Don’t we all Wyllow3, nasty piece of work that George
I wonder if Chris is going to listen to Alice and begin to wonder if she’s right not to believe she drove her car. Unless George confesses (unlikely based on personality) I’m not sure how he can be found out
There’s always Joy and her memory of selling youth alcohol to George - which was found in Alice’s car
Though till now no police or insurance investigations which is probably realistic

I want to see the truth about George's involvement in the crash come out.

There is an existing Archers thread for anyone interested more widely than the sex grin

So glad someone has brought up The Archers, even though I feel silly saying it!
Sex is part of life and I am interested to hear an older couple enjoying themselves that way.
Self-centred daddy's girl Alice and hard-hearted Fallon are getting on my nerves though and I long to write the script for Harrison and Chris!

Archers desperately trying to be modern and sometimes comes across as OTT for a family show. Too much information sometimes and odd plot lines.

Is anyone else feeling the same?
The dreadful voice of the actor Simon Williams who plays Justin Elliot. I can not listen to him without needing to cough to clear my throat.
I find it very annoying.

I think the domestic abuse stuff was justified and well done. Don't need to know the private details of someone's sex life 🫢

I gave up on the Archers when they threw Nigel off the rook

It was a bit TMI!

I’ve missed the episode . I’ve no desire to hear it either

With Joy & Mick it wasn't "raunchy" stuff; just a couple of giggly comments. IMO it's nice that an older couple are seen to be having fun! ( There's far more explicit stuff to be found on TV, sometimes before the "watershed" of 9.00.p.m.)

I don't remember them being quite so bad! Perhaps it is the idea of Mick being so scruffy and badly shaved added to that Joy has said he can use her bathroom that makes me think he might be a bit grubby too!!!😂

I gave up listening to the Archers, after a lifetime of listening, when Helen was in an abusive relationship. Weren’t the sex scenes between Kenton’s wife and her previous quite explicit when they were meeting in secret?

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!
