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

you win the internets for today nauticant

Whilst Kate is fun now she will get deeply annoying if she sticks around for more than three months

Kate has always made my teeth on edge. This used to be a minus, only now am I finding it a plus, but only in contrast to all the rest.

Missed TA last night, don't have the heart to listen to yesterday's epi since reading this thread. In fact, I am grateful that this thread has spared me the experience.

Normally this thread is very well behaved and a respite from AIBU and its swirly pit of despond.

It would tickle me to see Olivia banning people for feeding her Archers spoilers

"Why ever not???" Indeed. Well said Pat.

thank you Pat!

Now Tony's being moved maybe Pat will start noticing what Rob is up to...

Helen showing herself to be stupid!!

Fallon and pc plots conversations are so painful. I dont thibk i can bear it. Please can he die his heroic death soon and leave fallon to jazzer. Let me think now, do I want to listen to fallon and plot or Lillian and matt. No contest!!! Although looks like we might get mike and vicky back.

Looks like a flit to me!! Lillian has her name on the companies because matt couldn't so she could be the one in trouble if there has been fraud.

Come on Hellin! Work it out.

how will he get out of this????

Zero, I was out and about today while the afternoon play was on and I caught a couple of snippets. Half the characters were dead. And definitely not quiet. Should I listen on catch up?

Back to TA. Bring back Tiger. Or else.

I reckon he'll claim she stole his sperm, stored it and self inseminated?
it's his twins.
She has cloned him from hair she stole while doing housework and has been made pregnant by the clone.

Imagine Hellin was on MN now?

His twin's. Sorry. Afaik there's only one offspring.

In honour of eastenders we have decided to follow the tradition of recycling storylines. As this story was previously on Amex we have decided to recycle the story in the main archers show.

Interesting lack of insight from Rob, that he doesn't see how his refusal to be tested will seem to others
and that the CSA are hounding him, as if it's a personal vendetta and not a completely routine process that would apply to anyone in that situation
Like they say on Enders- 'ave a word wiv yourself Rob

Not sure Teeny - maybe worth catching to hear Emma being someone else.

It may have been the best of the three I heard. You know how they seem to make the writers write for half a brain cell shared by the entire audience? At least with this I found myself listening with attention at some points. Was a bit Gaiman derivative.

Poor, poor Lillian.

Can someone please tell the writers I live listening while chopping carrots. I don't want Jeremy Kyle.

Oh god - yes BYOS. Maybe in a fit of pique at the cancellation of AmEx they're going to insist on re-hashing every single episode on TA?

Amside's Office Manager.

Trust me - she hasn't run away with Matt.

Erm ... She's a no-nonsense type of person. If Matt had confided in her about some threat or cock-up she would have thought hard and acted with the very greatest propriety. Or she might just have resigned.

If it is revealed that Anthea is in on this I will eat my PC.

What does Rob think will happen if he refuses a test?

He'll put on a dramatic performance of Rob the Victim and will step up the control of Helen to make sure she has no choice but to buy into his version.

Alternatively SOC will go all Eastenders on our ass and there'll be a huge barney with characters "'Ee's not wurf it"-ing it all over the shop.
