Orange Is The New Black in Ambridge. Just ask Helen. But will anyone in The Archers ever ask her WHY?

I reckon this thread will see us through the Euros, both footy and referendum. Await the clunky topical inserts here.

It will see us through to Xmas if things don't pick up!

I assume Anna must be around mid-40s at the very youngest - Carol and John were Phil's contemporaries, back when Grace was around.

EBearhug · 12/06/2016 18:33

1969 she was born, so 46 or 47. Carol would have been 35 then.

(I googled.)

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/06/2016 18:42

Sorry babybarrister, but you must be mistaken. After all, SOC consulted closely with legal experts - he told us so.

And thanks, as always, Pseudo

Splendid new thread. Thankyou.

Does Bert pay rent for the bungalow? Do the Fairbrethren pay rent to him?
If Bert snuffs it, do TRex get squatters' rights?

Minimammoth · 12/06/2016 19:26

Place marking. Ta Pseudo.

Gruach · 12/06/2016 19:27

So. Carol's broken wrist. Looks like Anna will be moving in for months.

Longing to see who they'll pair her up with.

Thank you Pseudo - fabulous as always.Star

BlackeyedSusan · 12/06/2016 19:39

well it figures that as the premise of the story is based on reare events then the legal stuff is not going tobe accurate either.

kitchenunit · 12/06/2016 19:52

Would Anna and Rex be a possible challenge to PipNRex? Or Pippex as they now are in my head?

BYOSnowman · 12/06/2016 19:54

They are PiRex in my head

She's probably a bit old for him and I can't imagine she would be interested in fooling around with Toby.

Single men over 40? Could be Alastair soon enough. Or she might take dr bore off our hands?

Gruach · 12/06/2016 19:56

Bland, passive Rex (28 -ish) and supposedly sharp, brainy Anna (47-ish)?

Wouldn't waste your money ...

Gruach · 12/06/2016 20:00

Does it have to be a man BYOS?

And rather dull if the person is currently single. Won't they at least attempt to wring some drama out of her Ambrudge residency?

Marchate · 12/06/2016 20:02

Alastair? DocLocke? Wayne?

kitchenunit · 12/06/2016 20:02

Is Roy still around?

BYOSnowman · 12/06/2016 20:03

I thought she was heartbroken over being dumped by a man?

Only problem with her having a relationship with a woman is that the only lesbians in the village are Kirsty and Helen apparently

Or maybe this is where Kathy come back? Or we are subjected to Lizzie having another sexual awakening.

Well Alastair is married!

Abraiid1 · 12/06/2016 20:05

What has Anna done to deserve that, Kitchen?

BYOSnowman · 12/06/2016 20:05

Oh god. Please not Wayne. Soap cliche - person of the law falling for someone from the wrong side of the tracks

AugustaFinkNottle · 12/06/2016 20:07

Doesn't the domestic violence rule about legal aid only apply to family law? So presumably the family are paying for the legal work about the children, but not about the criminal charges?

Minimammoth · 12/06/2016 20:16

Anna will bump into Rob and fall for him.

BYOSnowman · 12/06/2016 20:18

So Helen will get off on a technicality because her defence barrister is shagging the victim?

Gruach · 12/06/2016 20:19

Mini - I've been trying so hard not to allow space in my mind for such a horrible thought.
