I don't mind the abattoir talk, but I do mind that it's to tie in with that bloody book!

Find the Pip & Stella telling Rosie about them premature. Firstly, they've only started dating, secondly it should be a 1-1 conversation for Pip the parent, not a joint one with Stella.

Also I'm hearing too much from Pip's droning tones, give me Tom anyday
 
I have a few lark rise to bloody candleford (LRTBC) theories. Here is my first..

1. One of the senior writers who everyone is a bit scared of had their drink spiked with LSD or similar and went home to bed feeling a little odd. They opened their book- they are working their way through the classics like Linda Snell who is based heavily on this writer- of course the book is LRTBC and they have the most incredible experience reading the most vivid book they have ever read. Why, the characters seem to jump from the page! Does everyone know about this book? Well they will. By Jove they will! The writer makes a vow to spread the word. It is their life mission.

Perhaps it's my delicate veggie/plant based sensitivities but I'm finding all the abattoir talk really crass.

It seems an odd topic to be delving in to repeatedly - first Freddie, now Chelsea. Wonder just what the end goal is as it's not at all engaging for the listener. If it goes further what's the point? Veggie or not, it's not an enjoyable topic. Yes drive home the point that meat eaters should buy meat responsibly/locally, but why take us behind the curtain? What does it achieve?

Exactly. I know that there are far more meat eaters than veggies/plant based/vegans in this country and that not everyone (especially people in rural areas with meat farming connections) would hold the same views I have but equally we don't need it hammering home every five minutes. I think they're probably just trying to strike parallels with bloody LRTCF.

I also really find the 'Chelsea now loves pigs and will probably rescue a piglet from slaughter' storyline really disingenuous.

The writing seems so off at the moment. There is often a bore fest of a storyline bubbling away in the background but I have zero interest in any storyline at the moment.

They get some things so wrong. As if someone like Chelsea would ever read a book like that. Have they met a normal teenager? The straw crows debacle? No one cares. Basically we want to see bad things happen to David. Pip to be unbearable so we can hate on her and a nice juicy affair. Grundies can do one and nobody, NOBODY wants to listen to the Christmas show. Noone. Even if it ends up being LRTBC led by a sniffing chealsea who has gone from typical teen getting drunk and shaggy by in a field to literary luvvie rescuing pigs because the same writer has gone vegan and is desperate for everyone else to suffer.
 
He’s behind youooo! the 31st is not far away George will be Rob’s next best friend to go to .George will supply the fire power what happened to Will’s shotgun did Eddy take it I fear Harrison is going to walk right into a let him have it situation Rob needs more of exorcism than a baptism!
 
Don’t go meddling in things you don’t-understand!

There are some cast members that have been left hanging in the dark dark woods with their familiars lost for words with no way back to the light dead dogs and aggressive cats sound like Peggy has been wondering in the woods again the sin that is naked dancing or swimming when Rob T surfaces from the holy water it’s going to be interesting to see who’s going to-be ready with the rope ding dong bell Pussy’s in the well. There going to have to stop putting the willies up Emma my neves are not going to take much more.

What an absolute load of drivel the latest scripts have been. And now it's going to be a long couple of weeks until this Halloween garbage is over. I want to know what's going on with Ardil at Grey Gables.

I know - they get an uninteresting theme and flog it to death, Larkrise, Halloween.
Yes I suspect Grey Gables is running out of money for the refurb.
As how irritating to pretend Brad was ever going to go anywhere other than Felpersham bloody Uni. I always thought there was only a college there tbh. Where pervy Russ groomed Lily.
