He's behind you! Rob's not the messiah - he's a very naughty boy! Watch The Archers pantomime here.

[PseudoBadger]

Oh no he isn't! Oh yes he is!

Well maybe Charlie will go. Justin will re-hire Rob, then it will all go disastrously wrong - and Charlie can come back (the actor having done a stint in DR Who or whatever...).

Cried at last night's. Hurrah for Oliver.

EdnEmmur will call the baby Oliver Joseph and Ollie will be thrilled.Joe sadly will be dead.

I think Charlie should meet someone else. Maybe Matthew?
Or Rob's gay brother. That would be

anything Come of Rex telling pip he liked her?
When did this happen? (I am clearly thinking I listen to the podcast but actually sleeping)

SmallLegs I missed it too. I often find during TA that I think Oh - what if that happened? And then wake up again and find it has all Moved On and I have not moved with it.

In lowfield it says he tried to tell her but medical team interrupted- so I guess she is still oblivious

(Answered my own question!)

De-lurking as I was tearfully peeling spuds this morning listening to the podcast. I've only been listening since the beginning of the year and have become very fond of Joe and Bartleby and the ferrets. They couldn't kill him off yet surely? I'd love someone to kill off Knob. I suspect Henwy is going to be ignored by him when his real son is born. Perhaps Henwy could shove him down the stairs in a jealous tantrum.

Love the idea of Knob's brother being gay.

Well this is all very nice and heart-warming but what's going to happen when Caroline and Oliver sell Grange Farm to Justin Elliot??

Oooh !!! But we expected it didn't we? We can all have a merry Xmas now hooray . Bon Noel to you all I'm lurking from now on 'cos off to your neck of the woods for the festivities.!!!

Pip and Rex were waiting in A&E to be seen, she was grumbling about Toby showing off and being a twat (I paraphrase). Rex said Toby wasn't the only one who liked her and was called in. He was a bit flustered and Pip said she'd still be there when he came out, the implication being that they'd carry on the conversation then.
I'm actually in agreement with David re Pip and the Fairbros. Brookfield is two men down and she's fannying about plucking geese for another 'farm' when her family business is going down the pan.

What's Italy like in winter?

No surprises says Ian.

ha!

So Liz lock is a go then. Did anyone predict it? Oh yes - of course!

Charlie wants him to move to Scotland - bad move Charlie - should have offered Canada

That'll be Elizabeth and Richard shagging in the Orangery by next week then

Oh god - another one.

And he sounds too old - he makes we think of Timothy west

what is Ian going to overhear...
I'd settle for Canary Islands if anyone is offering

Ii guess Ian is hiding round the corner

I remember when the Grundys lost Grange Farm. It was very upsetting and I seem to recall there was much ill feeling that it had only been done as a sensationalist device. (Though how on earth we communicated that to one another in the days before social media, heaven only knows).

I have felt grumpy about them being booted out for the audience figures ever since it happened.

So I'm really glad they are back there and I don't care how ridiculous the plot is that is needed to keep them there.

The one person in the world I'd miss TA for facetimed half an hour ago; I've missed seven minutes

Sounds stupendous tonight.

Oh no - they are dragging out Ian finding out

And another non-surprise re Ruth

And what other ways is Ruth seeing Ray work....

St Smugula is going to go ballistic

hahahahahahahahaha

Oh Ian. Saying you don't want any surprises, when SOC's in charge. You're doomed to misery.

And Charlie, you deserve so much better than Adam. Find someone who will treat you properly, with respect, and discuss things like an adult, not all that pathetic subject-changing and walking away. Adam will just fling you on the scrapheap when someone else catches his eye.

(Never thought I'd say that about Adam - I actually quite like him, but he's being a shit to both Ian and Charlie.)

Who on god's green earth is Ray?

So, adam has STRONG feelings for Charlie

And looks like we'll have another LocksFest (see what I did there?)

Isn't Ray David's Kiwi farmer friend who came over years ago?
