Can't find the old thread.

How silly the Matt storyline is - like the Rob storyline it is OTT. No-one is as villainous as Matt is being portrayed - they have just made him a stereotype of evil and it is ridiculous. I have never met anyone who encapsulates evil to this degree.

Stop it now you crazy scriptwriters and give as some storylines that reflect real life.

Lizzie was backed into a corner over the meal, Iam. It was all Lily's idea.

I think Lily will see the light when she realises Russ has no intentions of telling his wife about her. She's already having doubts.

Hope it's soon.

I haven't heard the episode but friends tell me that Lizzie was calm and even invited russ for a meal with them. I suspect Lizzie is playing the long game here. Inviting unsuitable partners to eat with the family can be helpful in encouraging the smitten one to see their adored one isn't quite as wonderful as they'd thought.

Oh dear! I'm off abroad on holiday for two weeks so will miss all the excitement. Please keep this thread updated!wink

My my how broad minded Elizabeth is. Let's hope Freddy doesn't get off lightly and what happened to the carefree intelligent Lily? Surely the DHT is not allowed to sleep with his students in a sixth form college. Come back Nigel I say . Goodness knows why he went up on that roof in the first place.

So glad I’ve found this thread. Since retiring I’ve no-one to discuss The Archers with. Thank you Gransnetsmile

Poor Lizzie, maybe she can take a leaf out of Kate's book and run away, or have a real mid life crisis like Shula. (only joking)

Flipping heck, Elizabeth. That was a frisbee to the head moment!!

merlotgran Sat 25-Aug-18 09:07:13

Wait till the Borchester Echo finds out. shock

Lilly has got Elizabeth's full attention now, just as she's always wanted. How long before the Fairbrother affair is brought up I wonder.

Alypoole Sat 25-Aug-18 07:07:07

What a cool unruffled mother Elizabeth is! So chilled. She’s found out her son is dealing in drugs, lost her drinks licence, lost wedding bookings and she’s as cool as a cucumber. Wow! Will we see some reaction to the latest news?

Elizabeth can't use it now she knows what's what DM.

DoraMarr Fri 24-Aug-18 19:30:56

Hmm, so will Russell’s fulsome praise for Freddie be accepted by the court, since Lily and he are an item?

phoenix Fri 24-Aug-18 19:19:40

WELL! That's given Elizabeth something to think about!

I've listened (with gaps) since it began. I've never quite adjusted to 'an every story of farming folk' replacing Dick Barton Special Agent however.

Iam64 Mon 20-Aug-18 18:28:31

I'm iam64 and I have listened to the archers since 1968. I've had the occasional lapse but I LOVE THE ARCHERS. Out and Proud.

Elrel Mon 20-Aug-18 17:50:43

I'm Elrel and I LISTEN TO THE ARCHERS!!!
There, I've admitted it!

Lazigirl Sun 19-Aug-18 19:47:38

No lets SHOUT Merlot. As I said out and proud!

Alypoole Sun 19-Aug-18 19:45:22

You may be right merlotgran! Ha ha ( can’t get the grin emoji to work)

merlotgran Sat 18-Aug-18 20:18:00

Judging by some of the comments on another thread about listening to TA I think we should be whispering on here. [shh]

I usually listen to the omnibus but not being able to get to sleep listened to all this week’s episodes in the early hours. Now know where Lily was but won’t give anything away.

Overall quite a boring week in the end.

Iam64 Sat 18-Aug-18 19:37:22

I've been away all week and reading the last few posts has definitely made me want to listen to the Omnibus tomorrow

Lazigirl Sat 18-Aug-18 11:56:58

Never liked Susan, but she plays a great character, and she's gone up a notch in my ratings now smile

merlotgran Sat 18-Aug-18 10:05:26

The only interesting thing about Harrison detecting who nicked off with Lynda's llama (he went for the person least likely to) is why he didn't apply the same logic to who ran over Matt Crawford. hmm

Having at last solved a crime, he's now going to keep it a secret. grin

Lazigirl Thu 16-Aug-18 20:03:58

Poor Elizabeth, it just needs Lily to get pregnant now to complete the tale of woe. At least we have Jazzer in ill fitting suit to look forward to as 'bridesman' tomorrow.

Iam64 Tue 14-Aug-18 21:04:33

Maybe so Grumppa but, you repeated the diss.
