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!

His comment comparing himself to the broken and mended jug was an inspired piece of writing IMO

GracesGranMK2 Fri 28-Jul-17 17:44:56

I shed a tear too, which only goes to show how well written the characters are. They are definitely part of my life smile Ed is one of my favourite characters and to me he was a high point (or sad point) of the episode.

Listened to last night's repeat (Caroline's memorial)
I wonder if the actors were making it a memorial to the actress who played her?
Anyway, I thought it was quite moving and I admit I cried. (I know it is only acting!)

I can' remember the last time I laughed out loud at an Archers episode.

Happened to see an Archers SW today, not his work but he'll pass on my amusement to the writer. I think he was enjoying a flapjack ...

Elrel Tue 25-Jul-17 23:11:12

OTT but hilarious. I thought! Bodes ill for the Fête but there's always a problem about who will open it. I shall never look at flapjacks in the same way again. Clearly they are up there with Terry Pratchett's Dwarf Combat Bread - which I thought was fictional until we encountered it in Umbria!

Is Harrison the only police officer in Borsetshire? Those police cuts are savage?

phoenix Tue 25-Jul-17 19:15:07

Although a well aimed flap Jack could be seen as a dangerous weapon............

Jill arrested? Finger printed? A story line too far, m'thinks!

phoenix Fri 21-Jul-17 10:42:51

Totally agree with you about Jill, merlot Also feel it's ridiculous for her to try and get Brian to cancel his reservation! Not a realistic storyline at all.

merlotgran Fri 21-Jul-17 08:54:11

I'm finding the current Jill Archer storyline thoroughly unconvincing. If she were ten years younger, maybe it would make some sense and that's a realistic comment not an ageist one.

Whenever I hear mention of the Duxford Sisters I don't think of them running a restaurant but singing in close harmony at the Bridge Farm café.

Has Roy found love with Lexie?

suzied Fri 14-Jul-17 07:02:46

The Archers has been dullsville lately. Hopefully there will be some more interesting storylines coming along now with Caroline's demise. Probably we'll hear more from the ghastly Willyum.Whatever happened to the ponies found in Lynda,s field? Apart from the one Shula rehomed? Why does no one in Ambridge seems to think giving a puppy as an unsolicited gift undesirable? Will Roy and Lexie get together? Nothing really to get excited about though.

I hope it's had all the necessary jabs seeing as Lilian's taking it out and about.

GracesGranMK2 Thu 13-Jul-17 21:31:28

breed not bread!! So sorry

GracesGranMK2 Thu 13-Jul-17 21:31:06

They have written the spread of the news well although I found the actually episode hard to listen to sad

Do we know what bread Ruby is meant to be. It helps with the mind pictures to know. She is obviously quite a small dog.

AyjayF Tue 11-Jul-17 19:37:22

What a wonderful + moving episode this evening. A fitting tribute to Sara Coward

merlotgran Tue 04-Jul-17 19:24:42

Tom for Ruairi's attorney?

Really?

GracesGranMK2 Tue 04-Jul-17 19:18:12

I am so sad that they are turning Pheobe into her mother's daughter through and through but I suppose it's a possibility. Hopefully someone will make her more grounded but it's not going to be her grandmother!

phoenix Tue 04-Jul-17 19:16:42

Manipulative little madam!

merlotgran Mon 03-Jul-17 21:34:33

I hoped Phoebe might turn out to be the hard working, grounded one but they're all entitled brats.

This will be music to Josh's ears.

Luckygirl Mon 03-Jul-17 21:21:40

It is beyond credence that she has turned into such a brat - it feels as though they are just groping around for some "issue" to add to the plot. Just silly really.

phoenix Mon 03-Jul-17 21:18:38

She'd be damn lucky to get a summer job now, even at Grey Gables with her Dad on side!

Most sensible, savvy students will have put applications in well before the end of term.

MawBroon Mon 03-Jul-17 20:23:20

There's always got to be somebody, hasn'tbthere?
Kate was a spoiled brat, Pip likewise, Helen a snooty pain, now it's Phoebe who has turned into a toffee nosed jumped up little snob. Roy does NOT deserve this!

AyjayF Mon 03-Jul-17 19:58:23

Oh dear. Phoebe has gone rogue!
