The Archers

I have remembered that his name is Vince!

Apparently the gentleman in the care home is played by Jasper Carrot, who was upset by listeners claiming his voice was too similar to that of the chap who is friendly with Elizabeth (his name escapes me). I have to agree, although JC says one accent is B'ham and the other Black Country.

I’m so glad the funeral is over, it all dragged on too long. I’m sorry Chelsea isn’t going to be a tour guide at Lower Locksley, she would have wakened things up a bit! Also sorry that Ben’s issue with the gentleman in the care home was so easily sorted - doesn’t really reflect RL.

I’m not a regular Archers listener but this funeral has taken such a long long time.

With you on that one merlotgran

I agree. Can we move on now please?

Thank goodness the funeral is over with!

Good for Susan!

Good to see Will back and here’s hoping he has helped Brian

I think Chelsea and Tracey have brightened up the Archers no end. I love Jazzer too.

Oops yes! Apologies for me confusing the Horrobins & Grundys; as a longtime listener I should know better. I do love Chelsea though.

I like the Chelsea character.
She owns up to mistakes and learns quickly from them. So many other young characters seem to take years to evolve and some of the younger men were basically interchangeable for years it seems. This wasn't helped by most of them sounding "straight out of drama school"

Chelsea is a Horrobin (Susan's niece I think). I had to look her up as I am out of date with the Archers and there are so many new characters and youngsters growing up. Yes, it would be great if she married Freddie.

NotSpaghetti, I too have wondered whether Freddie & Chelsea may (in the fullness of time) end up together/married. Then Chelsea would be the "chatelaine" of Lower Loxley; quite a step up for a mere Grundy. (Susan would be beside herself with pride!)

Maybe Ben and Ruaribwill be mutually supportive now.

I would love to see Freddie going out with Chelsea!
She drives and challenges him and he gives her a boost and is encouraging.

I think she needs a little salon in an empty stable block next.... 🤞

Go Alice! She’s really stepped up for her half=brother. Go Freddie too, great mediator! The next generation starting to take the lead, perhaps?

NotS Julianne is in next week’s cast, so that avenue is still open and Noluthando is back too!

Ruairi’s mental health must surely need as much care as Ben’s. I hope he soon gets it.

Ha ha! Yes. Maybe eGJ

Thanks NotS After tonight we may have heard the last of Julianne!

He says so, eGJ

Is Brian here for the duration?

With Jennifer, Shula, Peggy, Christine, Joe and Robert gone or no longer participating, there are not many of the old crew left! I wonder who will be next to depart?

Iam64 where did you see information about the demise of Angela Piper. I thought she had just decided to retire from acting.

Fran bern, sincere apologies, badly written (by me As Rob might have said.

Angela Piper had a stroke, which was serious enough to stop her recording. She is alive, her character Jenny Dahling has died.
So sorry for posting in haste
