forty and he is definitely the boy!)

 

[David.]

I cannot be doing with the sheer blinding hypocrisy of Susan Carter, full stop.

 

[Chopsy Varmint]

I enjoy a bit of Susan. She'd drive me nuts in real-life but as long as she stays in my radio poking her nose about I think she's great.

Same as Kate.

I think that the last time I heard the Archers Walter Gabriel and John Tregoran were still alive and active. Was it John Tregoran that was supposed to be a gypsy?

 

[essexpete]

Stop listening recently when they seem to have not been able to adapt to current affairs. Poor.

Honestly, Adam does need the sack. How could he not spot CODD? How could he not know about it? How could he not quarantine ewes bought in from an unknown source?

Plenty don't I'm afraid.

 

[primmiemoo]

So that's what's wrong in the Home Farm flock??

I've only seen CODD in photos, but wouldn't dismiss an increase in lameness as "but seen as a percentage of the flock ... " if someone pointed it out.

Will Adam be blaming his Shepherd, or himself, I wonder. I think he's out of paternity leave now, isn't he?

What? You think he's got "baby brain"? ?

 

[primmiemoo]

He's changed. He might pin it on poor baby Xander distracting him.

Has anybody heard of this Eli the Shepherd before, btw?

 

[GrannyAching]

He was in Far From The Madding Crowd.

 

[Chopsy Varmint]

No, Eli the Shepherd is a new one on me too. I'd have thought the Brookfield lot would have mentioned him in passing previously if he'd been in post for a while, but it sounds like he's been around longer than lambing at least.

I was happy to hear Emma had come to her senses and try to patch things up with Ed but then hearing him turning her down... there's far too much doom and gloom on the Archers at the moment, just when the listeners need a bit of light relief and a happy storyline we can get immersed in. There's a lot riding on the Easter Bonnet competition in my house.

I'm hoping the modern slavery and Philip the Baddie story gets dealt with quickly; Roy and Kirsty get together; Lynda recovers her competent equilibrium; the Rewilders get stampeded into the dust by a longhorned semi-feral cow; Josh takes over as Home Farm shepherd; Ed stops messing about and takes Emma back; Jazzer gets swept off his feet by a new female character (yard manager for the stables perhaps when Shula effs off to start her holy-rolling); and Susan and Neil have a night in with a massive chili supper.

You've given this some serious thought, Haven't you?

 

[Chopsy Varmint]

Yes.

The Archers is serious business, especially when real-life is pretty crappy.

Have you not found the Dum Tee Dum podcast? It's worth a weekly listen.

I wish there wasn't so much focus on Lynda's innards, and that poor Robert finds his emotional feet again.

Unfortunately, I predict that it won't be a semi-feral cow that will scupper the reweeding project (it does need nipping out), it will be a defrauding Justin draining Peggy's fortune into his own offshore account that will do the trick. Phoebe and Pip are meant to have taken business courses, yet they have as much gumption as 10 year olds when it comes to contracts.

Eek! The Easter Bonnets! Will Lynda find the strength to Lillian into organising it?

Talking of sheep I recall that brookfield cut down sheep numbers by a third in anticipation of Brexit. I don't think they've mentioned that lately.

Must admit I'm kind of hooked with a horrified fascination on the slavery storyline. I'm back to listening every day. Though that might just be through grateful relief that we haven't lost Lynda.
