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!

Talking of accents, (I've just given Will his slap)I thought we were listening to Harrison talking to Clarrie until Alan's name was mentioned. I really can't tell them apart.

Right, who's going to sign up to the "I want to slap Will Grundy, good and hard" campaign?

Please form an orderly queue........

Double slaps for having a really, really annoying accent are not only allowed, but actively encouraged grin

Am I wrong to be on Miranda's side?

Glad to see the cousins supporting each other but Pip needs reminding that a secret is only a secret when only one person knows.

merlotgran Thu 27-Apr-17 19:23:37

What's up with Pip's voice? She sounds like a girl trying to sound like a man.

Weird.

I think Rob has had a bad influence on Tom, from when he persuaded him to disappear to Canada. Was Tom always the greedy emotionally stunted person he sounded tonight? So keen to sue David and Ruth.

That's where he went!

merlotgran Wed 26-Apr-17 12:36:33

For all we know Rob Titchener could be Balaclava Man.

merlotgran Wed 26-Apr-17 12:34:59

Just a tad, Lazigirl grin

Lazigirl Wed 26-Apr-17 12:14:37

I'm rather addicted to "Line of Duty" now merlot which has a tad more action!

merlotgran Wed 26-Apr-17 10:15:24

I prefer it now. I got fed up with the Rob/Helen storyline dominating nearly every episode.

I'm loving Pip's comeuppance and the Lilian/Justin/Matt/Miranda entanglement. The dumping of ponies in Lynda's field will no doubt become the latest rural issue to be highlighted now IBR has been done and dusted.

I just hope they don't return to the tedious accounts of Roy's love life.

Lazigirl Wed 26-Apr-17 09:51:22

Now that TA has returned to the mundane domestic I'm getting a little bit er....bored with it. I didn't think I'd say this after the melodrama of the last couple of years. Ah well, never happy!

GracesGranMK2 Wed 26-Apr-17 09:11:10

I think it was the 'Farm' who leant Pip the money Merlot but not sure.

Elrel Tue 25-Apr-17 23:13:13

Lilian is far too confident about the future with Justin, I reckon she's riding for a fall. Miranda's phone call to Justin may have been the spanner in the works. Perhaps he and Lilian really will have to be happy with no money! Fat chance!

I don't remember Ruth giving Pip a substantial sum. I thought it was David who loaned her £5000 to start up her mob grazing enterprise with Adam. I could have missed it though.

Ruth's mother took out an insurance policy when she was alive which, together with her house, made her estate worth about half a million.

Looks like there won't be much left after they've paid out all the compensation.

Odd that there's been no mention of the Ambridge farmers insuring their herds against just about everything they can think of. The NFU are big insurers so I can't understand why David, who used to be the local chair, didn't have it all in hand. hmm

I didn't know Ruth's mum had so much money, I thought she lived in a bungalow oop north. Didn't Ruth travel to New Zealand for several months, and give Pip a substantial hand out from her inheritance?

chelseababy Mon 24-Apr-17 21:29:14

Ruth's mum died and she inherited everything.

Luckygirl Mon 24-Apr-17 20:22:23

Where do Ruth and David get all this dosh from to be doling out compensation?

merlotgran Mon 24-Apr-17 19:47:06

So, Pip is going to let David brush over the fact that she was responsible for the cows getting out but seems to have forgotten that Ed knows and David doesn't know that Ed knows? hmm

Ruth says she hates all the deception but still hasn't told David about Pip's mob grazing profits going up the Swanee. hmm

If David calls in his loan from Kenton that's Toby stuffed.....again.

And how nice of Justin to tell Lil she could do whatever she liked in HER house. grin

Lazigirl Sat 22-Apr-17 18:25:50

Well done Ruth. Just what Pip needed, a few home truths.

Lazigirl Sun 16-Apr-17 11:54:18

I agree Lucky. TA is turning into a pantomime with Matt re-entering in the main role as baddie, but who will be the fairy godmother amidst all this chaos?

Luckygirl Fri 14-Apr-17 22:40:15

The SWs have got rid of Rob T so simply needed another evil male character - so let's wheel out Matt!

chelseababy Fri 14-Apr-17 21:49:34

Spoiler alert!

At last Pip has told her parents the cows got out! Now for the cow past to hit the fan!

Lazigirl Mon 10-Apr-17 16:35:20

I am wrong! Looks like it is the same ol Matt.

Lazigirl Mon 10-Apr-17 16:19:40

I don't think it's the same actor playing Mat but haven't checked.
