Someone needs to tell George to stop whining, and Get On His Bike and go and find some work. As Oliver’s foster children have been mentioned, I wonder if Oliver is the man for the job. #TheArchers
Esme found the will in the big folder labelled “plot-device DeadMulligan Will” presumably. But she hasn’t yet thought to look at his emails. Someone who apparently stores their will in their computer probably has an email account. #TheArchers
So, let me get this straight. Dead Mulligan, who evidentially had no friends, siblings, cousins, local doctor, solicitor, regular vet, farm worker, relief milker, or even fellow Jersey-Cow club members, that Mulligan; he keep his will on his computer? Signed, and witnessed? #TheArchers
Ohhh darn it of course you are right! The BBC is totally obsessed with promotional multi-format crossovers this year! Castle in Scotland with fun games, suspicion and intrigue ahead. Based around who inherit’s King Lear - sorry, I mean Brian’s kingdom - oops, business. #TheArchers
Signed wills don’t hide inside computers. Landlords of tenant farms are the best body to resolve this situation, not random kind hearted neighbours. Is Esme being deliberately portrayed as blindingly stupid, or is she just a poorly researched sorry line? #TheArchers
Lilian talking sense. Tracey talking sense. Amber talking sense. What an episode! Bravo to the scriptwriters. Now can one of these sense-talkers get themselves over to Esme and talk some sense in to her too? #TheArchers
Yes, exactly. He isn’t in the farm chiller unit, and so he must be lying in a funeral directors. Things swing into action when a death happens, and Esme will have been given all the easy-to-follow leaflets to know what to do. Perhaps this storyline was inadequately researched… #TheArchers
I don’t think that I would employ a young man 5 days out of prison, still on probation, who comes with zero good references to house-sit my assets, business, home and 60 animals. Even if he does know lots about farming. #TheArchers
Esme must be a time traveller or in a witness protection scheme - the only possible sensible reasons for her wandering accent, her utter lack of knowledge about the farm she grew up on, a complete absence of friends, and her weird offerings of dead man’s whisky. #TheArchers
Were there not sufficient existing farmers to carry a storyline about isolation and depression in the farming sector? Did they have to invent and bump off Mulligan just for this purpose. Seems a trifle heartless, not least to poor old Mulligan. Of whom I am already quite fond. #TheArchers
I agree. He was trying to apologise. And he doesn’t have decades of wisdom, experience, education and good mentors to enable him to know what to say. #TheArchers
I can’t believe I am saying this, because I am not a fan of Grundystorylines…. George did the right thing to apologise, even if he was a bit clunky in how he did it. And Fallon and Jolene did the right thing too. He has served his time, and that is what our justice system is for. #TheArchers
How do you know you are in Fiction-land-Borsetshire? (1) It’s midday in a rural pub on a Tuesday, and there are sufficient local customers chatting for an audible hush to be noticeable when young George walks in. (2) said rural pub is “really busy” doing food midday Tuesday lunchtime. #TheArchers
Hurray for the return of lovely Akram. And why has poor Mr Mullegan been invented only to meet his maker? 120 acres….60 head of dairy. All left to his long lost half brother Brian Aldridge I trust. #TheArchers
Yep, two grown men sloping off after eating a full dinner, without either being arsed to do the washing up. One feeble offer of help from George, that he clearly had no intention of following up. #TheArchers
The Grundies used to be rounded character semi-lovable rogues, and now they are just caricature rogues, and I really don’t want to hear about them. #TheArchers
Be still my fluttering heart; when she dreams of trips to sushi bars, and he dreams of big fat greasy fry-ups, you know these star crossed lovers will be bonded together forever… #TheArchers
She sits sadly in the barn flipping through the pages of the script wondering if she is ever going to relive her glory days of “giving a sharp bark to move a cow on”, or “panting happily to signify loyalty to a teenage Archer” #TheArchers
