Why is Lillian allowing this to happen?

FFS Lil, he's just a bit on the side. If he pisses you off just bin him. Don't start sounding so downtrodden.

Even DP was shouting at the radio, and he pretends not to listen to TA.

And that is why TA belongs on R4. Not on podcasts or iplayer or even on another radio station if you have to faff around and retune (if you've even got digital)... it is something you have on in the kitchen that the whole family can absorb while they wash up or make dinner or whatever.

Exactly Grimma Grin thanks Princess Blush

Ponders · 07/07/2013 21:40

the acting editor (???) was on Feedback tonight and, as usual with TA, stoutly defended their decision to put the Lilian/Matt thing on 4extra. Nothing Roger Bolton said swayed her opinion.

Apparently, even if we haven't got DAB or internet, 99.9% of us have satellite, so there's no excuse for us not tuning in to Amex (regardless of whether we want to, or if it's convenient when the TV is in a completely different room from the one where we choose to listen to the radio, or if someone else is actually watching TV at 7pm)

Hmm Angry

they're right, we're wrong. twas ever thus. pisses me off no end

Ponders · 07/07/2013 21:41

oh sorry, just seen that tonight's feedback must have been the repeat

as you were Grin

nennypops · 07/07/2013 23:04

Gawd, yet another round of snivelling and gulping from Lil. If I were Jolene I'd be doing my best to avoid her.

heronsfly · 08/07/2013 05:33

I think even the actress that plays Lil must be wondering when all the soggy sobbing is going to stop.

ppeatfruit · 08/07/2013 10:21

We all listen at different times ponders don't worry Grin.
I've got the delights of the soggy sobbing coming at 3pm (fr. time!) lucky me herons and nenny Hmm

ppeatfruit · 08/07/2013 15:09

OMG she's finally realised that she's been lied to for months DUH!! Why is she such a wet drippy fool? but also sooo mean to Brenda; she's going to be totally left on her own to deal with the firm Shock I'm betting that she'll throw it all in the air and disappear back to Jersey!!

R4 · 08/07/2013 20:05

Another unsatisfactory episode.

Why is Lillian so useless at telling lies? (she is in the Property trade - it should be second nature by now)
Why is Brenda so awful at managing her boss?

Come on, SW, give us some believable lines. I still cannot get my head round the Jazzer milk/emulsion idiocy - were they all off their heads in the editorial meeting that week?Hmm

To be fair, we actually had some beautifully old fashioned decent scripts last week. Can't remember who wrote it, but it was one of the old hands. And it showed.

PseudoBadger · 08/07/2013 22:46

Awful episode. Emmur fawning over Sabrina's clothes? Wtaf?

Well Emma is a bit of an airhead isn't she with no money pseudo !

curlew · 09/07/2013 10:48

And WHY have we gone back to "working class" people being figures of fun?

And I am soooooo fed up of the personality transplants. Pip, anyone?

OliviaMMumsnet · 09/07/2013 11:25

yy the "you can't go to the paper mill cos we owe them all ££" is a nice lead in, non?

LOL at Sabrina having a Juicy Couture tracksuit (!)

ppeatfruit · 09/07/2013 11:37

I admit that I haven't heard it yet (looking forward to it nowGrin)!

ppeatfruit · 09/07/2013 11:39

Prap's Pip gets bad PMT and is also a Gemini (DD2 is like that!) curlew!

GrimmaTheNome · 09/07/2013 16:30

yeah, I was thinking we should track Pip's moods versus the phases of the moon.

If she's a werewolf her dad will shoot her.

Somethingyesterday · 09/07/2013 19:15

It's happened!

HearMyRoar · 09/07/2013 19:35

Go Brenda! Whoop! :o

Brillig · 09/07/2013 19:49

Thank God for that. I was wondering how long Brenda would carry on being an utter doormat.

I used to quite like Lillian but she's been so breathtakingly vile recently that I've lost all sympathy. Horrible woman.

GrimmaTheNome · 09/07/2013 21:03

Oh... I'm going to be sorry to see Brenda go, after that sudden outbreak of gumption!

LondonMother · 09/07/2013 21:05

I think she'll go a long, long way .... all the way up the road to Grey Gables where she can take on her brother's old job and live in staff accommodation. Bets?

PseudoBadger · 09/07/2013 21:30

Good call I reckon London!

CakesAreNotTheAnswer · 09/07/2013 21:52

and the lonely cow's not lonely any more (plays nicely to the tune of 'once I had a secret love' in case you were wondering)

I was wondering if Brenda was going to call Lil a bitch for a moment, then she and I both remembered she's on Radio 4. boo.

SomewhereBeyondTheSea · 09/07/2013 22:16

Yeah!!! Go Brenda!!!! Kicking Tom to the curb and now giving Lil what for - I'm beginning to warm to her!

(I love the way Lilian says 'Brennnnn-DAAAAA' with absolute venom btw ...)

TallGiraffe · 09/07/2013 22:22

Do you think they had a variety of Wimbledon related scenes recorded? Or did a hasty add in on Monday?
