They're not plucky Tuckers, they're turkey pluckers' sons - Archers festive chat

[PseudoBadger]

:)

I know.....

I was

I'd never heard of a keyboard with Freudian slips !!!!

Hmmm curlew. I think he's older than tom but tom is the son of the older brother isn't he? If it were like a royal family it'd pass down the male line and tom would have it.

True- but I thought Tony was younger than Jennifer? Only son, though......

I've missed a couple, wish I'd heard the Jess/Jenny bit! Well, perhaps Helen is upduffed but in a few years time will die of cheese fever and bequeath her offspring to Jess...

Surely Susan and Neil will veto a casual puppy? Please SWs lets have a strong 'A dog is for life not just for Christmas' message. Will of course will need to get a replacement for Baz anyway for work.

No I think tony is the eldest. I think

Well Errol The discussion between Emm and Ed about the puppy seems serious and not flippant at all. I'm sure as country people they would look after it properly. I say that but in France around here (in the rural backwater) dogs are generally NOT looked after well.

No. Both Jennifer and Lilian are older than Tony.

I've been listening since the early 70s when I should have been doing my homework.

Favourite line: 'Mummy, where's Comet?')

(Comet was a pony who had gone to the knacker's yard, rather unexpectedly).

or: 'Sammy, you've come back!' (Tony to Peggy's cat, that he should have been looking after)

How wonderful was last night's episode! I loved the clear back story with Jess and Rob that we don't know about. And knowing more about Jenny's marriage than Jess does was a lovely thing too.

And Rob - "I don't want to live in bloody Ambridge". He's obviously heard The Archers :o

Tom is the oldest one with the Archer surname, but Adam is the oldest of that generation.

oh wait - Helen is the oldest one with the Archer surname!!!

I just listened to last night's episode - really good, I agree completely with PseudoSanta & MrsCampbellBlack.

I caught the repeat too - Jess has got a bit of a crush on Jenny and her lifestyle, hasn't she? I don't think she's going to be able to emulate that - Brine is a philanderer but he and Jenny are partners, Rob seems to have a very nasty streak and there's definitely something askew with that relationship.

The discussion between Emm and Ed about the puppy seems serious and not flippant at all.

I'm growling already at the opening of tonights...

Can I just ask, as a lifelong vegetarian, what is a fish kettle?!

It's a long metal container for poaching fish in I believe. Like Jess, I don't have one

Anyone want to borrow mine? Well, they'll have to wait til after Christmas- I need it for steaming multiple Christmas puddings.......

I think I'm channelling my inner Jennydarling.........

Jenny's recipe for salmon is what you'd expect from a 65 yr old. Jess' own recipe seemed much more interesting to me.

I like Jess & feel very sorry for her.

'Better take another gas canister out to Darrell, Ed, for his heater.....'

That is NOT going to end well!!

A side of poached salmon, decorated with slices of cucumber, as the centrepiece of a buffet fills me with horror.

Jess is going to be laughed out of the village

Really? I think it sounds lovely. . I wouldn't like wasabi mayonnaise with cold salmon- it would drown it.

Poor Darrell , I predict a deading when that new gas canister meets the fumes from Joe's special scrumpy.
