Anyone heard tonight’s episode? If not and you are a long time listener I advise you to listen on catch-up. No spoilers

eGJ Thu 23-Mar-23 19:16:22

Sillier and sillier…..ugh

It’s going the way of M&S. Trying to appeal to the yoof who don’t shop/listen anyway!

There was SO much build-up with the scarf/brooch/new furniture nonsense that it was obviously going to happen.

It feels as though the episodes recently have been written by school-leavers.

To be fair, if I walked in on my step father pinning my recently deceased mother’s brooch on a woman I’d never met I’m not sure how I’d react.

Shocked wouldn’t come close.

eGJ Wed 22-Mar-23 19:37:44

She’s only here for a week, so only two days to retract!

Has Debbie lost the plot? She was horrible to Brian and Joy. He’d behaved himself after Siobhan as far as I remember.

Farzanah Sun 19-Mar-23 19:47:48

It’s about time Debbie bit the dust imo.

eGJ Sun 19-Mar-23 19:19:11

Well what a turn up! Not only Debbie, but Justin being behind the Charging Stations and using his Village Shop to spy"………dreadful doings!

eGJ Tue 14-Mar-23 11:29:05

Debbie’s back from Hungary next week! In person too😀

NotSpaghetti Sun 12-Mar-23 22:16:26

Or is it going into the left field 🤔?

eGJ Sun 12-Mar-23 21:34:27

The vehicle charging station came out of the left field as well!

NotSpaghetti Sun 12-Mar-23 21:23:08

eGJ and then Helen organising a builder (with no discussion) so that the public can gawp whilst Susan and Clarrie are working making cheese etc without thinking they wouldn't like it - absurd.

eGJ Sun 12-Mar-23 21:16:57

And Freddie and his revamping and tour guides is dragging too NotS

NotSpaghetti Sun 12-Mar-23 20:51:21

I think all the stuff with the artwork was a bit tedious.

I thought the old chap in the care home’s voice sounded a bit like the actor who played Matt Crawford, but rougher.

I did too.

Me too.
I don’t think Brian’s leaving the show.
That’s interesting eGJ. Thought she’d retired.

eGJ Sun 12-Mar-23 20:21:47

Where will Brian go? Is he leaving too? Did you notice it was Judy Bennet aka Shula who produced The Archers last week!

Delila Wed 08-Mar-23 18:33:46

We were both wrong Wyllow blush

My dh thinks the difficult care home resident is Jasper Carrot 🥕

Yes, Shysal, I found their voices difficult to tell apart too.

shysal Tue 07-Mar-23 07:50:56

I also have a problem with the vicar and the policeman sounding similar. They were speaking to each other on last week's omnibus and I really couldn't tell which was which except by what they were saying.

Delila Mon 06-Mar-23 16:45:49

I can’t distinguish between several of the younger male characters. I have to hope someone will mention a name.
