Archers Addicts 5 !!!!!

I am pleased as well. It's daft I know.

'I love you too much, you old git!'
A beautiful heartfelt declaration, Ian is a lovely man!

Where has Lilian gone?

I love Johnny. He reminds me of one of our grandsons - a truly lovely young man.

Put him on the one which will throw him!

I think the hunt sab will turn up at the first meet and Shula will be well and truly rattled when she spots him.

I wonder how she'll deal with Rob when he turns up expecting to ride on of her horses?

Johnny shaves??

I'm amazed Tony's so keen to do up another old tractor. I think the legal bills will put a stop to it though.

Shouldn't Rob be house hunting?

Ugh, sinister and dangerous, Rob shouldn't be at large.
Come hunt sab, come on Charlie!
Speak out, Shula, your conscience must be niggling!

Rob doesn't get it at all does he? An application to the family court to have Jack's name re registered as Gideon, his birth certificate changed in the face of opposition from Jack's mother. In the face of strong legal advice that he doesn't have a chance of this he's given clear instructions. Is he getting legal aid because he has no income? that's our money folks

His description of the court appointed psychologist was sublime - he thinks she's too young and too female to have a clue about men, glorious. I do hope we get the highlights if not a full copy of the report.

Well! Knob is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!

His utterances still have the ability to leave me feeling Let's all hope that the psychiatric report reveals his true inner self!

Although of course if it does, he will challenge it..........

PS Sorry Jonny fans, he's starting to get a bit nauseatingly too good to be true.

I did wonder why Bert wasn't invited to Jill's birthday tea.

A few characters have turned " nice" over the last few days. Is that the new script writers. ??? Perhaps Rob and Ursula are the next due a make over. Some hope.

Alistair is a boring fart, seems incredible that he has come back from (almost) ruin, financially, to be able to consider having the funds for Saint Shula to become joint master of the hunt?

Jill still sometimes sounds as if she is being goosed, although not so frequently.

Bert Fry hasn't been heard for a while, but no doubt he still goes "Wer" before saying anything (by the by, he has a very Worcestershire accent)

Susan's pronunciation of certain words is still very irritating (although possibly authentic for somewhere between Bryn and Ambridge) but thank goodness she hasn't referred to "Christyfur" in a while!

Does anyone else remember Neil's classic utterance "wine? on a MONDAY!!

AjayF I wondered about Alistair as well he is suddenly sounding very attentive to Shula. Is he back gambling again? or has he got himself a floosie.

Why has Alistair gone all 'husbandy' all of a sudden. What's his game?

I do hope not Nelliemoser. Jill is one of the best older female characters. How can the script writers consider killing Jill but letting Joe continue to grump about.

I think they are getting ready to loose Jill. Perhaps the actress wants to retire, we have had lots of hints.

I remember the SWs killing off the lovely sensible Betty Tucker. The actor who played Betty wanted to go to be with her family in Australia or New Zealand. That came as a nasty shock.

Great idea merlot. I'd hope that didn't mean just/Adam losing Ian. I began to believe that Charlie did fall in love with Adam

Funny how when Charlie was threatening Adam's relationship with Ian we wanted him to leave. Now it looks as though Ian is leaving we want Charlie back to kick Rob into touch good and proper.

Charlie was a bit of a bastard in his early days. Susan was the only person in Ambridge who sucked up to him just as she did Rob until the scales fell from her eyes. Charlie then went all wet lettuce on us.

I'd love to see a storyline featuring Rob and Charlie at loggerheads and Charlie uncovering all the stuff that seems to have been swept under the carpet.

I responded by thinking, good for you Ian, LTB (to use a well known mumsnet piece of advice). I also wondered if this would free Adam up to contact Charlie, who could come to Ambridge and tell all about Rob. The next thoughts were that it would be better if Adam and Ian finally sat down and talked through what has happened in their relationship, you know - as people do when things go wrong and one partner is seriously thinking of leaving. He and Ian love each other. Adam has been modelling himself on Brian, time he stopped if he wants a contented and peaceful life.

No, no, no to Ian going!!! He's one of the best.

Emma's bladder is a star character.

Do the Archers characters have bladders?.......discuss.

Could be a UTI, I do think they are highlighting her out of character reaction. Although personally I could not agree MORE about Toby.
