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

[PseudoBadger]

:)

I'm very excited

Loving it so far

He's going to hit Jess at the end of the night isn't he?

Well that was excellent!

Nasty, nasty man....

Welcome agnes

That Rob is an utter bloody cad. It's about time they had a decent DV storyline- it needs airing imo.

Yep I think it's going to be DV. I don't think they've done that in a long term relationship have they? Simon/Debbie was short-lived but I suspect this kind of DV is much more common (and hidden)

It was a brilliant episode

Poor Jess.....sat on the kitchen floor amongst the salmon...
Rob is an utter cad.
Jennifer is insufferable - I would have decked her if I was Helen!

Oooo. Fingers in ears singing lalala, until I can catch up with this episode. Runs away from thread.

I need to catch up, missed this evening as I caught up with some tv instead.

TV Gypsy?!

I missed it as poor tiny dd has been in hospital with bronchiolitis :( she's out now but not great. I listened to last night's episode at 2am driving to A&E! I hope to catch up tonight from my warm bed.

oh dear Pseudo, I hope she's well again soon. Bronchiolitis is horrible and even worse in tiny ones.

Pseudo :( Bronchiolitis is horrible. Poor you and poor tiny DD. I hope you both manage to get some rest tonight. x

Thank you for warm welcome. I too have missed tonights but the Rob/ Jess/ Helen story line is one I have managed to vaguely follow. I'm a very sporadic listener but maybe now I've found you all I'll be more diligent about keeping up.

Sorry to hear that your lovely Dd is unwell Pseudo.

Tell her from me that we can't have the next generation of Archers listeners shirking the Christmas events.

I hope you both have a peaceful night and that she makes a swift recovery.

Thanks everyone, who'd have a winter baby eh?
She's not bad enough to be kept in another night but I'm not entirely comfortable with her at home - she's so small!

Wishing your baby well Pseudo , there seems to be lots of bronchiolitis around this year.

I know Jolly I felt like a heretic writing that and it sounds like I missed a cracker too. I will station myself right next the radio tomorrow afternoon.

It's bloody scary although I'm sure they would have kept her in if they had any concerns. Keep an eye on her breathing if you're worried though (over 40/minute is too fast).

You can always take her back if you have any concerns - the A&E paed told me they'd rather parents of small babies err on the side of caution

And welcome, agnes :) I'm an entirely dedicated listener but I've become much more enthusiastic about listening daily (rather than the omnibus) since this thread. It sucks you in!

Thanks Odd - we took her back last night having been there in the afternoon as she was breathing at 60 per minute. It was horrible.

Grim :( Sorry - I see you already know what you're doing. I didn't and ended up with an embarrassing ambulance dash

Sleepless night ahead I'm sure. Gah. Hope there's tea and mince pies as consolation

I only knew because they told me! It's so tough when it's down to you to make these decisions.

Just caught up - fab episode! I love Rob's 2 voices - one for Jess, one for everyone else.

I just LA'd - now that is the sort of episode that makes TA worth listening to. Rob is turning into a splendidly nasty character. Poor Jess alone in the kitchen with the wreckage of the salmon.

It was a cracking episode. Jenny couldn't leave quick enough...poor Jess ,despite her odd manner of speaking.

And Helen going on about Jess being difficult to live with.....it's positively a Mumsnet thread!
