The Archers - first couple in the world to have twin babies

Plus the fuss that Tom is making because Natasha’s mum is coming to help out for a while.You think he’d have been pleased that there will be an extra pair of hands to support his wife and babies. No, Tom is miffed because his mum isn’t going to be doing the helping. Even though we know she will be…..

Nova! And Celyn! Well I think there’s more fuss to come

Well not Nova and Celyn after all!

And now I’ve listened to it all. Please scriptwriters there have been twins before and why change Tom’s character?

Aren’t Shula and Kenton twins?

As well as Lily and Freddie.

Yes they are geekeese. Though that was a very long time ago, even in Archers terms. We just got on with it but it’s
all different now.
Nova snd Celyn. If that’s their names I much Prefer the latter.

Oh yes forgot lily and Freddie. Loadsa ?‍♀️ twins. We need triplets!

Oh dear, perhaps "The Archers" is not your sort of programme anymore. I seem to remember a similar fuss over names when Shula and Kenton were born.

Well done from me script writers. They seem to be better than some of our posters in keeping in touch with societies changes. I think both characters are well drawn.

Don’t forget the cricket playing identical twins who cheated last week when the better player of the two batted for his brother.

Can’t remember their names.

Tom has always been a fairly irritating character, quite self obsessed etc. I think Natasha is going to become ill, they are signposting the oh life is wonderful too heavily.

I agree with DaisyAnne. DH & I are enjoying the storyline. The Archers isn't for everyone, but IMO they often often hit the nail on the head when it comes to depicting life & its happenings. I've known a few parents (with twins) who certainly had a demanding time, for the first year or two.

The whole point of listening to TA surely is that some of the characters get on your nerves.

THats true, Galaxy, it’s supposed to be real life warts and all.

I'm not sure that any writer wants simply that. What they do want is rounded characters.

I think the girl's name is Seren, which is Welsh for star.

They are both girls, aren't they?

I wonder how often they do get the sex wrong? Better than before scans, when they often didn't even know it was twins.

I just wondered if anyone else finds it difficult to listen to the

voice of poor Simon Willams who plays Justin Elliot. It just

makes me want to cough and clear my throat all the time.

I feel sorry for him if he has a health problem but I do feel

he should consider retiring.
he should retire.

I am not sure they are very clear who Justin is. His character isnt very consistent. I know most people dislike Lillian but I have always had a soft spot for her.

Lilian’s one woman shows are wonderful! she pretends she is called Sunny Ormonde, WE know better of course she IS Lilian!
Never really understood how she ended up with Justin, who gets written in so infrequently nowadays.

I do not have a problem with the character Justin Elliot it is just

so difficult listening to the voice/ throat problems the actor Simon Willimas is suffering from.

A permanent " Frog in the throat" sound.

It makes me have to cough to clear my throat all the time. !!

What a change for an Archers character to go into hospital and give birth without any drama.

Can’t last.

I know most people dislike Lillian but I have always had a soft spot for her.

I've always liked Lillian; I think she'd be great fun as a friend! As for Kate; now she does get on my wick! As does Fallon, of late.

Is it just me or has Natasha become more Welsh recently? Seren and Nova!

It can only get more cringeworthy ?
