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

:)

Also, Jazzur- will he ever pick up any Borsetshire intonations or did the ketamine coma impede his ability ever to sound as though he's from anywhere but the Gorbals.

Has there been a single mention of Deck the Halls this year?

RocknRoll - cast rotation is awful isn't it! Someone over on Mustardland said that the party would happen off air and we'd be treated to an evening with Susan Carter :o

Baby pseudo seems a bit happier thanks, but has completely lost her voice and still won't breastfeed :(

How dumb and poisonous is Susan Carter?

Arghghhhh, my ears are bleeding listening to Helen and Rob.

they are SO going to carry on the affair!

He is really quite slimey.

They are arent' they? And he's going to convince everyone that Jess is horrid and its now wonder he succumbed to Helen.

And oh dear to 'I wish you were dead' - we all know what that means. Bless Eddie though.

Pseudo - do you have to take DD back if she's not feeding?

Is she weeing okay pseudo? Keep an eye on her nappies - dehydration is a big issue with bronch.

Hellin n Rob are so going to DTD again

I thought Eddie was fab and if he gets harmed in any Darrell/ cider shed incident ill be very unhappy.

Ah but, Jazzer is from Drumchapel not Gorbals. Not sure how I know this, some interview with the actor a few years ago. The actor being from Corby, not Glasgow, but I think his parents are both, probably Drumchapel. As a Glasgow gal, I'd say Jazzer's accent is pretty overdone at times, sometimes quite cringemaking. DH and I have a grand 'slagging off the woeful Archers accents' session every so often.

You're right, what has happened to Deck the Hall? It's my favourite - Lizzard poncing about like Kirstie Allsopp with a cast of thousands of forelock-tugging serfs.

I was pretty close to the mark on Rob's visit to the shop.

Classic Susan gossip. Not one but two good shitstirs in the same day!

Oh dear... Eddie was doing such a lovely job, as soon as he mentioned Rosa I was thinking 'don't push it....' - she really is a total ... don't know what to call her, I like bovines and lady dogs much better than her.

I like to think that Rosa's scooter pushed Darrell over the edge.

You were eerily accurate Errol.

I hope things are improving Pseudo.

She's been awake tonight and content :) still got no voice.
She drinking expressed milk which is doing her fine but tough work for me. But she managed to breastfeed once tonight so i'm very happy :)

Wee lamb, fancy having no voice at that age! I hope you all have a better night tonight and a speedy recovery to top form over the weekend.

That's good news Pseudo

Yes the whole scooter thing was dreadful.

When Susan is on top form its easy to see where Emma gets her personality from.

The cast rotation does make me laugh - loved how at the party Brian was waiting in the car and we didn't hear a word from him all night. I reckon he'll be the one to help Jess. Jess will continue to fixate on the perfect Aldridge marriage, confide in Brian how mean Rob is and hey presto another Brian affair.

Great suggestion, Mrs CB! Brian has been concerned about his, ahem, waning powers, but finds that "comforting Jess" is better than viagra.

Oh no mind bleach needed for the thought of Brian in his tasselled loafers pursuing Jess.

Glad to hear that your girl is drinking again Pseudo :)

You can see the SWs' point, though. When they have a story that makes extensive use of 'Oh X!' 'Oh Y!' dialogue, deep breathing and snogging noises repeated ad nauseam (literally, amongst the listeners) it must speed the writing up no end.
