Matt came up with all the correct responses! not!! Mind you, that James one sounded like the sort that only a Mother could love.

Matt's a bit of a pantomime villain. I can cope with him, because he so rarely wins in the end.

 

Kenton, on the other hand, makes me want to smash the radio. He's the most selfish, self-centred character - even worse than his bloody sisters!

If we are talking about people who make you want to kick the electric wireless across the room.....Step forward Pip Archer. (and Jamie and James)

Emma annoys me ...she's nothing but whine, whine, whine !

James is going to drive me

I'm loving the James and Leonie story. They really are the most infuriating characters in any soap opera

 

As for sodding Emmur, I couldn't agree more, Baz!

 

I agree PC...they are even making me sympathise with Matt!! Still, it's been a vehicle to resurrect the Paul and Lilian storyline

Alas! I missed the omnibus. I was out on my bike.

Can you not catch on Radio Iplayer GJ?

I think she may have heard you GJ....she is being a very naughty gal! 

Nancy Banks Smith's take on it was hilarious.

Now, don't go on at me about this, but isn't Lilian a bit old for that kind of thing? She must be an old age pensioner. Look, I knew you were going to be like this but, speaking personally, when Lilian breathed "Paul, let's go up to your room!" my reaction was, "On second thoughts, if stairs are involved, I think I'll give it a miss." Bus pass and winter fuel allowance notwithstanding, Lilian reminds me of Mehitabel, the rackety alley cat, whose indomitable motto is "Toujours gai! There's a dance in the old dame yet!", though her knees go off like pistol shots as she dances. That must be why Matt always calls her Pusscat. She calls him Tiger. Perhaps because of his fearful symmetry. Or because he eats builders for breakfast.

OI GJ! Good luck to the old dear I say Seriously , I wish she would kick Matt into touch , but I see trouble ahead if she does . Peggy will be whipping her off to Whitby again as a punishment !!

I do hope that you aren't shooting the messenger ! You know that I wish them all the best. Whitby would be an excellent Mr & Mrs Smith scenario for them. The earth would certainly move. It's moving at this very moment.

ROFL

I listen too and have done for years. I like the spin off on 4ex about Bob Pullens will.

Yes and I hope Lillian leaves Matt for Paul but i think she might not have the bottle.It will be a mess though Im sure.

Cant stand Pip and Helen or Emma.

 

Is anyone on the archers messageboards? I must admit I have given it a go but they are the most awful lot.

I have posted on the FB page from time to time Amythist... but not the BBC one. I catch Ambridge Extra every now and then.... and laughed at the Bob Pullen storyline

it was a bit sad tonight . Hope they get back together again !

No mention of the snow in the Archers!  You'd have thought snow would be the top of conversation for farming folk!

I have to wait until next Sunday morning. I'm afraid that two of the characters, who yesterday were discussing farming matters, sound like a couple of actors reading a script.

Lillian is so on the verge of getting caught!

And shame on Paul for encouraging her......

Oh! & I fear that Vicky may just suffer from post natal depression.....one wonders how it will reveal itself ???

Hi Slimfern I actually hope she leaves Matt

I did wonder if Vicky was getting post-natal depression , but then she seemed to buck up again .

Time to catch up!

Now up to date. I'm glad it was all sorted out amicably. Juggling extra marital partners can be a nightmare. Should I be rushing off to Ladbrokes to get a price on the faux Geordie Ruth having a relationship with that new bloke?

I was wondering about Ruth & Rob too GJ ...either that or Brenda, who seems to be getting heartily fed up with sausages and ready meals

Who's the one that keeps complaining about her job & not having enough responsibility ?? (My memory is shocking) 

Well....why have none of the adults taken her to one side & informed her that this is common practice ....she needs to prove herself first ! 

 

As for Lillian & Paul! Tut Tut! ...I've a mind to say poor Matt...but the guy is an arse...so won't waste my breath  ...there will be tears!

 

Awww & poor Linda when she came face to pram with lil' Bethany...She is old school I guess....but tried to redeem herself I think!

 

Hiya Baz! 

Hi Slimfern Do you mean Chris Carter's wife Alice ( Jenny's daughter): D If so , then I agree . As for Matt , I have zero sympathy for him And I am suspicious that maybe he already knows , or is at least suspicious, about about the affair , hence his sudden epiphany ! Oh , and I think it was Peggy that was a bit tongue tied when she bumped into Vicky

Who is Linda then ??

Was Lillian's Mum that got tongue tied.....

Lol. That's Peggy . Linda is the one who has been helping Vicky and kicked up a fuss about that badger

Ahhh right!

Will try & remember that...ta! 

That's ok , I had to wrack my brain too

A superb homage a Brief Encounter.

Down to the words GJ ..(barring the mobile phone of course)...which I think will be her downfall...

My prediction is that the woman at the station will phone 'MUM' on Lillians phone to try & get it back to her....Peggy will know!!

Are you a Doctor?

Ha!

If retracting aliens from a persons eye qualifies one to be a doctor....then Yes!

As long as Matt doesn't say, "thank you for coming back to me!"

Reckon Matt will be find out & be devious...not sure how yet...but he is man not to be trusted!

I reckon Matt may already have guessed, cos didn't Darren mention the fact that Paul was doing up the church a while back . I reckon that's why he started being all nice
