The Archers, pretend glass artist, allotment weeder, climbed career ladder until I fell off, champagne socialist, mostly drunk, wish I'd stuck at archeology and not chased girls.. I am fun at parties but not worth taking home
@thearchers Sw SL meeting:
Editor: “We need a romance for Alice”
All: Chris!
Ed: done that. Who else is single?
All:Chris!
Ed: Not yet! Someone they won’t guess
SW1: Derek fletcher?
SW2: Martin Gibson?
Others: Will Grundy? …Hannah?… Drunk Harry?..Brad..
Ed: No! No! No! ….Rex. Now make it convincing

Alice sounds as unconvinced about delivering this SL where she fancies Rex as I am

Who is it you fancy Alice?

So much choice: Chris, horse man, Chris, Rex, Chris, Will,Chris, Harrisson, Chris….

I wonder what parallels @thearchers SW’s are trying to draw between covering up George’s crime and covering up Rauiri’s crime?

It’s just too nuanced for me. I need more help. My brain can’t cope.

I think I’ll have to switch off for 6 months until it’s hopefully worked through.

Amazing Amber. What a speech!
And George loves her.
But I’m so sad because her evil
Mum is right…,
she doesn’t love George,
she’s having the baby because “she’s made her bed ..”
and the marriage will fail because she loves Brad

I can’t shake the feeling that everytime Hannah speaks she’s being insincere …even when she’s being sincere

Jealous Josh let the cows out to drop George in it.
Maybe it’ll be George who Esme falls for?
Sort of Far From the Madding Crowd

Do you think George might get Amber fatigue and dump her rather than other way round?

No don’t buy it!
That squawk was not Stella!

You don’t fool us #TheArchers !

Poor Stella stuck in traffic on the Borcester by-pass….. since October!

Another triumph!
An artist just happened to have a gigantic stained glass rainbow lying around.

If only life was like #TheArchers ….

Don't worry Crusty. When you need a spectacular art installation to impress Borsetshire Life, & you've only got 24hrs ....there is only one person to call..."Eddie Grundy Artist"!

Eddie will fix up some twigs and an old plough in a morning, and it'd even win the Turner Prize!

Is there a chance that George's head injury is a bit more serious than we thought....and could prove fatal??

George: "..the only thing is Esme... is.. er.... "

(I'm toxic poison and will lie and deceive and destroy your life.... no... not that)

"....I don't drive....!"

I was going to say that this looks like a Wanted list.....

Daughter is home.
I’ve made a nice beef bourguignon which apparently we have to eat on our laps because #Traitors final is on.
So much for Daddy-Daughter bonding over supper, washed down with a decent Cotes Du Rhone and a digestif… instead Coat of Claudia and indigestion…..

What parallels are we meant to draw from that episode?

#TheArchers always do parallel SL’s
1. Esme can’t decide whether she wants to be a farmer or web site designer.
2. Amber has decided to have Beelzebub’s baby.

Both are facing a future of living hell maybe?

Has Emmur started a physics O level now?

Who owns Meadow Farm?

Wasn’t Justin looking to buy more land a few months ago?
Wouldn’t it be a surprise if he turned out to be the landowner!?

Is it me?
The awkward exchanges between Fallon and Harrisson at first seemed scripted.. an awkward relationship, marriage about to break up…
But I feel it’s actually just down to bad acting or no chemistry between the two…. Or is it great acting?
I just don’t know. 🤷‍♂️

Just caught up on the Sunday night episode.

That was a big one.

The end of Fallon and Harrison marriage (how could they ever trust each other again)
The start of a fated relationship with pregnant Amber & Brad.

Looking forward to these ones

Even Clive can occasionally hit on the truth……
“This village is full of liars and hypocrites. There is no way the attack was professional “

Like other evil manipulators (Trump Farage Putin ..) he will use that grain of truth to push his agenda of fear and hate.

George’s revenge.

He’s going to kill Brian by saying “sorry” face to face until and Brian has a heart attack!
