Had to turn off the last couple of minutes of TA tonight....yeeeuchh! I do not want to think of Hellin and Rob getting it on. It's almost as bad as hearing Lillian and her (deaded) fancy man smooching - ergghh.

LondonMother · 10/08/2013 07:41

I did like the continuity announcer's wry little remark after the end of TA last night. Of course, having the short-term memory of a salt cellar, I've now forgotten what it was.

Helen and Rob - oh God. I've scarcely recovered from the months of 'Oh Paul! Oh Lilian!' and now we've got months and months of 'Oh Helen! Oh Rob!' and associated moaning, slurping and sighing to contend with. Please, please, SWs, no grunting - I think it would tip me over the edge.

Londonmother I think it was "I hope Ian laid off the garlic" or summat like that. We love that continuity announcer's comments! And are equally miffed at those who don't even bother to read out the teaser for tomorrow's episode (yes, I know we should get a life...)

HomelessAngua · 10/08/2013 11:38

Two things...

  1. the actress who plays Kathy only likes addicts who are not in anyway critical of the show, she made comment on the AA message boards that the BBC MB was nasty etc.

  2. Any one else having awful flash backs to THAT shower scene.....aaarrrggghhhh2

LondonMother · 10/08/2013 13:11

Thanks, Lomaamina, that was it!

Angua, yes indeed, Hedli Niklaus/Kathy makes what I imagine is a useful additional extra income out of running Archers Addicts so of course she loves them! I always found Archers Addicts a bit bland for my taste.

HomelessAngua · 10/08/2013 15:59

Years ago in the days of steam driven dialup I went to the AA site and got throw into Red Hot Lesbian Lovers, site had been hijacked.. aprt from that it is far too bland....

ppeatfruit · 10/08/2013 16:23

That's interesting homeless so the actress is as daft as her character Grin (i wasn' t on Mustardland).

HomelessAngua · 10/08/2013 21:01

Oh yes ppeatfruit. It was out of order, board host was aksed to 'ava word' by the posters. not sure of the outcome.

HomelessAngua · 11/08/2013 11:17

I have just listened to the omnibus - wish i had missed the last segment....

I think I will be scarred for like...

ppeatfruit · 11/08/2013 12:20

Oooh yes a bit of sxx Grin in Ambridge good on yer Hellin!!!!

Gigondas · 11/08/2013 14:45

Omg I need brain bleach.

LilacBreastedRoller · 11/08/2013 17:57

EeeeeUuiuurgh. It may be Some time before I have anything more coherent to say about what I just heard.

LilacBreastedRoller · 11/08/2013 17:59

It even disrupted my ability to use capital letters correctly Hmm.

WhatSheSaid · 12/08/2013 02:19

Helen's already doing his housework for him! And apologising for him talking about his wife.

As much as I dislike her, I love it when TA does affairs. Loads of near misses etc...and Jess will have to appear at sometime so there can be A Showdown.

JollyGolightly · 12/08/2013 04:36

The Jess showdown will be nothing compared to when Pat and Tony find out. I'm looking forward to that.

PseudoBadger · 12/08/2013 06:03

On recent form, when TA does affairs it is the worst thing ever....

OldBeanbagz · 12/08/2013 08:49

Maybe Tony will employ Matt's heavy man to see Rob off?

I must be getting old (or prudish) because i was sat listening the the episode last night thinking that the scenes were way too cringeworthy to be on while i'm sat eating dinner with the DC.

WhatSheSaid · 12/08/2013 08:49

Oh but lots of my best-remembered Archers memories are affairs. Brine and Siobbhan and the resulting Ruarrridddhh. Sid and Jolene. Shula and dr bloke. We haven't had a decent affair for ages (Lilian and Paul obviously got very whingy).

ppeatfruit · 12/08/2013 09:13

You're right WhatSheSaid So that's the reason Brine decided to go in for factory farming!!!!

Me too JollyGolightly They'll be so HUUURRTTTT!!!! FGS Hellinn must be 30 or so!

ppeatfruit · 12/08/2013 09:29

And like all soap characters she'll have missed the contraception talk at school so'll get upduffed straight away Grin Look out Henry your crown will be knocked askew!!!

OnTheNingNangNong · 12/08/2013 09:38

I am so glad I missed the Hellin/Rob slurpfest. Just thinking about it makes me cringe. You could see it coming though. I'm another one who thinks Hellin will end up pregnant, possibly with Rob leaving Ambridge for good when he finds out.

Enough of Kathy already, I want to scream every time I hear her whiny voice.

ppeatfruit · 12/08/2013 11:25

No no he wants DCs remember that's part of the row he's having with Jess. I reckon they'll move in together she'll have his babee and King Henry will be jealous for the rest of his life !!!!Grin

LilacBreastedRoller · 12/08/2013 13:30

The nudity last night was way too much for me. The pictures are definitely not better on the radio.

JessieMcJessie · 12/08/2013 17:39

Why on earth don't they just do the mature thing and talk about whether his marriage is really over and, if not, why not? After all he was talking about his marriage on the evening thy they first got it on, and I don't think it was a ploy as such, well, it was wrong of him to call Helen round to talk to about it when he knew he had the hots for her, but I don't think he was making it up.

Somethingyesterday · 12/08/2013 19:37

All the talk of scars made it sound, just for a moment, as if Jess might be, er... violent. But then they moved on so I'm probably wrong. (Although it would explain why Rob was so flustered when she was supposed to be arriving the weekend before.)
I do wish Helen had more self-esteem.
