Sheeping With The Enemy - in a brand new bed? Discuss the trials and tribulations of the Archers

Just don't be so careless with your watch Helen

zeroyouve put your finger on what bothered me about Ruth's comment.

And nanny we dreamed up that exact scenario: the PC will rescue Hellin from DV.

And I bet they all go home and tell their other halves that Kirsty's a bit extreme, a bit shrill but once she's married she won't have time for all that feminist nonsense..........

It's a baby step in the right direction though, surely?

I wasn't too happy with the women all drooling over PC Burns - if it had been a fit female speaking at an all male event that sort of banter would have been decidedly .

Still, as he's now firmly established as the local hunk, perhaps he will inadvertently wreck a marriage before rescuing Helen ... I'm sort of hoping that she and Rob go on for years.

zero what did Emmur do for a living before George came along? I really can't remember.

Hellin will need someone's arms to fall into when it goes tits up with Rob. Obv

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!

Don't click if you don't want to know what the actor who plays him he looks like

PC Burns

Not how I imagined him, I must say

Hmm, not bad, not bad at all.

PC Burns/WI thing [cringe]

Do adult women really carry on like that in real life?

SomethingOnce - unfortunately YES.
I had a lot of very embarrassing playgroup committee meetings where one member of staff (a qualified teacher) used to drawl over one parent who happened to be a Fireman.

I think Emmur is now being written as if she has a huge insecurity complex, maybe she is feeling less attractive now she is older and a Mummy, and isn't coping. I hope they continue this and help her a bit. I'm sure there are lots of women like her.

I'm surprised Ruth didn't have an opinion, though.

He is rather nice, I like that hair/ eye colour in a man.

But he's not what I thought at all.

Ooh now I see what all the fuss is about :) I had him as generic policeman tall, dark, blue eyes.
(And sadly yes women do carry on like that - there is one "good looking dad" at the school and it is embarrassing)
(I don't)

Well I'm on the fence like Ruth;if there's no coercion then it's up to the woman IMO it's a free country innit. I wouldn't do it and I admit I would be uncomfortable about our DDs doing pole dancing but there you go.

Brava for the first all woman episode of TA!!!

Yep. WI- because there was a good looking bloke talking, then an awkward "feminist" discussion tagged on at the end, and a nice patronizing comment about the woman who dared to be older than the others having an opinion........

Yuck.

ComposHat TBH I can't remember. I know she used to clean for Ian and Adam but not sure if that was before or after George.

Right. I am going to ask again.

What has Harman done that she should apologise for?

Oops- wrong thread, sorry!

Honestly though, how likely is it that a tiny break-in in a tiny village in the sticks would get such an instant & on-going response from the local constabulary?

If they had to shoehorn a new hunk into the programme, surely he could have been some kind of agricultural bod?

Oh no, I disagree. They badly need non-farming representatives of the outside world in Ambridge. It has become staggeringly unrealistic.

That's why Ruth had nothing to say during the WI discussion - she never speaks to anyone on any topic that is not farm or village related.....

I don't remember Emmuh going to catering college but it was mentioned a while ago. (If the way she coped with a low budget was evidence of it then all they taught was how to open prepared food ).

Which would be funny but I remember the DCs taking tins of food to school to 'assemble' a pizza in the early 90s. FFS.

Yes, zero - a curious dearth of state employees for one thing. Amy and Ifty well on the sidelines ... was there anyone else before PC Smoulders Burns?

A postman would have worked

He could give a talk on how the Govt shafted the great British public

or how best to stick stamps on your letters

Or a Hermes delivery driver. They must buy loads off stuff on the internet off-air
