Poor poor Henry

I thought when H was told by K that the R had survived she was about to go back in and have another go.
Took K a while to dial 999.

So glad they mentioned the custard. That clears up such an important mystery. I no longer need to wonder whether or not she managed to make the custard before everything kicked off.WTAF?

R def won't like tuna after this.

Helen taken into custardy after Rob gets his just desserts?

So, all that blood which took so long to cover up and Henry's still going 'but daddy's only sleeping!' As soon as Helen's released she's going to need to sort out some sort of medical assessment for that child. I suppose the SWs thought it would be too realistic cruel to have him traumatised, but even so ...

taken into custardy

I also heard Helen say something to Kirsty that sounded like she had INTENDED to kill him.

I still think he will relapse after making a statement about Helen's murderous intent.

Did Helen say Henwee was asleep in bed ?

Oh! You've just reminded me- she had tried to clean up the custard. It's going to look like she was trying to hide the crime

Well since we have time to critique:

"Rob - dead? No, no, he's, er, resting. He's just pining for the Canadian plains. As Helen is taken into custardy, discuss the Archers here."

I can swap out the Python bit for just desserts, what do you think?

First ever request to MN Towers …. this is surely trending/discussion of the day?
C'mon

I found that very hard to listen to, the panic in Helen's voice and poor Tony and Pat having a normal conversation before all hell breaks loose

Helen was hysterical, but it's a shame Kirsty couldn't persuade her think before incriminating herself. However, under the circumstances Kirsty was sensibly going for the least bad option of keeping Rob alive with towels. I wonder if Helen had custard yellow towels or blood red? Tony was the only one thinking like a parent while Patbot obviously thinks that Helen was a bit hormonal and intends to get her locked up for her own good.

Do you really have to cuff a pregnant and emotional woman

would you fancy sitting in a confined space with a highly unpredictable female you dont know from Adam who has just stabbed someone ?

i've sat in the back of a police car with a female murderer who was delusional, even cuffed and my hand on my captor it was scary as fuck

Am relistening. It's on Listen Again already.

Can anything that Helen said while hysterical and in shock be used as evidence?

Re: Henry's acting - Louiza Patikas has previously said that she and Tim Watson don't meet the actor who plays Henry, he records his lines separately. That would explain why he sounded so wierdly calm, but on the plus side does mean that they are not exposing him to all the trauma of hearing what's being played out around him.

If she was cautioned

This thread will be full in an hour

and still not trending . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Surely Helen's shock is going to precipitate the birth?

Taken into custardy Brilliant Pseudo

I am sooooo relieved that Kirsty didn't have to give Rob mouth to mouth. I was worried about that.

Did Pat sound more concerned about Knob than her heavily pregnant daughter?

Rob's going to owe Kirsty his life! How's she going to cope with the knowledge that she saved him?
