Sexy sex on lovely legs, shearing sheep bare-chested. Tell us how you picture the good folk of Ambridge (and feel free to discuss anything else rural soap-related).

For me, that describes Ed. Some strange people think that it describes Jazzer.
Does it matter what they look like? We know and love their voices (except you Pip)

I've always imagined her to be dark and petite. The only blondes are Alice with her messy bun as mentioned upthread, Emmur with badly done home highlights and Helen , who is actually mousy but likes to pretend she's naturally sun kissed.

Helen's mentioned getting her hair cut at least twice. Are the SWs setting her up for a coiffeurial catastrophe?
Glad there is support for Bring Back Ifty. He is definitely gorgeous, with a look of the young Imran Khan, and a nice line in rumpled white linen shirts. He wears an old classic stainless steel Rolex (it belonged to a beloved great uncle who left it to him) with a slightly loose wristband that emphasises his very nicely shaped manly wrists and hands.

Is it easy to get into the Archers I would like to .

I've just heard PC Plot singing. Ouch!

My dp says we're off to loxfest (may have to pull a few strings as I hear tickets are selling fast). We are already triple booked that weekend festival wise but it was pc plot's singing that clinched. Ds will be cross but we will medicate with chocolate cake

To be honest most of my favourite singers can't sing that well if you put them in a room with a piano so his voice wouldn't bother me if he's got stage presence. I'm off to stand in a field now and so I will miss tonight's big dinner party- please let it be a disaster!

I don't think that the dinner party will be plot-changing because it is not happening on a THURSDAY. And as you know, Thursday is the day when all the big game-changing things occur, to enable at least a little denouement/reflection on Friday without leaving us hanging til Sunday.

I am prepared to be proved wrong, indeed I hope to be.

Was anyone else put it mind of Ness and Rob Brydon off of Gavin and Stacey last night with the duet?

So... When we heard "Morrissey" all those months ago - what was actually meant was "a policeman who was once in a Morrissey tribute band"? If there's no nut-fuelled dash to A&E tonight I will be severely disappointed. (But what is it that will cause P &T to "wonder" as Mr Continuity promised?) Yes, it is easy to get into The Archers!

CuttedUpPear definitely! Think Nessa and Uncle Bryn mangled slightly more successfully though.

The whole Fallon/ Plod thing is just naff. I hate how all the things she disliked in him are being slowly revealed to not be true and how actually he is a jolly good egg after all.

I don't think knob has invited his parents. I think they will be waiting and waiting and Helen will get more and more upset

I think there will be red flags from the parents - indicating that Knob has been lying. Of course Helen will do her best to ignore them, but Pat and Tony will not.
Or it could be something with Knob not getting the inheritance he expected from Jess's Dad.

I was a bit about the singing policeman.Were we supposed to like it?!

... So he can emphasise how heartless they are and how he only has Helen and her family? BuildYourOwn that is genius. Of course we only have his word for it that he invited them.

Oh dear.

How can I wait till 7?

Cockbadgers! Relatives are coming for the weekend so I'll struggle to hear tonight AND the minibus. They listen to R2 at sub hearing threshold unlke my R4 stereo in every room with some digital time delay to catch missed sentences May have to go non-contact. Or volunteer to barbecue...

Puggle - can you need something urgently from the shop and listen on your phone/in the car? Then you can assure them that no, they must sit around and drink wine while you get your mysterious missing ingredient, which has the further benefit of making you into uber-hostess

blessed yes it is easy to get into as long as you don't mind having years of confusion about the difference between some of the posh voices

yy to PC Plot being rubbish at singing. I have an irrational dislike of that character actually.

Genius work Oddfodd!

I know someone who spent her whole wedding crying in the loo because she's put herself under way too much pressure.

Maybe Helen will do that

Gosh, Blessed, I thought you were saying you'd like to get into the cast or go and live in the village! Ahem. Yes, it's quite easy to get into TA as a listener. However, do remember that you can check out but you can never leave...

I didn't dislike PC Plot's singing but I wasn't blown away by it. Build, that's so sad but very Helen. Oh dear.

I think Ifty looking like a young Imran Khan to more than one of us (I'm included) reveals quite a lot about MNers who listen to the Archers. Young Imran/Ifty would have been irresistible to Lizzie IMHO. How could she go from Ifty to Roy (who reminds me of a young Alan Titchmarsh)?

I thought one of he characters described as a young imran khan when he was first introduced?

Have to say I thought it was lazy stereotyping - oh look, someone from the Indian sub continent. He must be good at cricket and maths. But let's make sure there's no negativity and make him hot and a really good guy.

Do wish they would bring him back though! Much better than pc plot an surely the only other ethnic minority after usha?

Jemima went from imran to Russell. I can't get my head round that

Russell Brand? Goodness me. I wouldn't touch him without wearing a pair of industrial strength rubber gloves and even then I'd want danger money.

All the more for the rest of us Mimsy

Byos - agree with the lazy stereotyping- it was pretty painful I thought! There are spoilers on that other forum regarding tonight and next week- they call them spoilers but it's actually speculation based on the RT- and I think there's room for interpretation. I really must pack!
