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.

Did I hear right? BRIAN getting his car fixed?? The plot thickens................... grin

Why Josh, Merlot?

merlotgran Wed 01-Nov-17 23:04:28

Pip made the remark about Josh flying past in his new car.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 01-Nov-17 23:06:59

Philip is the builder I think. Something to do with Lillian's bathroom and the hunt kennels ... ... ... possibly confused

GracesGranMK2 Wed 01-Nov-17 23:11:53

Well spotted eGJ. Now is that a clue or a red herring?

Bet it turns out to be a passing sales rep in a hurry to get home.

The Pantemime season's started early in Ambridge...........

Nic got into a car too didn't she?
Alice has turned into the resident drunk. Maybe it was her + she's forgotten!

eGJ Thu 02-Nov-17 20:46:31

Nice one AyjayF grin Adam was rather edgy I think tonight!

merlotgran Thu 02-Nov-17 21:10:55

We mustn't forget the angry taxi driver either. grin

Working on Star Trek principles it has to be Philip the builder.

You have to spot the person - someone talking and looking like part of the group who beam down but who you have never seen before - they will be the one to die. I think this may be why Philip has been mentioned and a bit of a character formedgrin

I nearly switched off tonight. I am so sick of Ian's whining and I don't blame Adam for blowing a gasket. He can't do anything without that whingeing voice wanting to know if he 'wants to talk about it' angry

HannahLoisLuke Sat 04-Nov-17 09:26:55

Yes, I'm fed up with Ian's whining too. Why is he so intent on a baby when both he and Adam work such long hours.
Just hope that fizzles out.
I'm more interested in what Matt has in those suitcases!
Any ideas?

maryeliza54 Sat 04-Nov-17 10:29:10

I agree about Ian but wasn't Adam's blowing a gasket to do with the fact that he had punched Matt and if Matt sequels it will put the adoption of a baby in jeopardy

Who splatted Matt? An academic analysis of the likely perpetrator.

This is very, very clever, funny and adds loads of points we might have forgotten. I would say I cannot believe someone spent so much time putting it together but that is the Ambridge effect at work.

GracesGranMK2 Sun 05-Nov-17 13:29:24

I should say thanks to BBC The Archers FB page as that is were I found it.

merlotgran Sun 05-Nov-17 13:40:48

Thanks, Graces but I'll go with the last sentence, 'We anxiously await the reveal!'

I honestly don't think I'm going to find the time to read the rest of it. shock

Lazigirl Mon 06-Nov-17 19:29:35

I think they'll string the whodunit out til Christmas at least.
As for Lilian, she's gone quite bonkers over Matt. Hopefully his case will burst open as he struggles from the hotel, to reveal wads of stolen???.

GracesGranMK2 Tue 07-Nov-17 10:16:00

They may LG if they go down the soap-opera route with a fairly short run from beginning, middle to end of a story-line. I would love to think we get a more Archer's script with it gradually being less talked about an thought about but rearing its head sometime in the future to throw a spanner in the works.

I think of Matt as a modern day Nelson Gabriel - popping up and disappearing when least expected.

Scribbles Tue 07-Nov-17 16:17:09

I said the same thing to OH last night, GracesGran. Matt will keep on turning up like a bad penny and, who knows? waaaaay down the line, he may reappear as a resident at the Laurels and rekindle his romance with fellow resident and widow, Lilian Elliott!

Nelliemoser Tue 07-Nov-17 19:07:21

Do you think the suitcases might be full of white powder. Or laundered money? ? wink he is extremely concerned about his suitcases.

Listening live just now I thought all the grunting was them having a quick bonk. Yuk !!!!

GracesGranMK2 Tue 07-Nov-17 19:11:34

Someone's got a contract out on Matt?

grumppa Tue 07-Nov-17 19:27:59

I don't think you smuggle white powder INTO Ecuador.

merlotgran Tue 07-Nov-17 19:32:10

grin

eGJ Wed 08-Nov-17 13:29:52

Those horses are a clue; though I don't think it is horsemeat in the cases! grin
