If The Archers characters were acted by dogs, Rob would be a Shih Tzu. Discuss Ambridge events here.

Avoided a non-sweary title.

Ah yes, Traceee is the tart!

Now that all's well and harmonious in Brookfield complete with icky Toby and Pip in bed (with flapjacks) our life together is so lovely speech ... how long before Jill is vindicated, Pip realises what an utter loser Toby is, and the whole thing goes terribly wrong?! Can't be more than a couple of weeks tops. Doom. The end is nigh (hopefully).

Yeah, you'd think they could get the sink lowered so she could sit to wash up, clean the veg and stuff. In my life the Ben equivalent would have his game taken away till the dishes were done. Josh to help maybe.

I'd forgotten about Peggy and Jill chatting. That was quite a nice scene.

They take their lead from their parents! God forbid Jill should suggest it!

There seemed to be rather a lot of foreshadowing at the end of that episode.

I agree, rather thumping conclusions, heavily underlined by Toebee's silence.

I can do with the realism, but actually hearing the flapjacks being noshed by the loving couple turned my stomach.

I was more disturbed by David and Ruth, I was driving dc back from Beavers and thought I was going to have to switch off as I assumed they were about to get down to it.

and if she wants to be comfortable in her own home

Which reminds me - didn't David and Ruth have an agreement whereby they paid Phil and Jil a pension out of the farm? To enable them to retire and be independent. Slightly curious about how that's all working out.

I just watched Eastenders, and I think I just saw Justin Elliott at the end???

Did anyone else see it?

Yep. That was Justin

Was Rob with him ?

Somebody should tell Helen.

Oh ffs an entire Brookfield episode. Thank goodness for the iplayer fast forward button.

OMG you are right

Pip at the end made me think of Kathy Bates and Misery. You're trapped now boy.

When the others wash up, I expect they do it all wrong and put it away in all the wrong places in Jill's Brookfield's kitchen.

I prefer to do my own washing up - and my DM, who is Jill's age, would do it standing up with a broken ankle. (She is made of stern stuff!)

I just realised if Rex is Taxi driving it adds a whole load of dramatic possibilities! So I bet the scriptwriters really want to do that one!

Well now Jill's come round I should think it's only a matter of days before we find out what happens in Brighton.

Yup. I'm actually feeling a little sorry for Tobes.

This ^. I don't like people 'helping' either. If someone does it for me I usually have to do it again and my daughter is the same as me.

My mother used to help by washing half of it, badly, then leaving the rest and it drove me mad. My ancient dad now lets the dog lick the plates and rinses them under the tap.

Understandable, if you have invited guests who don't know where anything goes, and you want them to have a relaxing dinner at yours. Completely unacceptable if you've cooked a celebratory meal for your own (resident) family and they leave all the subsequent clearing up to you!

Does Josh's website come from the same genius that created Helen's innovative organic baby food.
A quick google tells me that he is up against AutoTrader's farm division but I'm sure that he will be buying them out in a few years.

ref. Jill's damascene conversion in favour of Tobee. IMO and E it's unrealistic to have a nearly 90 year old who is able to listen to and act with reason. I have tried for years to get my mother to change her mind about my brother's girlfriends, regardless of how pleasant they are she hates them. She's even worse now. It's difficult, we can never have an 'all partners' gathering
