I'll add in the next breath that I know it's not going through a golden phase at the moment, but those of us who are addicted just have to keep plodding on in the hope that it will take a turn for the better. We've been here many times before. Sad

(I suppose this means a shake up on Sunday mornings on Radio 4 too, as the omnibus will be back to full length.)

Of course I didn't mean to enable voting. Sigh. I wish the default was the other way.

Great news, off now to listen to today's episode.
They're obviously slipping in new characters such as Alistair's assistant so it could get lively.

Oh the divorce is driving me crazy!
What message are we supposed to take from this?
Don’t be an alcoholic, don’t marry out of your class? It’s awful.
and the rest of the stories…blah blah!

as you said OP not a golden age but I have been listening for over 60 years so I guess I won’t stop now! ☺️

JanglyBeads · 03/06/2022 15:31

Yay!

Outwiththenorm · 03/06/2022 20:07

Hooray! It’s my go-to listen while getting DS to sleep.

unless they improve the quality it is just more rubbish that ignores the past

I've always listened until the Covid shutdown that was a monologue offering. I've lost the gist of the plots now - would love to find a quick catch up somewhere.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 03/06/2022 21:34

@StoneofDestiny, a few key things if you decided to dip back in:
Alice and Chris are getting divorced, acrimoniously
Alice is a recovering alcoholic
They have a toddler, Martha
Jazzer and Tracy are an item and Jazzer is moving in with the Horrobins
Grey Gables has closed for a total refurb under new ownership
Phoebe has left for a job in Scotland
Harrison has found God
Natasha and Tom are expecting twins and are going to live in Kathy's old cottage as she has left for a prolonged trip to spend her GG redundancy money and will almost certainly never return
