Knob throttlers form an orderly queue at Blossom Hill Cottage! Discuss the Archers on the Official Thread

[PseudoBadger]

Do you know that I was 3 months pregnant when the first thread started - DD was 2 yesterday

That must also mean that Poppy Grundy's 2nd birthday has passed by unremarked upon...

it's almost like the person who comes up with the rhythm of the SL also came up with Footballers Wives

oh, wait

Still ... if it brings Charlie out all flustered and grieving and needing a hug ...

Did I mention he needed a hug?

I love the way that ahem, some of us (including me), are falling over Charlie. Not only is he fictional (look away now if you didn't want to know this) but he is on the radio! Still yes, I think I should give him a hug and thanks for volunteering me!

Well you can volunteer for the back of the queue ...

group hug?

Charlie 4 Helen (& Henry)

After Rob gets his comeuppance of course...

isn't he gay?

Bi maybe...?

No way, TheOne, Charlie can do so much better than Helen! I love it when he gets all masterful.

Haven't listened yet but gather botulism is the cause (and my prediction was wrong!) A similar scenario happened on a farm in Wales last year.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-27507978

is that wishful thinking!

can you imagine being lumbered with Helen!!

only suggested dfw - rigid legs seemed to be mentioned

looks like they have copied that article though!!

Why do we like Charlie? He's a complete twat

It's got to be Knob's fault surely. Otherwise it's an entirely pointless SL (unless Adam saves the day or something).

I thought the MW had the measure of Knob actually. Whoever said that Hellin sounds flat about the pregnancy is bang on the money. She doesn't sound at all excited. Just apprehensive. And running off to the loo at times when he's being 'masterful'.

I quite like the idea of Calendar Girls. At least there's some comedy already written in, rather than having to shoehorn it into the panto like usual.

Whatever is wrong with the cows it wil be Knob's fault. Knob's obviously been putting it about that he resigned - not that he was about to be sacked.

Botulism caused by Stefan's rotting corpse which is concealed about the place?

I am just a lurker on this thread, but was just about to dive in and suggest what PseudoBadger said! Stefan's rotten corpse, Knob will for to prison for ever.....

(wishful thinking)

I feel anxious now whenever I hear Rob's voice of concern.....

(knot in stomach)

(will go to prison forever..... augh to random auto correct!)

oh i don't know - what do you get for murder these days? 5 years?

Ooh I like that! Knob can't die - otherwise it makes Hellin look a bit careless with her choice of partners. But carted off to the nick, that would work

Do we think Hellin is going to let Knob go through with the parental responsibility lark that he was going on about?

Terrible thought - are they going to produce a naked Archers calendar to go with the show?

Surely they were either winding Susan up or got the wrong end of the stick? Can't imagine Lynda suggesting anything so low-brow!

BOOP for Joe: 'you ain't distracting me with the prospect of some titty...titter...titivation'

And I realised tonight I've got a crush on Neil, even if he is old enough to be my dad so solid and dependable, and a lovely warm, rich voice.

It's not lowbrow, is it? Middlebrow, yes, but there's a very worthy theme to it all. It's not near nudity for the sake of near nudity.

GruntledOne, I do hope you're wrong about that. My mum always buys me an Archers calendar for Christmas. I don't want naked TA characters grinning at me from the kitchen wall all year. [smelling salts emoticon]

DFW could you fill us in on the causes of botulism?
