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

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

Pip fuelled by Lambrini...please save us.

Usha - high flying lawyer
Ifty - Maths teacher, cricketer
Ashok - Engineer, maths genius

Amy's deceased mother - sent to prison long ago?
Pip's best friend at school - definitively of a different class, pregnancy scare.

Don't mind me. Just chuntering to myself ...

It's also quite unclear how Rex knew he was a Maths genius without actually talking to him. Was he wearing a geeky Maths t-shirt? Probably not since he was so amazingly attractive. Did he assume it based on the fact that he works with Alice? Did he overhear him mentioning a really complicated sum as he secretly listened in to his conversation with Pip? Or was he just racially stereotyping?

He was probably wearing some hilarious dickhead maths nerd t-shirt.

Ugh, cringe. I can't near drunk Pip (or sober Pip either). She knows Rex likes her, invites him out, gives him a big kiss then drops him for the new token brown person.

Wasn't this evening dire? The indistinguishable Fairbrethren (do I even care?), Kate/Edwina, Chris Carter's failure to appear at his own party (is he the new silent spouse to replace Frieda?) I feel as though all the plot lines are travelling along parallel tracks at the moment. Nothing links together anymore it's just lots of random incidents - the pilfered chickens, the sub-AbFab shenanigans at Home Farm, the mysterious crack at the Dower House, endless stretches of Pip wittering on - sub-plots which do nothing to contribute the main plot and which are not particularly gripping in themselves.

I've realised that I'm listening so inattentively at 7 that I'm quite surprised by a lot of what's on at 2 the next day. Normally the repeat is an opportunity to examine nuance. Now it's merely an opportunity to try to figure out which fairbro is which :(

No self-respecting maths geek would wear that t-shirt surely as it doesn't make sense (mathematically speaking).

I bow to your superior knowledge D3.

Fink I thought Pip went and asked Alice about him and I'm assuming she came back and told Rex who then spread then word about the woefully stereotyped Bollywood handsome , extremely clever, Asian man.

Pip does seem to be quite promiscuous, Agree about the drunken scene , awful, the way she threw herself at Ashok, after Mathew, she has the Fairbrethren desperate to get into her knickers, she'll have to be careful.

8.34 Today prog. Coercive control. Serious discussion on "the choice to leave" and the need for all concerned bodies to be ready to recognize it.

Has anyone read the latest Lowfield synopsis......
Toby has better things to do than look after hens and goslings, namely work on his promotion film. The usual wooden exchange, akin to the first rehearsal of a school play ensues

I heard that gruach. I think it's unfortunate they used that case though.

Yes lowfield has some good lines!

Lowfield often asks for volunteers to write the synopses.

I think there are several posters here who should offer their services.

What's the Lowfield synopsis?

Lowfield summary

Thanks starfish. I haven't listened to last night and I might give it a miss now. It sounds dreadful.

Grauch, was the CC discussion related to the Ellie Butler murder? I did think of Rob when I read some of the evidence yesterday.

Yes. There was a why? about the child's mother. And how hard it might be to leave.

I thought Pip went and asked Alice about him and I'm assuming she came back and told Rex who then spread then word about the woefully stereotyped Bollywood handsome, extremely clever, Asian man.

Just the sort that farriers hang out with. So not only did Chris's party not have Chris in attendance, it didn't have his friends either - only Alice's.

And remind me not to go to any parties organised by the SW. Do people really stand around discussing poultry and each other's Maths prowess? Don't people normally gossi... no, silly me - this is Ambridge where nobody gossips about anything ever.

Well you were the lucky one to be invited R4 How do you know Chris and his mates weren't sitting in the garden or somewhere?

At least drunk Pip was consistent with sober Pip - and believably annoying. Perhaps she's a better actor than I previously thought. However I can't see why the Fairbrethren fancy her so I'm sticking to my original "enormous breasts" theory.

Can one of the wise ones tell me where Lowfield got its name?

Thanks, Grauch. Appalling case.

Akash not Ashok - misremembered.

Still not pleased.
