Big Farma in Little Ambridge - come and talk The Archers talk

[PseudoBadger]

New thread for the beginning of the pheasant season.

Jess & Rob's conversations are like 2 people on a first date - they couldn't sound less comfortable with each other!

I reckon Jess will only be in it long enough for Helen to meet her & tell her what Rob's been up to, so it doesn't matter how bland her voice is

They'll have to keep saying her name otherwise no one will know who's speaking DD1 auditioned for radio plays in the mid nineties and the producers knew about the problems with all the female voices sounding the same then they've obviously forgotten now silly arses!

Aaarrggh! David Archer just murdered one of my favourite poems.

Perversely, I love it when experienced, trained, professional actors pretend to be unable to read out loud in a natural way. It's like having a great flashing sign beaming out of the radio saying 'It's not real, you know!'

I enjoyed that, but yet another huge clunky hint dropped about Jill's driving - what will happen?

Is Jill going to crash with Murry+Mel in car making everyone realise there's a problem? Maybe she's on polypharmacopia, that would be another good storyline.

great job for Kathy

I've found the perfect job for Kathy on twitter - private events manager at Le Manoir Quatres Saisons. Ambridge wouldn't be too difficult a commute would it?

Jamie was brill.

Possibly a bit upmarket for Kathy eastpoint have you been there? It's so up itself it can see itself coming. (not to say it's not really lovely ). For the customers though

If she got the job at Le Manoir, she could suggest a Mexican Themed night?

With a dodgy carpet thrown in for free?

Yes and free margueritas for the clients that come in fancy dress with that messy salt stuff round the rim of the glasses, and a pinata!!!When is it going to happen? I wanna ticket

Call me a drippy idiot but I just went to TA gallery in the hope of there being a pic of J'lene's wedding dress but it's not there yet! They've staged all the others though, it's worth a look And the Ask Anthea problen solving bit is nicely sarky one of us could've written it !!

Shame they didn't get someone better to direct the wedding scene though where was the officiate FGS? it didn't run together very well did it?

That's the modern world for you - weddings being all about the dress and the party.

I wanted to see the dress too.....

Ooh can you post a link please ppeat.

[http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qpgr Here's] a link. I like Ask Anthea! There are two blog posts on this theme, both written by Keri Davies, who used to be host on the BBC MB. The comments underneath the first Ask Anthea blog post illustrate pretty well why the BBC closed the MB, in my view.

Link fail. Sigh. Try again:

Londonmother - why didn't you warn us there were PICTURES. Tom doesn't lookanything like that in my head.

He is far too nice looking. Jolene and Kenton look as I imagine except Jolene's hair would be brassier.

Tom has always been meant to be a hottie.

Sorry! I just blot their pictures out. My pictures are better. Jolene in my mind is much taller, slimmer (but busty) and has dark hair, possibly henna.

Fancy Lilian competing with Derek Jacobi for an acting award. Hmmm.

OK, fair warning:

1. This is a Daily Mail link.
2. The article is by Liz Jones.
3. There are lots of pictures.
4. There is a plot spoiler in it.

That said, I enjoyed it. It turns out she is a listener, or at least her mum was, and was ostensibly attending for some horse-related scene.

Here it is

Long time lurker here, huge Archers fan with a weird liz jones fascination. I came to tell you about the DM story but you already know. Enjoy...

"A little bit of almost incest."?!

And Jack hasn't died yet.

Sthing, I don't think it's incest for a woman to sleep with her husband's half-brother, but that's journalese for you.

Welcome, celestialbows!

Not being an habitual DM reader I'm struggling to identify the purpose of the article. There didn't seem to be an argument.... Rather flat.
