I’m with Farzanah in being somewhat addicted to TA. I am currently back as a regular listener, usually to the 2pm rather than 7pm
The sw are writing well, the complexity of the Helen - Rob story has us shouting at the radio and wondering what happens next.
I didn’t hear the George episode last night but see him as an unpleasant, selfish, manipulative young man with an inflated sense of entitlement.

I honestly don't remember the last time I listened. Several decades ago, I would think. I also never watch TV soaps. Enjoy all the theme tunes, though. smile

Never listen to the Archers, but looking at some of the comments, sounds on a par with Corrie.

Have up long ago but DH still listens but on catch up. I like Sunday mornings to be lovely peaceful music.

what was the bad thing george did in his previous employment ?
i haven't been following it closely, as you can tell.

He obviously has a problem with women and had a couple of verbal warnings from his grandfather. It was also suspected that he broke the biosecurity on the farm by eating a sausage roll and disguarding the wrapper by the pig pens.

I’d just about given up on it but lately things have perked up. It’s a bit like an addiction, have listened on and off for years but get bored & leave periodically but still keep returning.
Bit like Gransnet……..

If I’m driving when it’s on, I always listen in, then have to follow up. Then I forget again.

Woah! I’m abroad, and your comments have just made me use “catch up”! Thanks folks………where do they go from here.

As a child I used to listen to the Archers while I ate my supper, I still do that now!

Gave up long ago.

Very good and well woven story lines at the moment.

It’s very good at the moment. The last time Rob was the main storyline everything else was boring and hardly worth tuning in for but the issues with George have slowly been building up to tonight’s major family bust up. Great acting all round.

Visgir1 Thu 20-Jul-23 19:37:33

Ohh yes I'm still on board with The Archers.
George is a little s**t and Rob well.. Karma.

Farzanah Thu 20-Jul-23 19:32:09

Several dramatic storylines lately about Rob, and tonight George. Just wondered what fans, if there are any still, think.

Farzanah Thu 20-Jul-23 19:30:39

Is anyone still listening or have you given up?
