oh I love and hate the Archers so much, it is the point of it I think, I ROW with a girlfriend about it.
I think she subconsciously thinks it's all REAL. Not like the people who sent wreaths or whatever when Grace Archer was burnt to death at the stake I mean in the terribly tragic Barn Fire which my mother told me about..... But this friend gets SO angry about the injustice of Brian's infidelity to Jennifer and Ed and Emma's injustice to Will. And I say "It's only a soap!" and she says " I know but.... " and then we can even have a row about it! Heaven forbid if I defend Bwian! which I do just to piss her off sometimes!
I hate most of the posh women, but sometimes I like Lillian unless she is saying tiger which makes me barf.
Can't bear Ruth ever just can't bear her and wish terrible things to happen to her, she just has so little range imho. And hate Shula too.
Adore Debbie, she's just lovely. Quite like Adam the way he moans a lot.
Can't bear Kenton's constant attempts at youthful language, dire and dreadful.
I like it best when they do family money stories - I think they do them really well, the Aldridge's, the Archers and the organic lot and Roy's lot. Hate it when they try full on comedy - oh spare me when they think they're being hilarious...... But I would go on a march if they tried to take it away from me!
