Orange Is The New Black in Ambridge. Just ask Helen. But will anyone in The Archers ever ask her WHY?

[PseudoBadger]

I reckon this thread will see us through the Euros, both footy and referendum. Await the clunky topical inserts here.

I think, until the next hearing, Rob hasn't seen Anna in the flesh, though Ursula will have seen her in court. Of course he might have looked her up online but just maybe he'll put his foot in it. She also won't know Henry.

Who does Anna know in the village already? She was/ages with friends with Elizabeth, I think. But do they like each other now?!

Anna is quite conceivably the type of woman Knob would fancy his chances with. That could be interesting.

I must say it pleases me to see that the new baby has two names already, as I predicted weeks ago. But there has to be a POINT - e.g. Henry asking the GPs why they keep calling Gideon Jack. Likewise they have to have an intention in Anna coming to town, not just a SL on old people falling over a lot. And anyway, i always thought carol sounded very sprightly. Anyone could have fallen over that stone. Which reminds em they already had a SL of old man rather the worse for wear falling over and breaking wrist - which led to the the Grundys suing GG and Caroliver.

Am hoping Henry will act strangely with P&T at his next visit. Maybe with a bit of coaxing, he will reveal what Knob has been telling him wishful thinking as ever

Knob is going to go berserk in the witness box isn't he?

He will kick off when they pick him up from school I would imagine

ahhhh!!! so glad for this thread .... in desperate need to vent at the frustrating bloody sl.... why can't Helen bloody tell someone what was happening. I'm fed up/absorbed at the same time as every episode I just want the whole thing to be finished with so we can go back to 'normal' Ambridge life! Robs poisonous words today made my skin crawl too. (will now go back to lurking!)

(please excuse the swearing! opps!)

expat You don't have to ask for absolution for swearing on MN or this thread didn't you notice its title 3, or was it 4, threads ago!!!!???

Your swear word is very small beer in comparison

expat - we use much worse language on here about the delightful Knob and Arseula

I'm normally pretty good with voices but was I the only one struggling to tell the difference between Carole and Ursula last night? I'm not sure they've both been in the same episode before but they sounded so alike in places. Presumably the main hope is that when questioned Henry prefixes everything with "Daddy said that Mummy...".

Many threads ago I said I believed Ursula and Carole were the same person. It came up on one BBC cast list that they are. but nobody believed me

BBC website says Ursula is played by Carolyn Jones, Carol by Eleanor Bron.

Dad I know, we did all this months ago. I just believe Eleanor Bron plays both of them. Just because its the BBC it doesn't mean they are telling the truth.

I found it difficult to differentiate between Carole and Anna for a short while, but no redshoes I can't see\hear any problem with Arse and Carole.

I stopped listening to TA sometime in Jan/Feb, but I'm just parachuting in to let any audiobook or Adam fans know that I have just discovered that the actor who plays him reads 1984 on Audible. It's currently in the 2 for 1 sale.

I have no trouble distinguishing Ursula and Carol at all, largely because Eleanor Bron's voice is so distinctive.

Exactly Gaspode Though she does sound a bit different at the moment maybe because she's acting being in pain?

For the first time I got Ursula and Carol mixed up last night. Just saying.

I've always thought that Ursula was just Carol with shit fitting false teeth.

Go on, Helen! Tell them!

Knob won't like her new hair cut when she appears in court

She needs something radical & assertive.
