So, Route B it is then.
Think I may switch off for a couple of weeks as I can't put up with stereo wailing from Ruth and Jill.
One can only hope that they sell Brookfield and move north before the Ambridge spring does its stuff (I don't know whether the spring will put a stop to the building of the road but it seems pretty obvious)

Apparently the chap who played Tom Archer has been told that his services are no longer required and the part is to be re-cast.
Indeed, Baz.
And when is Helen going to stand up to Rob?
Although, saying that, I quite like Rob (in a pantomime villian sort of way) and can't really stand Helen.
Ian, possibly, but then he appears to have troubles of his own marching over the horizon
I hope Linda does me proud, Baz!
I agree with you about Justin. Ghastly fellow
The fur is going to fly when Tony finds out Brian is thinking of putting in an offer for Brookfield !!
It's going to be fun. I love Brian. Probably my favourite character in The Archers.
Did you hear David Blunkett on the wireless at lunchtime, Baz? He's a big Archers fan but was having a bit of a moan about current story-lines

Hi Madame 
No ,I'm never heard him....but the forums aren't happy about some of storylines.....and I get annoyed at the abrupt changes to some of the characters personalities !
I'm going to miss Mike Tucker. I think that the return of Carole Tregorran is the only positive move recently.
I've never really recovered from Nigel's death. It all went downhill after that (as did Nigel).
Which Archers forum do you like, Baz?

Me too And I wanted to see the Bethany storyline develop more .....plus I miss Matt and Lilian ....and that secretary woman had possibilities .....and what happened to Darren !! So many lose ends nowadays !
I like the the BBC one ...and I also belong to another one ....
Thanks, Baz
Yes. Mr Blunkett was also saying about the loose ends and unanswered questions, stuff left hanging etc.
I also miss Matt and Lilian.
Know what you mean about changes of character in people. I find that Peggy is getting on my nerves - always interferring and poking her nose in. I don't remember her being like that before (well, not so much)

Yes ....Peggy always seemed quite nice until recently .....but I do think Carol might liven things up , in a traditional Archers way
I've bitten my nails down to the quick, fretting over the fate of 'Daffers'
It has, Baz. Nothing happens for years and then we get all this drama! And now Richard has turned up to rock Smug Shula's boat! There may be trouble ahead there.
I still think Scruff will turn up, though (unless I've missed an episode or two and he's been confirmed as a definite goner)

I know 
No, Scruff has not reappeared Madame .....and yes , looks like Shula could go the same way as her sister 
Rob seems to be upping his controlling game this week. At least Helen stood up for herself a bit this time.
I still don't see how he can work it with the DNA test that he said he will have, though. (Unless he's telling the truth, that is, and he's not the father).
Yes ....he's a real grrrrr character , eh 
I don't know how he's going to sabotage the DNA test , but I have no doubts he's the baby's father He doesn't like the fact that Helen is working closely with the family again either .And what about Matt running off with all Lilian's money 
Ooooo the drama
Shula Archer - once a trollop ...
Shula Archer - once a trollop ...
Yep ..it's defo signalling an affair isn't it ....kid left home , inattentive husband , and old flame In the meantime , WHERE IS SCRUFF !! ,
I think Scruff will make an emotional return at some point, Baz.
As for the ghastly Shula; I find her insufferably smug and self-righteous and
my ideal scenario is that Alistair gives her the elbow at about the same time that Helen does the same to Rob. The two jilted ones then fall into each other's arms. Rob and Shula - mwahaaaa.
Now there is a scenario Madame ! I still haven't forgiven Shula for lying about Rob and the hunt saboteur !!!

Me neither, Baz. I'm still hoping that will come back to haunt her.

Yes ...although there do seem to be an in reading number of threads left hanging these days .....but right now I am waiting to see how the DNA plot pans out
Yes. I'm longing to hear how he slithers his way out of this one!
Yes. I'm longing to hear how he slithers his way out of this one!
Yep ! I just hope he gets his very just desserts
Not yet though because I find the character very hilarious

Nah ....I just want him to get his comeuppance now ....they've dragged it out too long I think ....too many loose ends
So the DNA test appears to prove that Rob isn't the daddy .....how did he fix it !!!
It's a puzzler all right, Baz. Do you have theory?

Yes.....the scriptwriters have lost the plot ! Seriously , all the Archers group were expecting him to get his comeuppance on Thursday ........talk about a let down !!! And what about yet more new characters......I'm still trying to get used to the new actors.....I mean Pip sounds about 40 these days 
Pip has always been rather annoying, hasn't she?
I agree with you about the new characters, though. Far too many of them turning up and, I don't know if it's just me, but all the youngsters sound like each other. Very difficult at times to know who's talking with whom. Thank heavens for the Grundys, Brian and Jennifer, Linda Snell and Lilian!
Regarding the Rob thing; if there isn't any skullduggery on his part, the only thing I can come up with is that the script writers knew that everyone would think he was the father so have fooled us. I can imagine them chuckling amongst themselves and sticking their tongues out to the listeners!

Yes, I wondered if the scriptwriters were sticking two fingers up at us As for the youngsters ...I agree ...they do all sound the same !! At the moment it's Kate that is my grrrr figure As for Pip , I'm hoping she gets the job abroad and disappears into the ether once more
And what about Brookfield ......it's all going to hell in a hand basket !
