Is anyone still listening or have you given up?

Delila Thu 05-Sept-24 19:54:16

Yes, excellent acting!

Luckygirl3 Thu 05-Sept-24 20:36:14

That's torn it!

Iam64 Thu 05-Sept-24 21:01:27

I’ve not caught up with tonight’s episode - and it’s only Thursday, what will tomorrows cliff hanger be

Wyllow3 Thu 05-Sept-24 21:11:48

At last......Great episode and wondering exactly the same thing, Iam

(unless course the knock on the door tonight wasn't the police....)

merlotgran Thu 05-Sept-24 21:38:47

It could be Joy. She’s popping up everywhere at the moment! 😂

They were pushing their luck that the police did not arrive before George as he would have done a runner.

Farzanah Fri 06-Sept-24 11:43:28

Bated breath for tonight. George could still do a runner. I don’t believe the police would have been that quick off the mark.

It could be if it was Harrison, he doesn't live far away!

eGJ Fri 06-Sept-24 19:17:07

Well that was nail biting and good acting. We must hope for a reconciliation for Emur, bur we’ve all been saying she was wrong to keep it hidden!

merlotgran Fri 06-Sept-24 19:44:45

Mia was lovely as usual.

What a SHOUTY episode, eh?

This storyline will be milked for all it's worth up to Christmas and beyond - all the legal bits and bobs will drag on and on, Squire Aldridge will go off like a volcanoe and then......George will have a brainstorm and say he's made it all up and Alice was driving after all. Really.

This has the potential to establish a three-way feud between the Grundy's, Carter's and Aldridge's that will keep the SW's busy for the next few generations. At least.

I’ve now heard Thursdays episode - vintage Archers, good script writing, excellent acting.
I haven’t heard the Friday cliffhanger but looking forward to it. The Archers is my only soap. I’ve enjoyed to for 54 years. I’ve had times when I stop listening regularly but story lines like this are quality

I'm on holiday and can't really listen while I'm away so I haven't heard it since Tuesday. There's going to be a catching-up binge when I get home next weekend!

Wyllow3 Sat 07-Sept-24 00:39:12

I'm glad that its come out at last, I was worried it might never. Well...a lot more high drama to come!

Farzanah Sat 07-Sept-24 10:13:44

Snap Iam.

Another cracking good episode tonight.

Next up….Brian! 😂

Wasn’t it just merlotgran

Wyllow3 Sun 08-Sept-24 22:01:27

Great episode.

Wyllow3 Sun 08-Sept-24 22:22:51

I thought Susan was very good with Alice.

NotSpaghetti Sun 08-Sept-24 22:44:02

At last. I agree, Susan and Alice were very good as was Chris initially - especially with Alice.

The Chris/Emma bit was not so tight.

I'm still wondering about Chris and Alice getting together again... (unlikely in real life, I know) .

Wyllow3 Sun 08-Sept-24 22:52:05

I wondered that too, I'd really like it.

Another cracking good episode tonight.

Next up….Brian! 😂

Ooh, when Brian gets wind of what's going on he'll be reaching for his shotgun......

Iam64 Mon 09-Sept-24 08:24:35

I suspect a few of us believe Alice and Chris could make a go of their relationship second time around. They’re older, wiser, he’s been a great support to Alice in co-parenting Martha with genuine desire to support Alice as a mum because that’s best for their little girl

NotSpaghetti Mon 09-Sept-24 08:56:21

So true Iam - but doubt it would happen in real life...

Though having said that - I do know a couple where it did!

Visgir1 Mon 09-Sept-24 09:59:17

Just heard last night's episode, as I'm on holiday too.. Thank goodness for BBC sounds.
It was a goody... Not sure Chris and Alice will make it but the relationship will be fine as joint parents.
Agree Chris and Emma section was a bit restrained, surprised Chris didn't go more at his sister.

Emma and Will need to be charged for withholding information. There needs to be a bigger impact on their lives caused by George.

Brian will go ballistic, Harrison reaction that's going to be interesting?
Looking forward to this week's episodes.
