Alice and her drink problem The Archers

What is really annoying me is the ' temporary schedule'.

When we are going back to Friday and Sunday evening's on the Archers?. I wrote to the BBC again and had a load of rubbish about covid which didn't make a lot of sense. Other programmes are managing and they are not even radio.

I feel it's a back door way of saving money.

There are quite a few older members of the Ambridge community. It may take a while for them to get back to the studio.

They are discussing the psychology of Soaps, and the Archers in particular tonight in All in the Mind R4. Might just catch up with it later, may be interesting.

Ghastly Brian really is Mr Oblivious, incapable of contemplating that Alice is anything but clever and competent.

* LullyDully* completely agree. I don’t think it will evercreturn to six days a week. The BBC have made no announcements about scheduling since last August.

BBC are planning to cut several hours of drama on Radio 4.

I think drama has been one of the best things on the BBC which it still occasionally does well, but now with a reduced income. There is so much competition from commercial stations, and inevitably the BBC is in decline.
I believe that this is the government’s aim.

OMG. Just seen realistic portrayal of baby faces on macaroons (for baby showers) on Twitter. Once seen never forgotten, be warned!

Yuck. I won't sleep tonight. Baby macaroons.......why?????

I listened to the omnibus yesterday, having missed some episodes during the week. Great writing and acting. All the key characters were superb, especially Alice and Chris. Her attempts to manipulate Jim, the awful switch from charm to threats were so realistic.
It’s as good as the coercive control storyline.

After listening to the episodes of the past week or so, I have come to the unhappy conclusion that if, in real life, I had Jennifer for a mother and Soosan for my MIL, then I'd be on the booze, too.
