SOC has soaked Ambridge to the core across a never ending weekend. Discuss The Archers post-watershed here.

Deluged damp squid or not? And has Peggy been assisted off the mortal coil by Rob yet?
And when will JD and Brian remember Debbie?

Blimey, scrolling through the Who's Who (or 'All Characters' as it is now) on the the BBC Archers webpage really makes you realise who's been missing for yonks!

Ahhh BOOP for Linda's joy at David staying.

Petula !!!! Where have you been? it's lovely to hear from you!!

Am very new on this thread - may I ask please what BOOP means?

hello! i haven't been anywhere as such, but i avoid the thread if i get behind to avoid spoilers (though the archers FB page spoilered freda's death !) so i don't rejoin it until i've managed to catch up

archeryannie (or ado annie as my brain insists on calling you) a BOOP point is a Positive/Enjoyable Thing after bitoutofpractice felt that there was too much negativity on the thread and it was getting her down

Hey Pet (as opposed to Heatherpet). Nice to see you back.

Here's where the BOOPs started Annie.

Thanks, Petula and ZeroFun.

In that case, BOOP indeed for Linda's reaction to David staying.

And Alan's going great guns, too. I like Alan and miss him. Where is Usha?

Well we've heard Usha recently AdoAnnie (I like that name too Pet ) talking to Ruth about her flounce connected with Dave changing his mind about selling Brookfield.

Pet we must be on the same wavelength I LOVE Oklahoma

Brine

Gotta love him. My favourite tassely loafered man

Hahaha Knob.

Ha - yes - I HOPE it's all going to come home to roost soon ...

I've decided that I quite like Charlie. He makes me think of someone who is more than slightly obsessive about stuff and he knows that too.I can imagine him as a boy having an impressive but not shared train set.

What happened? Stuck doing bedtime again!!!

BOOP to Brine with Kate! Bacon sandwich....
Slightly less so in his discussion about the meeting. He's still involved with BL isn't he?
BOOP for Charlie's handling of Knob of that meeting with Rob.
BOOP for Jenny with Kate! (though they really don't need to have Kate whining about her chakras)

And some pleasant proper farmery stuff with David and Adam.

I'm channelling Betty Boop! What a great epi. And the promise of an early morning roll in the poly-tunnels, whoopee!

I want to know who wrote it. A usually when we get good Brian it's Keri Davies but I didn't hear a name at the end tonight.

I agree Toomuch it was a for me.

Hopefully get to hear what happened when Rob got home too. The trouble with turning your girlfriend into a 'housewife' is that she'll probably have seen the post before he has a chance to intercept that letter. OTOH he's been given warning so can think about how to handle it.

Blimey. Polytunnels are signifiers of lurve for Adam, no? But will Charlie do his "come here! go away" act yet again?

That was excellent.

Love the way Charlie's imperturbability served to highlight Rob's increasing flap.

And how stupendous for Adam and Charlie to watch the eclipse together in the morning.

I thought it was a cracker too.

I reckon Rob will tell H nothing and let his wages get docked.

It's Keri Davies this week, according to the Radio Times.

Good to see him back on form - I think he sees Brine as his alter ego
