My favourite comment on the Roy/Lizzie thing was Phoebe describing her as a middle-aged tart.

BYOSnowman · 04/01/2016 18:57

Freddie was involved in vandalism, drugs and general bad eggedness but all stopped immediately once he'd made up with his mum and she'd stopped shagging Roy

BYOSnowman · 04/01/2016 18:57

And there was the stupidly obvious plot device of sending Freddie to Roy's house to return his token of love.

Waiting ...

poor Clarrie

GypsyFl0ss · 04/01/2016 19:15

Hahahaha Charlie would have liked some of Adam's perspicacity in him too Grin

Gruach · 04/01/2016 19:16

19.13 on my radio. 19.14 on my phone. Finished.

Confused

What da ...?

Gruach · 04/01/2016 19:17

Triple BOOP for a wonderful episode!

R4 · 04/01/2016 19:20

He's a sharp one, that Justin. He knows that Charlie is a characterless, charisma-free Bot. I shan't miss him.

GypsyFl0ss · 04/01/2016 19:22

No no no Charlie is lovely, he just needs a good seeing to man!

Tickets for the archers conference now available.

Hopefully someone from here can go and report back

FloraDiesEarly · 04/01/2016 19:30

Maybe the SWs created Charlie as quite a boring, stats and business-focused 2D character who harangued Adam etc and it was only when listeners said Charlie and Adam had chemistry that they decided they would go down that route and so they had to try and flesh him out a bit but it hasn't worked very well. A bit like the SWs not originally intending for Rob/Helen to go down the path they have. (I do like Charlie by the way)

Gruach · 04/01/2016 19:38

I must say I had rather hoped Charlie would be offered a reprieve and the chance to work erm ... under Adam.

Who's going to be thrilled anyway.

Loved Clarrie's Patek Philippe moment.

Not so much Jenny carefully explaining Phoebe's relationship to Home Farm for the benefit of new listeners.

JessieMcJessie · 04/01/2016 19:41

God Clarrie is a right bloody moan! Whining on about GF being too nice!

BitOutOfPractice · 04/01/2016 19:43

I have tickets for the conference Grin

WipsGlitter · 04/01/2016 19:48

What happened at GF tonight?

FiveShelties · 04/01/2016 20:11

OK - I have to ask - what is BOOP? Confused

PseudoBadger · 04/01/2016 20:16

Did Justin really say he'd like to have seen a bit of Adam in Charlie?! GrinBlush

Not heard today (will catch up!) but wasn't Roy referred to as a hairy toed hobbit by Frilly after the affair was discovered?

Here's the relevant thread FiveShelties. It should be bookmarked to the first post but if not go right to the beginning and read the first 30 odd posts.

CuttedUpPear · 04/01/2016 20:37

I must say Clarrie's consternation about the naice floors at Grange Farm was about a fortnight too late. It's not as if Eddie would have only now started coming in from the fields all mucky.
