The Archers

Well that episode goes way beyond the racism when Usha appeared in the village. I hadn't taken to Lawrence before, but today's words are too much.

Looking forward to hearing how scriptwriters/Linda deal with this.

I've never liked the Natasha character and I like her even less following last night's epi.
Also, I'm wondering why the Gills are so obsessive about privacy. Maybe one of them is a socially disgraced former public figure trying to live down their notorious past? Or maybe it's just a script writer's device to make a story out of nothing?

Yes.
No doubt they have been watching Lilian in the bushes from their holiday resort!

I’m hoping the Gills are up to no good and their money comes from dodgy dealings. Will we ever hear them speak?

I don’t like Natasha at all. There are occasional flashes of kindness but she is mainly self serving and unreasonable. I ought to feel sorry for the Bridge Farm Archers, especially Pat and Tony but I’m team Fallon and The Bull.

Me too merlotgran Natasha’s spending habits have raised their ugly head before! Can’t see the house buying being sorted anytime soon and feel sorry for Kirsty as it stymies her plans. Can’t get my head around Linda and fasting, but interesting to hear about Khahil. How will Akram react on his return home?

When, please God, is someone going to suggest a job share for Susan and Clarrie?!

Kate - presumably when the scriptwriters have had enough dragging out this nonsense!

It's very very annoying.

I'd be happy if both women took stock of their lives and decided to retire, leaving horrible Helen floundering about trying to recruit a new assistant.

Harsh!

I agree Scribbles but don't see that in the script tbh!

Why are we having to suffer Joy and Rochelle again? And are the Malik family going to join in any Lent, Holy Week and Easter events? If they like fires, how about Easter Eve with Linda and Ashram?

I expect the Maliks will join in with festivals.
Why not.

Anyone else think Rochelle has an ulterior motive at the abattoir? If she pro humane killing or even against meat production at al?

Something is odd.
Not sure what, yet.

Was that a reaction to the slaughter house or is she pregnant.

I wondered if she was pregnant, too.

She's a vegan/vegetarian so I'd be surprised if she doesn't have an ulterior motive

I think I'd missed that info.
Mmmn.
Filming then...?

Missed it too SillyM and NotS...................my ulterior motive thought could be right!

I'm not impressed with Clarrie's leaving gift.
I would have thought she should have had a veg box for a year and a monetary gift.
6 months knitting subscription doesn't seem very exciting or personal. Maybe she'd rather have a voucher?
She will get some redundancy I assume.

Very dull episode

Roshelle is too much, can't understand how people take to her, she might be after Vince. She's so pushy and unreliable, her mother leaving as soon as she turns up is unbelievable.. Don't trust Natasha either.

Rochelle - animal rights anyone?

Yes I assume so.

Gransnet said it first! Rochelle is an animal rights undercover agent!
