Archers Addicts.

Patricia Hodge I think was Camilla Ajayf

Camilla was a glory wasn’t she, Nigel would have had nothing in common with her apart from being posh. I still believe killing Nigel was an act of cruelty to him, Elizabeth, the twins and the Archers followers. He was such good fun - we need a bit of fun more than ever

Where did Camilla suddenly pop up from like a pantomime dame? I think it was obvious from the beginning that Freddy would go to the stables. I still think Russ may turn out ok Iam64 but you may well be right. TA is a wonderful respite from politics

Great character and gave Freddy the chance to live at the stables. He’s good with horses and Shula will look after him. He’s the chance to make a good career with her, could take over eventually, stay in Ambridge and rehabilitate himself.
Never trust a freeloader who ingratiated himself with students then their vulnerable mothers. He’s a chancer

Has anyone heard of Camilla before? Or has she just been invented by the new editor and scriptwriters?

Also I think David’s outburst with Kenton the other day was not in character. I know he has an issue about the loan, but I don’t think he would have gone that far.

Do we know who played the awful Camilla in tonights episode? What a dreadful character!

I have been so out of touch I have missed a lot of the Archers.
Fountainpen I quite like the new Archers writers efforts, you have been livening it all up.

I dont see why they have opened another Archers thread I thought it was immortal.
I think I lost track of the Archers thread when my old tablet died.
RIP Google nexus tablet. I prefered you.

Had a bit of a listen this morning, perhaps Elizabeth with have an affair with happy chappy Will, they both have kids that are causing a few problems, and they could run off into the distance to forget their woes. If it wasn't for Jazza I would dispair, he is the only one that is making me laugh. Hey ho roll on next week.

Yes, she was a lot kinder than I would have been under the circumstances!

Russ is such a sponger, that's what I have against him. He never seems to pay his way, or work and he let Elizabeth foot his debts. Not nice, even if he is a good artist.

Will has no emotional intelligence. He said such shocking things to poor Mia. However, I was so impressed by the tactful Brummie granny yesterday. She will hopefully have Poppy soon under her wing.

Actually, I agree, I can’t always tell who’s speaking till I get the gist of the conversation!
Also agree about Will, want to feel sorry for him, but he’s so awful!

It's the end of an era with the demise of Joe. How can we possibly know who is speaking without him announcing their names....."now then Tom Archer". Many characters are so hard to tell apart. I have changed my mind about Russ, still have a few reservations about him. but he has turned out better than expected and may well end up with Elizabeth. I love Jazzer, he's my favourite character Avor2 and have no trouble with his accent. As to Will he has always portrayed a character with little understanding or feeling for others.

Think you could well be right, Sarah65 and no doubt there will be much "Well, as least he died at Grange Farm, the place he loved, and didn't have to move to No.1 The Green"

But what will happen to Bartelby & Gem? (Although I still think his coffin should be taken to St Stephens by pony & trap, it's what he would have wanted.)

Then there's Daphne & Adele to consider............

Probably, Clarrie will take him in a cup of tea, and he’ll have died peacefully with a smile on his face

The RT's 'The Archers this week' for May 18-24 says that the last scenes recorded with Joe in April will be aired next week. The production team are still considering storylines beyond these episodes. Any guesses about the circumstances of his demise? I think he might just die in his sleep.

I think Russ is okay. He really loves Lily and I get the feeling he is genuinely trying to help Elizabeth. I also think Elizabeth will get too besotted with him

Just how thick can Will be?!!!!

"Oh you're taking her winter clothes as well, I suppose there might be a cold snap"

"If you take the pictures, Mia 's room will look pretty bare when she comes back"

Give me strength!

Huge credit card debts No-casha - geddit?

I thought Tom’s wife’s Natasha not Nocasha?

Sadly I am old enough to have listened to it for ever. We never heard from Auntie Prue who was always in the kitchen baking, (Uncle Tom's wife - going back far to long ago) What has happened to Lilian, Jennifer, Brian etc., they are a bit quiet lately. I know William has had a bit of a bad time lately but please stop making him sound like a spoilt 5 year old, no wonder the kids want to run away!!! No idea what is happening with Jazza, can't understand what he is saying only recognise every other word, bless him. Tom - well - we told you so!!!!!!
Shula please get back together with Alistair. Lily get rid of Russ, Freddy, grow up, I agree with you linamillion I don't recognise any of the young fellas anymore.
I have just read this back and it looks like I don't enjoy the programme, not true, I love it, and am enjoying all your great comment, you have me hooked !!

I was wondering that too phoenix. Was it 'cobbled together' from old scripts or recorded a while ago??

Joe on tonight's episode, was it recorded a while ago (although I thought recordings were made within a reasonable time frame, to keep up with current events, weather etc), or was it a Joe impersonator?

No sign of Nocasha in this week’s cast; could she be ready to take Tom to the cleaners (along with Jazzer!)

Ha ha. I've been to many art exhibitions like that. You only have to look at the Turner Prize exhibition!
