Exeunt, pursued by a sow. And so on, for the next 60 years of The Archers.

It's all about the Sons at the moment. Tom is having an identity crisis, Dan is off to Sandhurst, and poor old Adam is working his socks off.
Follow the undulating Ambridge pastures here!

Haha Jennifer-dahling is trying to foist her old kitchen units on Pat now

Agree that Charlie is a right cunt. D'you think David is on to something with the new owner of BL buying up land on the new road route?

The announcer just made me snort. "tomorrow Clarrie is feeling down. Let's hope Jennifer doesn't try and cheer her up!"

I definately think the new road thing is brewing up to be a big storyline...I bet the proposed route goes right through someone's farm

Teah but sadly I suspect I won't be able to bring myself to give a fuck carpel

Imagine if it was Brookfield being tarmaced over..I can just imagine Ruth now..
"Ooh Daaaaeeeviid, what will e dooooo."

What's the proposed date for Loxfest please?

August Bank holiday so 25th August.

Sorry I posted as I was catching up with weds episode, they then went on to mention the date umpteen times.
God it's Fallon this, Fallon that at the moment. She's soooooo cool

WHAT has happened to Jenny Dahling's personality??? Going on and on and on to Pat.....

Loxfest is surely doomed given the uncertainty about whether Tom's sausage van will be on hand.

I must say I'm enjoying the tactless way Jenny keeps trying to foist her kitchen units onto anyone else without realising that it's not terribly polite to insinuate that they must be desperate for something that she has been moaning about for so long. My feeling is that when Kingsley, whatsit and the two Steves do a runner, she will be begging Brine to get them reinstalled.

Gahh. I missed it this evening and the website is still saying 'this episode will be availaible soon'. It's nearly tomorrow already!

Iplayer was v slow to update yesterday errol but I listened here which is always updated quickly (with thanks to Mimsy I think for pointing that one out - apologies if it was someone else!)

Iplayer still not updated. Cabin pressure not available either

Thanks WillieWd. I was getting a bit desperate. I must remember that link.
I'm wondering if Brine is on something. Nothing seems to be getting to him at the moment.
Perhaps Fallon might like JD's kitchen to do a bit of distressing.

Phew, FINALLY caught up! (I used to be Somewherebeyondthesea btw, NC'd in the Great Heartbleed Crisis). Nearly a month of crazy work stuff has seriously interrupted my listening habits. Day off today so what else to do but catch up on two and a half weeks' worth of episodes (while knitting)! I missed all the wedding excitement and everything ...

Am quite enjoying Fallon and PC Burns' enactment of The Taming Of The Shrew. How many pieces of artfully distressed furniture can she make him buy before she gives in and offers him a roll in the hay?

Agree that some of the 'happy families' parallels were hammered home very clunkily - Shula/Dan and Kenton/David/Jill contrasting with the Home Farm angst. A bit cheesy and obvious at times.

Not liking this new 'evil BL overlords' storyline. OTOH if it gets Brine to do something interesting then perhaps it will be worth it in the longrun ... He has been v boring for a long time now.

Really hoping that Brenda doesn't get dragged into the Tom situation as his 'one true love'. Too obvious.

Have been wondering, if I was Kirsty, what would I do? There's absolutely no way I'd want to return to a small village where everyone had just seen me get jilted and will remember it for the next 50 years. Still less would I want to continue working in my ex-almost-inlaws' business forever more.
You'd have to relocate to somewhere new and start afresh, wouldn't you, surely? Is this a chance for her to reconcile with Brenda and join her in the Big Smoke, both of them put the miserable wimp of a sausage baron behind them, and go on to fabulously high flying careers (and marry matching tech millionaires) ...?

Well, if the honeymoon was supposed to be two weeks I guess we'll find out today or Sunday who has come back... I hope Kirsty decides to stay in Costs Rica. Anya may finally get a speaking part!

Re the burger van - perhaps by August Rob will be manning it himself as his present job doesn't seem terribly secure. Or he'll have subsumed the pig business into some nefarious plan of his own - completely cutting out Tom.

Oooh, oooh! If there's panic over pigs it may mean we hear more of gorgeous Maurice.

Thanks for that link Willie, I've bookmarked it. But having got to this time I'll listen to the repeat.

marking my place - haven't visited for a while. Dying to know what happens after the regulatory 2 week honeymoon is up

oh and this new festival man could be fun too. Maybe a rival for Fallon's baked goods?

Marcus Somebody? I was making plans for him too. Thing is, all too often they mention someone but then we never hear of them again. Frustrating.

Where's my lovely Justin?

I've been away and out of R4 earshot for 3 weeks. I can Listen Again to the Omnibus from last week, I think? I seem to remember someone saying there was a website that someone archives previous omni's on, is that still going?

I've obviously gathered the Main Thing That's Happened, but would like to hear it for myself.

I think I hate Clarrie's voice even more than Pip and Rooth.

Yeah but given how much they're bigging up Loxfest he's got to be a three month wonder at least.
Either financial disaster or sex bomb. Jennydarling is already delivering the financial disaster so I am thinking sex bomb.

Has the Archers ever had a threesome?
