But none of those were Archers 'cept Grace who was only "by marriage". I'm thinking of the pure bloodline.Grin

Dead Archers: hmmmmm. Not many of those.

Doris - old age?
Dan - ditto
Jack - in a sanitorium
Phil - old age again
Christine - still hanging on unless she dies of hypothermia, drowning or a heart attack before 7.02 tonight
Jennifer, Lilian, Tony - all still with us although several attempts have been made by the SWs to get rid of Tony
Adam, Debbie, Kate, Alice, Helen, Tom, James - all still with us, and so are all their children (not many of those)
John Archer RIP
Kenton, David, Shula, Elizabeth - all still with us, and so are all their children - attempts have been made to kill David off with livestock incidents and Elizabeth with heart problems, but still they hang on
Christine's son Peter is still alive but mute. As far as I know he has no children.

I knew what you meant Zero "no mudbloods"

ErrolTheDragon · 04/03/2015 17:55

I thought Dan died following trying to turn a sheep which had got stuck in its back....yes, the wiki page says 'Elizabeth witnessed his fatal attempt to rescue a sheep in difficulty, despite her pleading with him not to.'

(can't remember what happened to the sheep. Does anyone know how/why they get on their backs? We once rescued one - we were out walking and a lamb was stood on the path baaing piteously but not moving - which seemed very odd behaviour esp as we had the dog with us, so we looked around and saw the ewe. DH turned her and the pair trotted off together.)

ErrolTheDragon · 04/03/2015 17:56

Oh...I do hope the Brookfield sheep and all those new lambs are safely out on higher ground!

ZeroFunDame · 04/03/2015 18:11

Did Dan actually die in a field Errol? (I would have to edit my admittedly hazy memories if so.)

I knew you did E&M! I had forgotten poor John for a moment - while trying to assure myself that Pip and David will both be safe.

Now I'm in a quandary. I'm a film listener, but I often catch a bit of the Tuesday night episode on the way home from Pilates. I am usually strong and turn it off, but I couldn't last night, despite thinking it was a load of old toot/tutt!
I'm worried about Scruff, and Linda who was obviously 'not herself'. And if Knob is going to somehow get away with being a bastard.
I don't know whether to give in and listen now....

Bea · 04/03/2015 19:04

Are they all going to let all the older members lose it??

minkGrundy · 04/03/2015 19:06

Hurrah for Tom.

Adam don't help him he sacked you.

All the sheep are ok. D and A had a chat about moving the sheep before the flood. They are at Marnie's

GypsyFloss · 04/03/2015 19:07

Omg Berts bungalow is gone!

Pip can't act for shite. Tom is being masterful.

sunnydayinmay · 04/03/2015 19:07

it's ok, Tom's here!!

minkGrundy · 04/03/2015 19:09

Hope Bert's oven's not gas

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 04/03/2015 19:12

Please tell me they haven't deaded bert

ZeroFunDame · 04/03/2015 19:12

Bloody hell! This is like a 70s blockbuster.

Halsall · 04/03/2015 19:12

Oh ffs. Someone's going to SOTMC, aren't they?

Stickerrocks · 04/03/2015 19:13

Charlieeeeeeeeee!

minkGrundy · 04/03/2015 19:13

Bert is fine

WhatWouldFreddieDo · 04/03/2015 19:13

oh ffs, 'just the wind'

Charlie's pretty disposable as a character, can't really see the point, so perhaps it'll be Adam who is deaded trying to rescue him

Bea · 04/03/2015 19:13

Charlie! Deaded??

GypsyFloss · 04/03/2015 19:14

Oohh Charlie.

Horrendous hammy acting tonight.

minkGrundy · 04/03/2015 19:14

Think the B and F thing is just to show how devoted they are to each other.

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 04/03/2015 19:14

I haven't bothered switching on tonight as if rather help ds with his maths homework (says it all really)

GypsyFloss · 04/03/2015 19:14

Charlie ...you'd do anything for another snog!

WhatWouldFreddieDo · 04/03/2015 19:14

aha, saved by Adam - luuuuurvvvv!
