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.

Toby's definitely married.

ppeat yes, I said it was Prokofiev. Sincere apologies to Teeny and anyone else who now has an ear-worm that will stay with them for days

Not only that, it's given me that sodding awful Greg Lake Christmas song on the brain!

I'd forgotten that, Seek

OH GOD THE SNOG!!

I had to cover my ears.

Loved the episode though :)

Thanks Grauch, yep Jill's face will just about make the snog bearable.

hopefully anything else they will do in private

Right who wants to take bets on whether the snog was a 'hand kiss' or 'mouth to mouth' ? Also will it be 'followed through'. ?

Thanks EBear :)

Money is on Toby having a Brighton baby and a divorce in progress.

I only meant there was a glimpse of Toby being more normal in that one episode. On all other occasions he's been a right twat

How many times do we have to tell them, NO RADIO SNOGGING, or groaning, or yelps of well.....anything, and definitely NO squelching.

I don't think I can stomach listening on catch up after reading all these comments! Maybe I should stay blissfully ignorant!

Also NO "PASSIONATE" HEAVY BREATHING.

I use quote marks because Pip actor's idea of how to act passion actually bears no resemblance whatsoever to genuine passion.

Dead Ringers again!

What has happened to Helens psychiatric care? From needing an emergency appointment to suddenly not need any. Weird.

So Miranda is a walking stereotype. And she sounds like she's doing an impression rather than proper acting.

At least that was more like it though. That's two episodes on a row that haven't been so bad!

And the innuendo isn't as bad as we've had inflicted on us in recent months

Like Helen would win. These events never give an attempted murderer a prize.

Loved Dead Ringers!

Not loving them all sniggering behind Miranda's back though. I know she is an unpleasant caricature but she is the one whose husband is cheating on her and Jenny knows and clearly thinks it's all hilarious.

Does Jenny know? Have I missed something?

No I don't think Jenny knows.
Anti-Boop

Jenny was giving heavy hints that she knew why Lil was on tip-top form - maybe she doesn't realise that it's Justin who is her latest paramour though

But we know and still the SL's wrote it so that Lil and Justin are laughing at Miranda - all that Wimbledon stuff. Didn't like it.

Yes Jenny definitely knows it's Justin from the comments she made to pat

Whilst the laughing wasn't nice it is typical Lillian and I took it more as her teasing Justin.

Jenny joining in is more uncomfortable given the number of times she has been in Miranda's position

Oh. Wow. Best episode of the year. I absolutely loved that (feeble lady-barrister notwithstanding). Of course Helen wouldn't have won in RL - but it was so lovely that she did. Boop boop da boop!

Just shows, yet again, that TASWAMA

Lillan would get her arse handed to her if she posted on Relationships

I guess ...

So does Miranda still not know that Lilian owns the Dower House? Or have the SWs forgotten that it's a fairly crucial bit of information?

I don't think she does, Gruach. I think she assumes Lillian is Justin's Ambridge social secretary/PA.

Helen winning is not a BOOP, it is arrant nonsense. We all know, from the Food Programme, that judges go out into the field to check that all is above board interview nominees. It would become clear that Helen is being kept at Her Majesty's pleasure and they would run a mile from the controversy.
No way would she get an award.

The "Brian and Tony are getting the drinks in" excuses for absences are getting silly.

Harrumph.
