Archers Addict

I listened on my way to choir and picked up a comment when someone asked Helen how she got that bruise on her wrist. She made some excuse but did seem wary.

Could Merlot have been right about the handcuffs which caused her bruised wrist? I was being a bit tounge in cheek when I said that earlier.
Surely not on the Archers!

He seems to have assigned himself the role of Project Manager!

I DO wish it would all come out re him, but I'm afraid based on recent experience, The Archers do like to drag a plot line out!

He has ramped up the nastiness... EA, sexual abuse, physical, financial is being set up. He is talking Helen out of being involved in the shop, got them to sell organics, telling her she needs to do the school uniforms and other domestic drudgery instead of working on the shop project.

Heavens! He's not hanging about when it comes to turning nasty.

Pull the other one Helen, it's got bells on... tripping with Henry.... not a chance.

and since when have you failed to have any ideas of your own that don't parrot the misogynistic slime ball Robs?

Blackeyed, I hadn't thought of that.

Didn't rate the orchestra much

because otherwise confused listeners would think they were accidently listening to radio three and twiddle the dials...

I don't think Kenton's going to be all that impressed when he realises how much Jolene has divulged.

Lovely moment of light relief when Eddie Grundy's phone rang in the middle of the opera but why was nobody 'shushing' Jim and Christine?

I thin you mean "Saint Shula" Bamm

Phil's new wife after Grace died was Jill, Shula is the daughter.

I have signed up for the Observer too, enjoyed reading it this morning.

me too merlot. me too.

Same here, Iam. Oh well, it is pouring with rain.

I would make Pip work her fingers to the bone for nowt until the £2,000, or whatever extortionate amount of their money she's wasted, is paid back.

suzied, did you have to put that link up. I've signed up so will spend even longer on my lap top

Addicts may enjoy this.

13 minutes and counting....

And Kathy, although another one not heard of for ages, she used to make an odd noise before she spoke, a sort of anxious sounding "err"

the good,the bad and the ugly, they are all alive and kicking in Ambridge.
I listen at lunchtime, the podcast, with my OH and it leads to some interesting discussions.

I took it as a sign of incipient middle age when DS1 started listening to the Archers! I have almost given up, though I sometimes catch part of the omnibus edition.

I am lucky to hear he words let alone any whirring. The children do not appreciate the need to listen.

They are gradually picking things up and occasionally ask questions about it, but I wish they would not do it in the middle of the programme

When Rob said "a bit carried away" on the telephone to Helen, did he also say "that bite"??? reception not always that fangtastic.

Such an up and down character, one moment you think, may be I have got him wrong after all and then the next... it's been an incredibly slow burn to get to this point, I hope it speeds up now and the Helen character sees sense to protect Henry, she just has to put him first now.

I think she could open up to Kirsty or maybe Fallon, not sure Emma would be a good idea though

I loved Nelson's character, I still miss him in the same way I miss Nigel. Such good fun -

They are just winding him up before he can speak.

Stop it! phoenix

Not a new wife in Shula, friends !

Sorry merlot I didn't mean to cloud your vision of Jill.

By the way, even though we haven't heard fom Bert Fry for ages, has anyone else noticed that every time he speaks he seems to go "whirr" before saying any actual words?
