The Archers

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"

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

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

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

Good for Susan!

Thank goodness the funeral is over with!

I agree. Can we move on now please?

With you on that one merlotgran

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

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.

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 have remembered that his name is Vince!

Lucy Davis, Jasper Carrot’s daughter played Hayley in TA

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

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

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.

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

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

I did too.

We were both wrong Wyllow

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

I did too.

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

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

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

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.
