The Archers

[NomDeGuerre]

Any other listeners on here?

I dip in and out but am properly invested at the moment - Alice’s alcoholism storyline is completely gripping, although I could do without the emerging Neil / Shula love triangle.

The L:illian/Justin buying a horse/boat this week was rubbish - felt like filler. They could make a lot better use of Lillian.

Not sure what to think about Neil+Shula - it might be a slow burner

 

[Millais]

I have to admit it’s a guilty pleasure. I listen when I’m visiting my parents and always casually ask my mum what’s happening…and am secretly more invested than I let on.

 

[TravellingPants]

Me! Have to say, the lockdown monologues broke my interest in it and since then I have let 2-3 weeks of episodes gather in my podcast library, whereas it used to be a daily habit to listen. The horse / boat / walrus stuff recently was ridiculous.

Yes fan here!

I only get to listen on a Sunday, for the omnibus edition.
The 'BBC Radio' thread on here also has some Archers discussion.

@NomDeGuerre - I didn't know about this thread, so thanks for starting it

Yes, a few of us have been posting on the main BBC Radio thread instead of here.

I'm enjoying Trevor
He is played by the marvellous Julian Rhind-Tutt. I would not have guessed that at all from his voice.
And it isn't Russ just horrible? What on earth does Lily see in him?

Noooo!!!! I keep visualising Stephen merchant.

 

[Bobby Chariot]

Much excitement & reminiscing at the Harvest Festival
Are George and Lenny...sorry..Blake & Jazza still in a huff with each other.

I’m quite taking to Trevor now, hope he becomes a regular.

Trevor & his railway adventures, brilliant.
Poor Bert

Blake is still intent on getting his old gangmasters out of prison, and he has a cunning plan

Mrs Moss can't even change Blake's mind..."but Mr Moss even gave me his favourite jumper when I were cold"
I'm enjoying this storyline, even if it is a tad ludicrous .

Kirsty is annoying the hell out of me.
She’s just making things ten times worse than they already were.
When is she ever going to learn?

Yes, it's going to get messy with Moss, I think Harrison might be in the pay of the gangmasters
No Trevor this week was disappointing.

Yes, I’m really warming to Trevor.

Blake & Jazza reunited, thanks to village minx Chelsea, who is also going to give Blake a makeover so that he looks like footballer Jack Grealish
You just know that those escaped Turkeys shall cause mayhem too.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Good episode tonight I thought. I will spoiler it in case people listen on repeat.

Spoiler: Sunday episode

Hazel reappearing all contrite while Kate drugs Peggy's cat Blake seeing the light. I enjoyed it.

 

[Jelly Bean]

So do we trust Hazel? Or is she up to no good and just after Peggy's money

I doubt the words Hazel and trust belong in the same sentence.
If I was Peggy I’d keep my eye on that money tree of hers.
