The Archers - We Listen So You Don't Have To

[PseudoBadger]

Happy(?!) Sunday everyone

What will this week have in store for us I wonder?

😁😁 Small legs

I too keep saying I will -leave- stop listening, but keep coming back for more.

Rebecca - I think SOC mentioned he might come back in the FB interview?

We don't need to hear Henry to talk about the stabbing, we need to hear him talking about the more insidious things Rob doubtless told him. And possibly things he overheard Rob saying to Helen.

Yes margie

Or maybe debates about whether the bed in Lynda's Sheperd's Hut is going to the big or strong enough for an amorous encounter.

MOMO, we had an episode where Eddie was trying to find out Lynda's weight to make sure the hut's bed was up to the job. If the "job" involves two people on the bed then presumably it will fail given Eddie's corner-cutting. Is that the kind of discussion you were after?

So Rob is out of danger?

Peggy does my head in.

Pat's doing my head in.
Where's Tony: why isn't he speaking to Anna Barrister, too?

With whose money Peggy?

And a limo ride on country roads and for a long distance must be uncomfortable?

Or do they define limo differently to me!

Peggy arghhhhh! You're a narrow minded twit!

Prison cell, or limo with Knob... ?

I hope she's got the wit to keep her trap shut in front of pat

With grandparents like Piggoi, who needs enemies?

What an utterly useless grandmother Peggy is. Throwing her money around again made things worse for Helen - and now she's on the wrong side.

Christ Peggy is a poisonous misogynist. I've always forgiven her for her anti-women rants but no more.

I now hope that she dies slowly and painfully at the hands of one of auntie cardboard's ginger biscuits.

So Piggoi, Rob is lovely and it isn't possible that a man you barely know cpuld be abusive thetefore your grandaughter, whim you have kniwn her entire life, must have knifedhim in an unprovoked attack

Although Pat's 'she wouldn't hurt a fly' also flies in the face of the evidence

Piggoi is a cow.

Just coming on to comment about Piggy's view of what happened - but see it's already been done. Yes Piggy, your granddaughter stabbed her husband for absolutely no reason at all, he must be a good husband because he made huge flamboyant gestures (using your money, mind)

I expect Rob is much better, out of intensive care, and plotting and scheming with his parents, bigging himself up and ensuring that he is the victim in all of this. I dread to think what's going to happen when Lynda sits firmly on her pasting table for the first time. A table like that might bear the weight of a 20kg bag of chicken food, but really not much more.
Helen, I think will be absolutely fine. A family member, on the other hand, being male, and having been beaten by his wife, and experiencing her abuse of their childen, will not be ok. the children will not be ok. They are either prison or psychiatric ward, or compost fodder. Sadly there is very little support for men who are abused by women. It happens.

I was hoping the limousine was waiting for Rob's hearse

Pat is acting like an utter dimwit. She seems to think that she can rock up to the Court and offer a defence of "she's my daughter and therefore must be innocent". Get some braincells moving Pat.

Haven't listened for a few days, sounds like tonight's episode would of wound me right up! All my least favourite people in one. Wish Peggy would pop her clogs tbh.

Just not in the mood for TA this week, fed up of it all looking so bleak for Helen and Henry and everyone acting like twats. Suppose I will catch up at some point

I'm a little surprised that Helen isn't allowed to see Henry under supervision. Wouldn't that be allowed, given that it would be in his interests and supervision would presumably be an adequate safeguard against her talking to him about his evidence?

If the possibility of interference were a serious concern, I would have thought the prosecution should be equally worried about Pat and Tony, but they've presumably decided Henry's interests outweigh those concerns.

If we are looking at Peggy taking Rob on like a son against TonyPat Helen, for the next 10 years I am going to emigrate.

I don't want Peggy to pop her clogs. I want June Spencer to still be acting when she gets to 100 (only three-and-a-bit years to go!).

I am cross, I will sit in this small huff in the corner, and mutter.

Ahem

I am still muttering unintelligibly here - with no clue as to content or purpose. And getting cramp ...
