The Archers

[Snufkin]

Rob is bad and Helen is mad.

I have a soft spot for the Archers and have been listening since the 1960's. One of the best things is that most of the characters are so annoying which suits my curmudgeonly side and I can moan about them.

Eastenders?

YUK !!

Sorry Martyn that was meant for the Decameron.


In reply to your post, although I live with an addict, she never got into the Archers extra for
some reason.
In some ways I think the BBC fibbers are worse than politicians as we expect our leaders to lie.

Well Helen did it - Go Helen Go.

Dancing in the streets of middle England tonight.

 

[Jonathan Ribee]

Yes. Gosh. Tum te tum indeed.

 

[blossomchris]

I am still in shock.

Sssshhh...spoilers.

Prob now is she's going to be locked up and poor Henry taken into care, etc.

 

[Mullardman]

Is Grace OK? I didn't catch what happened afterwards ...

Stephen

That's the last episode I heard.

Are you sitting down?.....

Have I missed much since?

 

[Martyn Miles]

I have just listened to last night's episode on 'Listen Again.'

Yes, sit down...

 

[Barrymagrec]

I was Rob`s inbreeding, got the better of him in the end.

What the Archers needs is Gillian Taylforth.

What the Archers needs is Gillian Taylforth.

Who is she and what did she/didn't she do ?

What the Archers needs is Gillian Taylforth.

More likely the other way round, Gillian needs the Archers.

I thinks she is an actress, been in Eastenders and The Bill, also apparently Footballers Wives.
Been a few tabloid gossip things in the red tops.

I'm not convinced he's dead btw. Can't be easy to 'accidentally' stab someone to death...unless you happen to nick their carotid or something. Most likely it's abdominal (although didn't she accidentally stab him twice?).

 

[Derek Wright]

But being in the countryside there are lots of ways he could get some nasty infections and have lingering demise.

The Archers is garbage. I usually switch over as they announce it. I listened the the episode today because there had been a news item on the possible murder, I was busy on the computer and didnt reach for the remote.

I just felt like laughing through it.

I dont understand why people like it because its like the crossroads of Radio 4. Other Radio 4 plays are so much better and show up the archers as the lame joke it is

As Jane Austen wrote in Emma: 'One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other half'.

Who is she and what did she/didn't she do ?

George Carmen QC convinced a jury that she indeed did do. She would give the Archers a shot in the arm.

 

[SteveS1]

If they must do the 'social message' stuff I'm not sure stabbing people is where women in this situation should be encouraged to end up. Didn't Carmen defend old Doddy when he got in a muddle with his complex tax arrangements? Something in the summing up like "there are accountants that could be considered comedians, but comedians are not accountants" or similar.

Listening now, seems nasty Rob ran on to her knife several times.

It's just been reported as a news item on the 6 o'clock news on the BBC. WTAF?
