Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat, please put a penny in Joe Grundy's hat. Discuss The Archers here.

Ho ho ho! Will this thread last until Christmas?

Hah! In your eye, Rob

Cup runneth over.

Knob showing his true colours. And Debbie was excellent too. In fact one of the visiting sons even remarked he enjoyed TA tonight. I'll convert him yet.

Double BOOM and douple BOOP points for Debbie and Iain/Adam. To quote my Weegie mate, 'that was him telt'.

That was magnificent, Debbie and Ian against Rob.

BraIn really should listen to Debbie.

Aye, so it wiz, Dr2. The acting was all topnotch too. I am looking forward to the film on Sunday. I hope it's at the usual time. (I had to explain the term 'film' in relation to TA to a son today. He gave me the look. Whose auntie was it who used to say this??) Several BOOPS indeed.

DoctorTwo So they 'gave him his character', did they? I look forward to hearing that.

Oh Debbie, you wonderful woman.

Warm lager is all Knob deserves.

Having Tom tell Kirsty he would stand by her side while talking about the play is another heavy-handed hint as it then explains why she is so flustered.

who is Debbie and where has she just sprung from?

Start here Grumpy.

Love the way that for Brian, Jill's views are "getting her oar in", i.e not valid because they contradict his. As for shushing Debbie! so glad she got back at him straight away. Also the way he minimised Justin's expressed interests in Debbie's proposal, while on all other occasions, he's the dog's bollocks.

Luurrve the crushing of Rob by Debbie. More please.

Listening on iPlayer. Go Debbie!

I did wonder if Debbie was planning a bit of gentle blackmail to persuade Justin of the parcelling idea

Go Ian too!

Love the way that for Brian, Jill's views are "getting her oar in

Do you mean Peggy?

Go Debbie. God love that woman!

I just caught up on iPlayer.

Ver satisfying Debbie scene, I did a mini first pump

That was the TA early xmas present to loyal listeners, wasn't it?

But Rob is now going to be very motivated to find ways to do down the Home Farm lot.

Listened tonight in the car driving home. There was a giant HA! when Debbie put Knob straight back in his box. Loved the glass clink at the end of her (very calm and understated) verbal demolition job. So pleased she's here for a couple of weeks. And Ian was magnificent too, standing by his man in no uncertain terms - welcome back "The Archers' we know and love.
BOOP BOOP BOOP.

Ver satisfying Debbie scene, I did a mini first pump

Oh me too. Boop boop Debbie.

Just caught up. Oh boop, boop, boop, Debbie , Ian and Adam.

Knob is sounding more and more demented.

The acting quality also stood out for me. It was a great episode.

Just adding my BOOPs for Debbie. It's good to had her back. Also for her putting Brian back in his box when he suggested that Ruari might have anything useful to add about the land purchase.

And yes, definitely something amiss with Kirsty
