The Archers

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

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

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

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

I wondered if she was pregnant, too.

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

Something is odd.
Not sure what, yet.

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

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

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

Harsh!

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.

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

It's very very annoying.

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

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?

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.

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

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?

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

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.

thank you both will hear last night's in half an hour! Sounds rather over-dramatic!

Why didn't they immediately get commercial cleaners in?

What business (especially food) would brush sewage about themselves I wonder?

Completely out of the blue major sewage leak threatening to ruin homes and livelihoods. One minute it’s the panto and now this! Feels like a dig at Borsetshire Water (I.e. Severn Trent?)

I missed Monday, so last night made no sense even after reading the catch up! Can one of you explain it to me😗 please?
