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

Oh yes, definitely Kenton on the train. Perhaps Jazzer thought it was the only way to divert Rob's evil attentions from Tom.

I'm 37 and have been listening to the Archers and R4 for over 10 years. The best ever leaving present I've received from a job was a 'Best of Just A Minute' CD.

I'm 24, and my nan used to be a follower

It must have cost Rob a fortune to spike all these drinks.

I'm 38 and have been listening for 20 years. I started at university because I grew up near Borsetshire and TA reminded me of home ;-)

I completely agree about the lack of discussion of pregnant Ruth doing all that lambing, it must be significant.

But, I've just found out today I'm pregnant with number 2 and really don't want a miscarriage/birth defects/stillbirth storyline. Selfish I know

Congratulations, Tallgiraffe

Yay, another Archers baby Congratulations TallGiraffe

I've been listening independently since the age of 18 - my room mate and I never missed the omnibus at university (except on one Remembrance Sunday when we forgot it started an hour earlier!) and consulted our mums for historical background. Consequently have always thought of myself as a younger listener though realise we are now older than our mums were then - a sobering thought. Have semi-converted dh though he occasionally makes irritating remarks like "It's not real you know" if I'm discussing some plot twist too enthusiastically which is why I'm so delighted to have discover this thread (and it's predecessors). Dare I say it, I'm almost enjoying this thread as much as The Archers itself.

Congratulations TG!

congratulations tallgiraffe!

Going to have to mark my place for the moment...

Yes, the meeting of Brine and Ian's dad before the civil partnership ceremony was an utterly marvellous scene.

Ahh, Westending with Party Fears Two as fantastically cool theme music.

For Friday night listening I'm quite a fan of Radio 3 after 10pm. There is often stunningly different music to listen to.

Oh.... PC Plot heaves into view again. Presumably Fallon will have to contact him again re her purse which will have been stolen by now.

I did like the way Jolene dealt with poor Kenton.

Bah, not Westending but Weekending.

Excellent news, TG. Are you looking for name suggestions yet?

Congratulations TG. I am looking at six month old baby Cobbler, he is def an Archers baby as the theme music always gets his attention

Congratulations, TallGiraffe!

Congratulations TallGiraffe :) Who'se due first, Rooth or you?!

ColdTeaAgain I'm "only" 30 :)

Have been up to my ears in parents' consulations at school the last two nights so missed tonight and came in half way through yesterday's. I very womanfully didn't stay in the car to finish off the epi, but when I got in found DH was listening anyway! Hurrah!! I have worn him down!!

congratulations Tall Giraffe
lots of now and no more !!

I do think PC Burns has a yummy voice! lucky old Fallon.....staying at Hellins tonight so will get the inside gen on Rob....

Ah florence and Lillian that's so lovely :) I really hope The Archers keeps going strong, I'd love to say I've been a fan for 20 years one day!

Great to see that so many people around my age listen, not that it matters one jot but it gives me smug satisfaction to tell DP about you all although I think he has gave up the fight a while ago!

Congratulations TallGiraffe, hoping Ruth's baby storyline is a happy one too :)

I was wondering if titch knob is going to make some kind of deniable pass at Fallon which will cause a rift between her and Hellin.
He is enough of a twat.

Thank you all Very excited. Ruth's due first and as DC1 shares a name with an Archer child, it's probably a good thing we'll know what they call their baby first. Two Archer names could start to sound obsessive I think

Welcome all new followers! I'm 34 and have been listening properly for about 10 years, but it's been there all my life.
Congrats TallGiraffe! I have 2 Archers babies, DS is The same age as Henry and DD is the same age as Nic/Will's I've forgotten her name
