Sack the Sock - put a sock in it or pull your socks up - frankly we're a bit sick of it. The Archers is shit, discuss it here.

I have it on good authority that this is the thread that people enjoy more than the programme it's about

Maybe a 22 year old RADA graduate will take over the role. I'm surprised Lillian survived the trip to Madeira without being recast.

Aren't Ian and Adam due back from Miami soon? Maybe they will be played by dick and Dom?

indeed mimsy

I think he has definitely done a runner but never in a million years would it be with another woman.

And may I just add
Noooooooooooooooo

Maybe SOC was going for the longest scream, but from listeners instead this time

dick and dom

Colin and Justin (is that the right names? The ones who did up houses).

Haha yes that is them pseudo.

Next thread title needs to be something about saving Tiger.

Sod the -insert name of endangered moth here- save the tiger!

The radio programme formerly known as TA is now twinned with the World Wildlife Fund. Join with us - Save the Ambridge Tiger.

That sort of thing but more elegant?

Personally I'd just have the email address and phone number for Feedback as a title.

God, I haven't listened yet and now I am afraid to.

It was Costa Rica he tried to flee to before; Panama is where the fake canoe death man went.

Fingers crossed that if this is a suicide or a flit they'd have signposted it more, and it's actually a positive story. If they wanted rid of Matt they could just have made him silent or something. The whole point of that first Amex was that he was meant to have got the crazy investment stuff out of his system and realised Lil was all that mattered. If they are rehashing that storyline then it's an insult to those of us who persevered with Amex.

I think Matt has been a naughty boy in some dodgy deal again, owes someone mobey and has had to do a runner until he can pay them off.

I think this is the start of a big tiger puszcat storyline. She will start frantically trying to find him...firstly by finding out jow long it is since anyone has seen him...Brine will be key witness.
Then there will be phonecalls from Tiger asking pusscat for funds.

That's why he's not been on. They've been saving up for weeks of it.

Although it does kinda heap more drama on the drama. May tie in with another SL?

They had better not have deaded Tiger or they will rue the day!

Those paintings though - wonder if they are the ones Fagash bought with Paul?

Perhaps Paul is UNDEAD!?!

And I do hope this means we will hear from Anthea again. Surely Fagash will need to interrogate ask her about Tiger's recent movements?

I was going to suggest a positive thread title this time but not any more.

If they wanted him dead then surely Lilian would just have have found him on floor?

I honestly don't believe he's dead. As a character. What I'm not so sure of is whether we'll get the proper Matt back or whether we will get soundalike recent drama school wonk. I'm hanging on for the former.

Matt isn't silly. If it was an insurance job he wouldn't leave a note. He would have to be fleeing to leave the safe open.

I am feeling cross because you either need a build up (money problems, badly covered anxiety etc) or a SL where it is something that can happen suddenly. Such as death, illness etc. but there's been no build up just sudden drama.

"We need a realistic way to get rid of this Matt character. What, there's no plausible way? Ok, let's do this then"

I'm really not looking forward to the episode when Brian is abducted by aliens.

Thread title suggestion from a newbie (sung to 'Eye of the Tiger')

"As the last known voice actor does a bunk in the night, is he watching them all with the eyeeeeeee .... of the TIGER?"

lol zero
Loving the thread title twinned with the WWF!!
Also loving "Snoresville" for the very elderly!

Sounds like Amside is in trouble, Lil better be making an appointment with the bank and getting her passport updated at Peterborough ...

....also loving Bores ideas of the undead in Ambridge , linking in with Carol/Seance stuff and obviously this would channel the "yoof" theme by encouraging ex Twilight listeners of the under 25 age bracket.

It's all my fault isn't it?

It's because I suggested him for the pre-omnibus weekly round-up monologue? He would have been the best "new" Tom Forest.

Guess they didn't want quite so much harking back to the past ...

I always imagine Ian and Adam looking like Colin and Justin Pseudo

Love it Alisonm.

I mean, this definitely IS going to be a story isn't it? I can't see L sitting around watching Loose Women patiently waiting for him to come back. Surely we can expect a muffled "Pusscat" phone call soon?

It had better be a good story that ends with same actor matt back in ambridge!

What do we want? Our Tiger! When do we want him? 7.02pm Friday 16th January 2015 at the absolute latest!

If Matt is written out, I will be beside myself. He's one of the best characters and is played by one of the best actors.

this ^^
