Out, damned SOC! Out I say! When will Ambridge be free? Discuss The Archers here

[PseudoBadger]

A once-great soap is going down the Beverley drain.

Hinting at the Murdstones and David Copperfield, I feel

Oh yes, indeed it was.

Yes as I said upthread a very heavy handed hint, esp. including the thunderstorm, at what's in store for poor little Henry. Maybe he'll run away to Pat n'Tony's?

I've been out all day. Amazed to see there hasn't been a single post on this thread since the film!

Anyway, glancing at Twitter, I see this is the final tweet from the Plarchers today.

eh, where is everyone?

surprised not to get anything about access visits today. no fall out from the thunderstorm then.

cricket teas and farming.

cricket teas and farming.

... Just as it should be.

yes it was lovely.

especailly as there was no smooching and slurping either.

Why don't they ever seem to look for cricket team recruits amongst the female half of the village? After all, they have women playing in the single wicket competition.

I suspect that will finally dawn on Harrison. And he'll probably ask Pip because she can resist and pretend she doesn't want to at all, then ultimately give in and pretend she's doing it on her own terms...

Re. Friday's - waving not a problem, but don't you dare was obviously signalling trouble ahead!

Last night was fine and would have been even better without Rex talking about This Girl I Like.

Why don't they ever seem to look for cricket team recruits amongst the female half of the village?

There have been discussions about women not being allowed to play, because Pip would be keen. Possibly Adam and Alistair or one of those with David at the start of this season, when they were bemoaning the lack of players (Rob, Tom, etc.)

Isn't there a whole estate in the village that must have some cricketers?

Argy that's exactly what Pip would do

cricket teas and farming.

... Just as it should be.

It was a lovely episode.

It would be good if, during the course of a day at the show, Adam could let fall a few words about the abusive behaviour towards Helen and Henry from Knob that he and Ian witnessed.

Oh Lord! So much for my ignoring MN to concentrate on RL ... The BBC thinks Emma is Pip's most significant friend. To my knowledge they have never exchanged one single word.

Guess they Googled and misunderstood what they read.

That's really weird. As far as I can see she doesn't have any friends on the village and she strikes me as thinking too much of herself to associate with Emma tbh

I guess they both like brothers but what else do they have in common

Emmur doesn't return the favour on her page. Not surprising, considering that they aren't friends.
Do you think that it's one of these deliberate errors that they put in to catch people out? Like map-makers do.

I think everyone's on holiday so they had the intern cobble that page together in anticipation of the Fairbaby.

It's so ridiculous - Pip and Emma are at entirely different life stages, with different goals and absolutely nothing in common. How could they allow such nonsense to be published? (It's surely not a premature statement of some future plan?)

Emma will be advising pip on the best way to deal with two brothers. Cos Emma handled it all so well

• Or perhaps specifically what to do with two brothers when you don't know which is the father of your child?

Even if it were that - they have no right to mess with known facts for the purpose of bamboozling new listeners.

Well it seems to be becoming a habit

Why don't P & T get proper advice and not just listen to Rob? My RL friend had issues with holidays and unreasonable ex. Had to pay but judge immediately saw it for what it was - control- and of course gave her permission. Ex with flee in his ear.

And there goes Pat- talking directly to Rob without witnesses again. Where is their solicitor?

Also loving the continuity announcers lately.
