Never mind the yoghurt - who is making the Sterling Gold?!

BYOS

Henry 'he wos a mean man who made my mummy cwy'

now if they were to really jump the shark (as if they haven't already) they could contrive some sort of hunting accident- a seriously injured Rob, face scratched by brambles, reaches out for Henry

'you'll...fetch...hhhhelp....for DADDY.

Won't you. Henry.

....HENRY?'

Ursula, the villain

What happpened to R4?

I presume you mean the radio station, not me. It went down around 9am (and there was an earlier hiccough) and was a bit unnerving. I was waiting for the nuclear strike.

I didn't hear it re-appear. Rather than lie in bed any further I've had a hard week, OK? and listen to nothingness, I got up and started the day. I presumed it was something to do with over-excitement about reporting EU negotiations and getting their wires in a tangle.

Yo know you've over invested in TA when it's taken you 3 hours to drive 75 miles to get home at 1am, but you immediately check this thread and switch on iPlayer to catch up before you can go to sleep.

Stickerrocks that is for showing the right level of dedication to this thread

The only interestIng thing about Ursula is that it's going to delay Kirsty saving the day, because she currently thinks Ursula is wonderful. This would work better if it felt more feasible that Ursula and Rob would actually be plotting together.

Quick question- did they show the Ian/Adam valentines tiff on the show? I feel like I missed it!

Ursula doesn't need to be in on it though for that to happen. The ea is just as unacceptable whether or not the mil is lovely or a schemer

Three hours to do 75 miles!
above and beyond.

The conversation between Robert and Urs. could've gone like this;

Rob ; "Oh mum when you come up, you know that Hell doesn't need to be over stimulated,due to her ill health. So could you just keep an eye on her, esp. watch Kirsty who's too excitable with her acting and working in the health club etc.."

Urs. Yes darling of course.

I'm trying to be fair here

So what would the right type of friend for Helen be?

Because I would imagine it is no friend so ursulas opinion of kirstybis largely irrelevant

Do we know who Sarah is?

I assumed that Sarah is the mother of Rowan , a little friend of Henry's from school?

I think Sarah is the friend Helen used to do shared childcare with.

Could be Gaspode

So she's ok to be a friend?

I think we're thinking of the same person, ppeat. Sarah had Henry with Rowan for half the week and Helen then returned the favour. Does anybody else remember? They're probably in the same class at school now, so any recent mention might have been to do with school.

As to whether Sarah is OK to be a friend, well, she's very quiet. I've never heard her or Rowan speak. That's probably a plus point in Rob's eyes!

They shut part of the M3, the diversion took us around the M25 one way, doubled back on ourselves and then back to where we started. There was a convoy of half a dozen cars all doing the same thing. Gave up on that one, then our alternative route on A31 was also shut and the M27 was partially closed. The Archers and the fact my rugby team narrowly won were the only redeeming features of the whole night.

Back to TA, Sarah has been a silent character for years. Maybe the first time we will hear her speak (like Freda) will be as Rob looms over her with a carving knife.

Sarah's silence would make her an appropriate friend, unlike Fallon, Kirsty and Emma, who are all too common and have opinions.

I was fully expecting Arsula to end her call to Knob with "mwahahahahaha..." as she put the phone down. What a load of complete tosh bordering on bollocks.

More Twitter news: Philip Pullman wasn't impressed -

With Ursula evil too, @BBCTheArchers is becoming almost Gothic. Editors, be careful! If you abandon realism, it's less frightening.

I like the way he avoids laying the blame at any one person's door.

Well if Phillip Pullman thinks it they should definitely take note!

Anyone able to answer my question about Adams V Day card? It's driving me mad!!

I don't believe Adam and Ian were on or mentioned and this is the first we have heard

Must say I know very few adults who send anonymous v cards to their crushes. Actually I don't know any

Thanks BYOS and have to agree on the cards. Don't think I'd like it myself, bit childish.
