Helen is sounding just a teensy bit too happy at the moment......
Well, this is getting good innit?
Caroline's death was very well handled, that smashed jug set me off, Alastair's insensitivity was brilliantly done and the whole Matt/Anisha thing is about to go very runny.
Matt obviously wants the house in Lill's name, I wonder what he has planned for Justin?
Whatever it is, it's going to be very nasty.
An awful lot going on at the mo, let's hope the arch-miserablists at Bridge Farm and Brookfield are quiet for a while.
Lilly's going to be fun, great character, but still no idea what Chris is for.
**** me sideways! A year on, and this thread is [i]still[/i] going?
(Shakes head, walks away, tutting).
🙂
It's the longest running soap ever. Must be the only thing I've continously followed on TV or radio since I was about 7!
Helen is sounding just a teensy bit too happy at the moment......
And now she's offering to be the surrogate for Ian and Adam.
IMPENDING DISASTER KLAXON!
Who or what is Justin up to?
Ok what is Lilian going to do? Justin or Matt and what is going to happen at the hunt ball?
and what is going to happen at the hunt ball?
Release the hounds. . .
I didn't see that coming.
Mind you, neither did Matt.
[i]I didn't see that coming.

Another editor lining up a job at Eastenders?
🙂
Al and Shula were still at the ball, doesn't seem Justin's style, so who do we think?
Adam?
a pissed Brian, after all he's got previous for it after Peggy's cat
^ 😆
Lillian?.. pissed on her way to meet Matt / find Justin?
Grundy's are usually at fault. "Bloomin' 'eck".
Or maybe Josh, in an unlicenced, untaxed, unpaid for, combine?
Or that witch woman with the 'erbal teas?
Maybe all of them. Come to think of it isn't that Leksi east european? Gotta be her.
Then again Alistair has some scores to even - no fixed odds here.
It's Tom.
Spent the whole evening giving Matt evils in the pub.
Good point.
Tom, high on Shires and kimchi wreaks revenge......
Mushroom Freddie, perhaps?
Oooh, this is going to be good.
Assume the wedding's off.
Harrison's got his work cut out with this one, not sure he's up to it.
Still not solved the bunting theft.
Archers on catch up or just ask me mother in law for a quick synopsis* choices choices
*this option likely to be longer and less coherent but possibly way more entertaining.
What was in Matt's suitcase? The one he was so desperate to put behind the bar.
I reckon there's skullduggery afoot. Blackmailing Latif?
Hmmm, Nic and the suitcases struck me as bit odd.
Assume he wasn't hit outside the Bull, someone would have noticed, so was he wobbling off to find Lil?
Would explain why he had to leave the cases......
Car had full beam on, Matt said 'Dip your lights' just before the 'accident'.
Could it be the new vet?
Josh and his new sports car?
Lilly on a spree?
Good god, I haven't been this excited since Nipplegate.
Harrison's got his work cut out with this one, not sure he's up to it.
Still not solved the bunting theft.
He'll fulfil the dumb policeman roll while Jill does the Miss Marple bit
Wow Roy has a video nasty, and he forgot the popudums 😆
Looking like it was Shula wot dun it...
Really?!?
God, I hope so.
But why would she wait all these years to do something, y'know, interesting?
Even her affairs have been tedious.
I thought she was at the ball all night?
Not heard any of this week's yet, right, iPlayer it is...
Well, either she did it, or she was banging the builder.
A builder? Surely not! Shula goes for professional types - lawyer, doctor, vet, etc
Hmm, didn't she once step out with Neil 'The Pig Whisperer' Carter?
She's got form.
Can't help thinking they'll string this out for ages, think we might be a little premature here.
Where were Newpip and the Gin Blossom, btw?
The suspects...
Justin - too obvious 2-6 against
Shula - current favourite. Evens.
Fagash Lil - outside bet, playing a long game, maybe. 10-1
Adam - 7-2. Decent
Josh - New car. Not seen for a while. 6-1. Where the smart money is
Noli stoned off her gourd, going to get some munchies 😀
🙄
It's not Noli, it's Noluthando!
God this place is soooooo boring.
Didn't Freddie take her up Lakey Hill?
#euphemism
Anyone else noticed that Alice seems to get really pissed quite often these days? I reckon they might be setting her up for a story line of alcoholism in the future.
Josh - New car. Not seen for a while. 6-1. Where the smart money is
reckon so...
meanwhile, Matt clearly thinks it's his dodgy business mates, otherwise why would he leave the hospital, go into hiding and be so keen to leave the country.
So, Matt is gone, Pip is upduffed and Peggy is about to kick the proverbial. Looks like a bumper Christmas of joy in Ambridge is ahead of us!
Well . . . a wedding day to remember 😯
And for Lynda Snell fans, she was on [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09jgzh9 ]Gardener's Question Time[/url] this afternoon!
Toby is not a happy chappy
Lil is a fool!
He cheated on Miranda, he'll cheat on her!
Oh, and Shula was the one wot tried to off Matt.
Forgot to add yesterday, GQT recommended that Lynda plant some 'besom ling'!
(Other lings are available)
I thought Saint Shulas storyline was leading to an affair with the Welsh builder
Scarlett ? ? 😯 😆
No no no no no no no
Not Toby Fairbrother 😆
Pigface - MemberNo no no no no no no
Not Toby Fairbrother
🙂
I enjoyed that.
Well looks like I was right about Alice 2 months ago...
She's going to end up under Aaron, isn't she?
Just caught up.
So, who swept Matt off his tiger feet, alky Alice or St Nic?
Another Archer's pregnancy? Spare us, please.Not buying #muckypip, Toby's a treat though.
And the Adam/Ian/Roy/Lexi quadrangle - FFS man, do something worthwhile for once, marry her before she realises that you're wetter than Kirsty's pants.
Lexi is going to be upduffed by Roy before the process starts for Ian and Adam.
That would be hysterical
Crikey.
No spoilers for the omnibussers...
Aw bolleaux, dint see that coming ... 😕
Bit blindsided by that, very unexpected
Ooof.
Man, bit dusty driving home from work...
So, witness or perpetrator? And will the person responsible have a moment if clarity and cough for it?
You should always shower regularly. Big mistake...
well, that didn't feel like a hasty script re-write at all, nope, not at all...
Yes, probably the editor (Huw Kennair Jones) tying up a few loose ends before he leaves Ambridge.
That seems to be a big thing now, post Roofgate, along with all the personality transplants.
Personally, I could live with a large meteor falling on Bridge Farm. Hellin's voice makes my skin itch these days.
She was quite annoying in her own right, but not enough bad stuff can happen to that smug sneery-voiced forelock-tugging creep Will to make me happy. It's a start though,
Agree Will deserves everything that comes his way, what did she whisper to him, isn’t there a chance that one of the kids isn’t his?
but not enough bad stuff can happen to that smug sneery-voiced forelock-tugging creep Will to make me happy.
Agree Will deserves everything that comes his way,
A bit ****ing harsh that mind.
No idea what she whispered to Joe, a last request for a glass of Tumble Tussock?
Maybe she knew who shifted the bunting?
Or where Kathy and Jamie have gone?
Must be Tiger related, my guess is that she saw Alky Alice or Shula mow him down.
And what a shame about Brian - I genuinely thought Jennifer Dahling was going to punch him at one point.
Quick pasty, anyone?
Just been catching up with the omnibus. Poor Nic, quite a few others I'd have rather seen go than her. As for the confession, well was she not working at the Bull when Matt left his suitcases behind the bar? I reckon she had a peek in them.
I don't care about the Archers, but I keep seeing this thread title so I need to know - was Rob poisoning her, in the end?
No, just psychology and physical abuse. It was a tough listen, but brilliantly handled.
Now....
Catching up, just under an hour to go...
Brilliant, isn't it?
The handover of Brian's testicles was well done, actually made me feel sorry for him. A bit.
Will? He's a psychopath isn't he? That conversation with Ed was chilling. Proper put me off my toast.
Harrison might have twigged about 'the bunting'.
And we have a genuine thesp 🙂
Cannot wait for Mike Leigh as guest editor...
Ok let’s catch up
Shula???? WTaF or am I reading this wrong?
Ellis the dealer
Home Farm woes
Olwyn
Lavinia, eh?
PHWOOOOAR!
I don't think i want to go down the rabbithole of an archers specific forum.
Click the link, you know you want to!
Have a look at the host site, that's even better.
The forum still has more functionality that this one.
I'm only making a comment so that I can find this thread again.. I'm also a week behind so I'm fascinated to find out what Shula's been up to now (is Brian going to toss her in his toxic waste pit?)
Current plot lines seem a random. Ever since O'Connor it seems to be a case of forget any history the character may have and just randomly write anything. And feel free to let it fade into oblivion without any explanation. #BlockedCulvert.
Justin found out about the blocked culvert and used it to put pressure on Rob who then did a moonlight flit to America.
Does everyone else think it all seems a bit wishy-washy at the moment?
Seems to be a deliberate strategy. <span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Some juicy revelations then deliberate blandness for a week or so.</span>
Anyway.
No sympathy for Shula.
Or Freddie.
Or Brian.
Who's taking Lilly up Lakey Hill?
Where's Cursedy?
And why the hell is the actress that plays Pat not off doing something more interesting? She stole that scene right from under Alison Steadman's nose, proper scenery chewing stuff.
*Chuckling at Freddy's chuckling as Aunty Chris pins it on Lilly!*
Toby Kate bouncy castle 😱
Oh Freddy what have you done?
Ooof.
Silly lad. Bound to happen sooner or later.
Feel sorry for 'Friction' Burns. No choice, seeing as his overacted mates from work were about.
Love this new BBC policy of shifting characters between programmes - Mr Gently-Benevolent suits Ambridge perfectly.
