The Archers making me feel queasy!

Am I the only person who is feeling slightly queasy listening to Joy and Mick discussing their sex life in the Archers? I'm thrilled for anyone who is having a good sex life but but I really don't want to hear about it, whether on television, the radio or in real life. I'm not a prude but some things are better kept kept quiet in my opinion!

George deleted his message on Will’s phone.

Yes, he did communicate with Will, but my recall hazy on what was said.

Wyllow3 Tue 25-Jun-24 20:58:44

OH yes, I recall that now.

George left the message on Will’s phone, but managed to delete it. His phone is still drying out, but it may be the message can be recovered

I think it is great that the programme can play two people having a healthy morning after discussion about sex, and that the characters are older is even better. They are having fun in a consensual activity, and why not?
I did think that Helen and Lee were having a sexual relationship, but we never heard them having a 'morning after' discussion as we have with Joy and Mick.

I’m fond of Alice, and Chris, and hope they eventually get back together. Daft, I know.

I stopped listening during the Rob story as I didn't think it well done. Nor did some refuges. I resumed listening and now agree I don't want to hear about Joy and Mick making the van rock. I don't like him and agree he doesn't sound very clean. The Archers does like to pick up issues,relevant to the many unfinished stories or not. They then use their personality transplant fairy to shoehorn residents into the stories,.

I agree in hoping that George's criminal behaviour is outed soon. I'm hoping the police might now need to look at Alice's car and collect evidence, find the alco-pops and Joy and Alastair will remember George bought them. Some listeners think he will confess but I don't think so. He has no conscience and always manages to push any blame onto someone else.

The unforgivable bit was when he dragged Alice into the driving seat to implicate her.

What about fingerprints on the steering wheel?

Did someone say there is an Archers thread on GN? I follow one on Facebook but people get admonished if they say something the main contributors don’t like.
