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).

[PseudoBadger]

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)

Ironing his polyester trousers wearing his short sleeved shirt, tie, pulled up socks and y fronts

I've gone over all funny just thinking about it

Or not

Sat astride a fraying office chair like Ambridge's answer to Christine Keeler?

I've also gone over all funny, but not in a good way.

Well I'm sure they would sell two (to Hayley and liz). Can't see t being a lower loxley money spinner!

Would December see him as Santa with his red suit slashed to the navel and lizzie dressed as an elf on his knee?

By December it could be him running with a raging Hayley chasing him with a carving knife.

Going back to the serious side - so you think liz was subconsciously undermining Hayley?

Also, I can see how affairs happen between colleagues but generally the spouse is a faceless person at home. In this case toys spouse is very much present and was incredibly kind and helpful (particularly the kids) in the aftermath of Skyfall. Lizzie is definitely one of those ow that owes something to the wife as both a friend and employee. Definitely not just Roy betraying her

I think they are overdoing the extra marital affairs if Adam cheats. That'll be 3 in the last 6 months

I am so confused about Roy, I cannot form him into a believable character in my head.

What does he look / dress like, to you?

Maybe they'll bring Ian and Charlie together and they'll be the ones having an affair? Serve Adam right if so.

I note that they are having Pat's hazelnut pavlova/gateau for pudding when Ma and Pa Tichenor turn up. Not sure which as gasped when I heard 'hazlenut' in the dialogue.

Are we certain that Charlie's gay?

Susan on top form again

All we need is Radio Carter!!

I do think thy overdid it (new sw need to learn subtlety!!). Susan is a massive gossip but even she isn't crass enough to not realise Jill is not someone to gossip on this particular topic with

The key to being a successful nosy busy body is making sure you don't gossip about someone too close to the person you're talking to unless you are trying to get some further juice. And Jill is not likely to know about Jenny's love life.

Roy is a bit David Brent-ish in my head. But a bit younger.

at putting the man in man-made fibres. This thread is brilliant.

And (shock) at the 'good innings' remarks to Peggy who must be about 103.
Susan was always an unsympathetic character but she has become unbearable recently.

What Roy looks and dresses like: (I have spent too long thinking about this lately)

He is spindly and unremarkable in stature with mousy brown hair and the beginnings of a beer gut. His skin is pale and his hands are always slightly clammy. He bites his nails. He has slight eczema which is exacerbated by his total reliance on man-made fibres (all Tuckers are brought up to think that natural fibres are only for the bourgeois and effete). Dandruff drifts gently from his scalp in light breezes. He smells of Lynx Africa and wears slip on shoes. It is INCONCEIVABLE that anyone could ever get drunk enough to shag him in a tent.

I would add that he doesn't wear glasses and has a careful hairstyle that he thinks is very smart but just looks geeky try hard

oh sorry, that was the old Roy, the new Roy is a bit of a man mountain with rugged good looks and a casual tousled look. He can whip a womans knickers off with just one wink and wrestle a horse to the ground with one arm tied behind his back. And he wears only the skins of animals he has killed with his bear like bare hands.

Actually scrap that, Roy has morphed into Daniel Craig playing the character in 'The Mother'

I think you'll find he smells of Farenheit or other starter aftershave. He's totes over Lynx (though wishes Hayley would buy him their shower gel instead of original source / Lady Matey)

Roy is a bit of rough and nowhere near intelligent/good looking enough/good enough to be a serious contender for Lizzie's affections (IMO) - he's never been good looking in my view - bit of a plonker really

YY to Roy's careful hairdo. He puts some sort of product in it and spends five or six minutes carefully prodding it into shape, making Zoolander faces at himself in the mirror.

He is plenty good enough for Lizzie (who really isn't All That - she just cleverly married a stately home) but he should remember that he is a married man.

I think part of the problem with the idea of Roy sweeping anybody off their feet, apart from him sounding such a drip, is the name Roy

I never believed in him with Kate, either

Roy grew up on a farm in the countryside and spends his days supervising pastoral jollification. It would be impossible for him to be either pale or clammy. You're all meanies.

I can't find any reason to assume he's anything other than at least averagely attractive; just, simultaneouly, not clever enough to find an academic route out of Ambridge but too clever to get suckered into scraping a living from farming without a huge, profitable farm. (And I guess his mother's early overwork related death would have put him off anyway.)

He's done reasonably well for himself - successfully fought Princess Kate for the soul of Phoebe, owns half the house he grew up in, has carved out a niche career to maintain his rural idyll.

And if he does veer towards the careful and controlled in life it's no surprise given how close his family has come to disaster, more than once, since he was very young.

Ooooh, Zero loves Roy!
