So, as the trial has been and gone, we are all glad that Helen won, and Rob had his true self revealed, will the rift 'tween Adam & Ian be healed?

Whose jam will be judged to be the best? Will Joe approach his final rest?

Will Grange Farm rent be paid on time?

Can I be arsed inspired to write more drivel rhyme?

Away we go!

Did anyone see that a GP from Surrey, Graham Blockley who has recently retired, has revealed that he is also the actor who has played Robert Snell for the past 30 years? The amusing thing is that when he auditioned for the part of a new doctor in the series in '86 he was told he did not sound enough like a doctor and was offered the part of Robert Snell!

Read about it on the Mumsnet thread, Lazigirl. I like Robert Snell.

Josh's rudeness is appalling and I can't wait for Pip to be found out. She's my least favourite character.

AIBU to be driven mad by the way the ghastly Pip pronounces Tobeeee? I keep thinking she's about to launch into a soliloquy from Hamlet.

They deserve each other.

I've gone off Pip ever since they changed the person playing the part.

eGJ Mon 03-Apr-17 12:57:43

And how soon before Carol's "herbs" are revealed for what they are?!! Could Tobee's gin have them as well as Jill's "herbal tea2? grin

Lazigirl Mon 03-Apr-17 14:31:35

I agree Hunt. Bring back the old Pip - and Tom, still can't recognise his voice.

I'm sure I've just heard Pip tell Josh if he wanted some peas he could use Rickyard.

Maybe she keeps them with the marbles she's gradually losing. hmm

I'm not sure I expected Emma to do that. I wonder where this is going. Is it meant to kick Ed into action? Peggy gave her the advice and I seem to remember she basically ended up running the pub by herself as her first Jack was such a waste of space but I'm not sure if I have made that upconfused

GracesGranMK2 Fri 07-Apr-17 19:16:38

Oh, oh ... oh!!!

merlotgran Fri 07-Apr-17 19:22:20

That made me gasp!

Oh dear Lil. What now?

HannahLoisLuke Fri 07-Apr-17 19:40:20

Is it the same actor? Think I need to listen again!

chelseababy Fri 07-Apr-17 19:49:57

That's put the Pusscat among the pigeons!!!!

phoenix Fri 07-Apr-17 19:50:30

As Mr P would say, WELL!

phoenix Fri 07-Apr-17 19:51:08

Meant to add shockshockshock

Luckygirl Fri 07-Apr-17 19:51:13

Well - that's just plain silly and beyond credence that he should wander in at that moment.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 07-Apr-17 20:00:25

Life can be pretty bad at timing LG. My hopes are that she sees just how much better off she is and can be really happy.

I'll take the rose coloured glasses off now sad

Lazigirl Fri 07-Apr-17 22:35:32

What a turn up! I've still got my rose coloured ones on GGMk2. Here's hoping for happy ending. Bit gloomy round Ambridge at the mo.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 07-Apr-17 22:38:49

Isn't it just and the fallout when they know about Pip and the cows doesn't bare thinking about.

Lovely bit with Lynda and Kirsty though.

GracesGranMK2 Fri 07-Apr-17 22:40:49

I think that is the wrong bare/bear - sorry. I would have to look it up and I am tired now so forgive me confused

AyjayF Fri 07-Apr-17 23:28:49

Ooohh, tiger!!!

Hopehope Sat 08-Apr-17 00:14:52

I always listen to the Archers in the bath, it is my little bit of ME time, but when I heard that " Pusscat" I almost slipped under the water in shock grin. Anyone else think they Archers are trying too hard now. We don't need something dramatic happening so often, surely. It is a tale of farming Folk in a rural environment. I agree about Pip too, cannot stand this " new" one

Hopehope Sat 08-Apr-17 00:15:58

LOL I just saw my typing error THEY Archers. Must have caught that from Clarrie

Iam64 Sat 08-Apr-17 09:11:24

Oh My! The various Archers groups have been calling for the return of Tiger - never thought it would happen. What a cracking Friday night cliff hanger.

merlotgran Sat 08-Apr-17 09:39:45

Lots of s**t hitting various fans at the moment.

Bring it on grin

HannahLoisLuke Sun 09-Apr-17 09:24:42

Can't wait to hear Lilian's reaction, and Justin's.
I used to like Matt and Lilian together, they were funny, though Matt was always dodgy.

I prefer this Pip to the old whiney one but yes the "Tobee" is awful. Prefer this Tom too, the old one sounded just too smug.

David and Ruth have long got on my nerves, but after all that I'll still listen. Why stop now when I've been a fan since the first episode and I was a child of around seven.
