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

[PseudoBadger]

Just don't be so careless with your watch Helen

[JessieMcJessie]

I am positive that he heard her say tuna on the phone- why? Because he walked in and commented on the smell, but cooking tuna doesn't have a distinctive smell. (neither the warming up of tinned -admittedly bleurgh-nor the searing of fresh). He planned it all along. There was a definite pause on the phone- that was him thinking "how can I use this to abuse her?"

[WipsGlitter]

He head her say tuna but then used it to make her feel small and weak. It's a very well done storyline!!

[SomethingOnce]

I might've missed something, but why is Kenton being such a dick about Jolene's costumes?

[WillieWaggledagger]

plot device to get them into the cellar so they could be ruined by floodwater they were taking up too much room in the wardrobe

[ZeroSomeGameThingy]

It could be because he's worried about his mother. Or because Jolene's disreputable past unsettles him. Or it may be that the honeymoon period is well and truly over and - having discovered that he and Jolene have nothing in common, their marriage is about to go rapidly downhill. I hope it's the first.

[ExcuseTypos]

Kenton thinks Jolene is too old to wear them in public. He got rather angsty when she said she might wear them on stage.

[ExcuseTypos]

Oh yes, he was also moaning about the lack of wardrobe space.

[OddFodd]

Is it trying to (hamfistedly) to show the difference between 'normal' and EA relationships (although K is being a bit of a dick about it)?

Someone turned up unexpectedly today so I missed the lunchtime repeat. I wanted to listen to HellinRob's phone conversation again. Although I listen in the evenings, it's 'wind down' to bedtime here which in our house, is anything but!

[PseudoBadger]

I did laugh the other day when Jolene asked Kenton did he not think she could pull the outfits off? And he said it was pulling them on he was worried about :o

[Panzee]

I assumed it was something to do with Lizzie's music festival.

[ComposHat]

Yes. Expect Eddie and Jolene to do a fuet of islands in the stream or a gram parsons/emmylou Harris number

[bigbadbarry]

Marking place in new thread. Lovely title :)

[GypsyFloss]

I was at DV training this morning and by god Rob ticks so many of the boxes. If this doesn't turn nasty I'll eat my hat.

The flooded cellar at the Bull is a coincidence

[CuttedUpPear]

It's not like Jolene to be so negative and grumpy. She's normally very laid back!

[ZeroSomeGameThingy]

Yes, but it's all her youth in those cases...

[SomethingOnce]

I think Kenton caused the flood to ruin the costumes!

Bastard!

[ComposHat]

Normally yes. But I lost patience when Sid the homophobe died. Someone woild say something nondescript like 'I'm to have a shite' and she'd pipe up with 'oh Sid used to love having a shite' in a wistful voice.
That was probably more to do with me hating Sid.

[ZeroSomeGameThingy]

Oh no!

[WhatSheSaid]

I was just thinking, virtually the entire episode is topical insert - flooding at the Bull and the Tony/David/Ruth/Pat rescue mission. They must have got rid of lots of stuff that was meant to be in this episode. Haven't read Keri's blog yet though.

[harrietspy]

at the continuity announcer. The shower scene can still make me shudder.

Which makes me think about the most memorable moments in TA. It's probably been done before... But I'm thinking shower scene, NIIIIIGGGEEEELLLLL, the night when Ruaridh (?) was born and Jenny found out ... What am I missing?

[TheRaniOfYawn]

When John died. I was writing an essay and didn't find out until after the omnibus.

[cheminotte]

marking my place on new thread - still behind so can't read yet.

[GypsyFloss]

Definitely when John died and poor old Nigel.

I didn't finish listening tonight, it was beyond dull and my dislike for Ruth is overwhelming

Was Helen moonlighting as the wedding dress shop owner?

[Crikeyblimey]

Marvellous - new sparkly thread :)
