Will this thread make it to the wedding? Will it outlive Tony?

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! OK, new actress. Still v. annoying, though.

Yes, when the old, simpering Heather and her marmalade seemed to be interesting Phil a tad too much some years ago, the velvet glove was well and truly off Jill's iron fist for a while.

Lol nauticant would move back there tomorrow, sadly am now 350 miles south :( and thanks to willie for the memories....My favourite place ever is the pub in Alnmouth....Yes, I now remember the marmalade wars all coming back as Jill really had her nose out of joint....am I hallucinating that Heather was 'courted' by someone else? Will dig into the archives.
:)

According to the cast list 'Highs - Finding occasional companionship with the very eligible Professor Jim Lloyd'

Is Fallon riding a horse while talking to Plod? Weird clip clopping noises. Ohh can't wait for a bit of romance!

As for Rob, what a plonker...

The driving distance for me is 340 miles guineapiglet. One day maybe.

I think that Heather may have gone on a cruise on which Jim was doing one of his lectures.

I'd forgotten about Phil's extra-marital marmaladophilia! That was hilarious. The new Heatherpet is indeed much more Viz than Northumbria, she could be Sid the Sexist's mum.

Snork " mayday wouldn't be mayday without the Morris men thwacking their sticks" ..
Love Lynda!

Fabulous - a marmalade confirmation and an update on Darryl - almost as if the SWs wanted to answer our questions!

Fabulous! Do we have TA thread Bingo? Marmalade wars, Darrell, Shula pre-Dan... Wonderful episode and almost everything we've been talking about.

OMG.

Spooky.....

That's so funny

Funny?

How is it funny to discover there is another me walking around, thinking my thoughts.....

Something must be done.

Can't you take up Emmerdale or summat?

Not...

I have a new idea about Fallon slapping Rhys. Do you think that Rob might get to hear and then use it either against Fallon, or to justify violence against Helen?

Nowt wrong with the NE accents to me, yes they are from a fairly wide area, but you know, they are North Eastern. (And No they are Not Geordie! - round here Geordie=Tyneside, I got into trouble for calling the local people here Geordies, some 40 years ago).

They, of course, thought I was a Cockney, because I have a London accent. But I am from SE London, when I've got my ear in I used to be able to tell London accents apart - SE, SW, Cockney (East London) and Essex.

I live in Co Durham and have done for donkeys years. And have studied Linguistics, among other things.

But ShimmeringP PC Burns sounds more suited to Trumpton...

GrendelsMum I think Rob is more likely to throw Fallon's bad example in Helen's face if she starts trying to assert herself... "Seriously darling, don't you think youd be much happier if you didn't spend your time with people like that? After all Fallon is hardly an expert on domestic harmony....."

I agree about PC Burns from Trumpton - but so far we have only heard from him while he is on duty. I think he takes on the 'role' of policeman in his mind while at work, and outside that he may sound more relaxed.

I certainly hope so, if he's going to be with Fallon for any length of time. I think he may be a rebound relationship for her, before Jazzer rides to the rescue (on Trigger, the horse that pulled The Fastest Milk Cart in the West).

I thought he sounded OK when he was dealing with Jill ... maybe he puts on the act when he's having to deal with people being daft rather than proper criminal stuff?

Anyway, nice to hear Darryl's got a flat, hopefully will be out of the caravan and Ambridge for ever the foreseeable future.

Do we think they had to pay some actor for his big moment producing Barry's strangulated shriek of pain today? Or was it one of the others moonlighting?

perhaps it was Graham Seed?

Oh, yes! Weren't we talking about Nigel's ghost coming back to wreak havoc? Bingo!

Though I'd have said only a highly experienced cyclist could produce the sound of such heroic agony....

I agree TheShimmering - not Geordie. I think Heather is supposed to be from Northumberland. The accent sounds fake to me, almost like she is having to think how to say each word. The old Heather was much easier on the ear.

Of course, voices do change as we get older

She was ennunciating each word separately, it seemed to me, perhaps so that those unfamiliar with the accent could keep up

VERY disapointed that Jazzer said "splinter". They never miss any other opportunity to throw in a bit of vernacular.Jazzer would definitely call it a skelf.
