Is anyone still listening or have you given up?

Pip, Mia, Ian and Alistair are all from the same "shoot me now" voice/script school.
.... and then there's Mr Plod! 😬

It's the result of the BBC's relentless pursuit of diversity.......Lord save us.

Oh, it's Alistair's voice that makes me want to climb the walls - he always sounds as if he's eternally apologising. What a drip.

Every time Ian features in an episode, I think, Shoot me now!

I'm okay with Ian. It's Pip who has that effect on me. Can't stand the character or the actor's voice.👎

Are Brad and Mia practising for a Silly Voice Contest?

Plus, today's episode was a right mish-mash of pointless waffle.

I'm wondering if going up Lakey Hill is a euphemism for something else? blushblushblush

I think it always has been, RM!

Hopeful hopeful....Susan talks to Chris.............

Delila Tue 03-Sept-24 20:02:45

Now we’re getting somewhere - Susan’s on the case! 👍🏼

Iam64 Tue 03-Sept-24 20:00:09

RosiesMaw, surely not
Especially if Susan’s chilli is involved

AT LAST!!!!

Thank goodness for Susan and Joy! 👏👏

Both Brad and Mia seem to be starting term at university a week early, but that’s what probably suits the script writers. And what rubbish was the rubbish storyline!

Delila Mon 02-Sept-24 20:11:44

I wonder if the Archers scriptwriters are incapable of running two (or more) interesting storylines simultaneously?

Allsorts Mon 02-Sept-24 06:43:23

I think/hope George will wise up to Clive, give himself up, I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for him.. I think if I was his mother I would shop him, getting rid of Clive by doing so but landing George in prison but you can’t let an innocent person take the blame.
How many marriages are like Fallons, she does not want children, her husband does, he loves her so accepts it.
Archers has little to do farming and more about the people and causes.

Was he looking for the phone number for his daughter?

I also suspect he won't go it seemed all too easy.

What did Clive hide/plant in the bedroom at Tracy’s house

I hadn't considered he might be concealing something. I'd supposed he was just snooping around to see if there was any cash or cards lying about that he could pinch.

So, cricket is done and dusted and Clive has hopefully slung his hook.

I wonder what will be the next diversionary storyline?

Oh, I doubt Uncle Cloive has gone quietly - he'll come bouncing back full of determination to wreak revenge. It's all too suspicious.

mae13 Sun 01-Sept-24 19:23:44

And Ambridge are the winners (naturally) and it's all thanks to George - also naturally! Now he's a hero all over again.......fancy that.
