The show seems to have lost its way. Have listened for over 30 years, but couldn't be doing with the monologues during lockdown.
Nancy Banks-Smith always did a cracking recap in the Guardian at least.

Yes, it's all over the place at times, some of the more memorable characters like nasty Hazel disappear in favour of the same dull ones.
Almost as though the writers are a bit out of touch with listeners sometimes.
 
I need to lower my expectations as real village life is far more toxic with the haters just in waiting for there turn to scream it’s not fair then reel off there deeply disturbing views. Talking about deeply disturbing what horror film has George dropped in from he’ll be dressing up as clown next!

I thought pip and Toby were going to have one last shag for thre road resulting in another Archer pregnancy lol.

Kindof sick of the Chelsea pregnancy. I don’t think she will keep it to be honest. It’s not really offering anything new.

I thought they’d end up declaring their love for each other. Your way would have probably been more realistic 😂
I’m bored of Chelsea now, she’s like Vicki Pollard.
 
Now there’s something Beth has asked Ben to tell all, surely she already knows that Ben is a cunning linguist and can talk her around .Beth really needs it from the the horses mouth and should ask Chelsea how she got Ben to perform when he was so out of it? George is going to need a knock back like Eddie but maybe from PC plodd!
 
I think Ben is heading for a terrible accident at the hands of Vince Cable a new brand of sausage for sale in the village shop Ben’s Bangers! As the old adage goes in the farming world never cross a field with a cat on a lead or the owner of a Slaughterhouse . The only get out is Ben and Chelsea to go into hiding on a goat farm on The South Island New Zealand.
 
Oh actually it would be great if Ben and Beth just fecked off to NZ and decided to stay there. Maybe pop could go with them??

I feel like they are planting the seeds for josh and Beth to have an affair but it’s too similar to will and Ed. The only acceptable story line for a josh fling IMO would be if chealsea has an abortion then Beth and Ben decide to go to NZ for the free holiday that Ben will no doubt sob his way through.However, just before they go josh and Beth get it on. A few weeks into their trip Ben and Beth call home to report that they want to stay in there more permanently. Fresh start etc. a short time after that we find out Beth is pregnant. Cue josh sweatinghis arse off but doing nothing.

Josh is ruthless enough to live with it. Gets rid of two mopey characters and saves up a storyline for the future.

Eddie Grundy does my head in. Don’tknow why Clarrie puts up with him, working her arse of in the dairy while he does unsuccessfully Deals.

I don’t want be glib about farming accidents they are terrible but if Clarrie ever gets behind the wheels of a low loader Eddie better get running, just had a thought I don’t think she can drive what’s that about .
