Quelle surprise! Rob hasn't FOTTFSOF and is in fact hiding in the bushes at Henwee's school. Discuss the latest unlikely Archers events here.

What do we want?
Realistic storylines!
When do we want them?
As soon as the writers see this!

I thought Pip, Borsetshire's finest cow woman, was top woman at the Single Wicket. I say "top", possibly the only woman. She must be fit though, what with all the bale lifting and shagging she gets up to.

Shit, delete that Olivia, please! I don't want the SW to read it and give her even "mm-ORE" (as Pip would say) airtime.

Jenny has always compromised. That's why she's still with Brian. And I'm certain Matt was unfaithful - He was with Yvette when he got together with Lilian.

Not heard tonights - has it just occurred to Harrison that women can play cricket too !!!!

Harrison comes across as a right misery guts

And of course pip will be the winning cricketer - does she do anything badly? Oh, yes, she can't act

Brian saying to Jenny basically 'let her have her affair, she's having fun' when he is a serial cheater was odd

Brian thinks it's ok to cheat and doesn't believe people get really hurt, because Jenny let him get away with it and accepted whatever compromise was offered. She has some very nice jewellery, as well as Ruari.

I still don't think he would say something so crass directly to her though. I'd expect him to not want to really talk about it!

Oh yes, the marvellous new cricketing sensation is going to be Pip but I have a sneaky wish that it's Helen so that Henry can see his mother play brilliantly.

I agree with you, Anti. But it was Jenny who wanted to go to the dinner to cover up Justin's affair. Brian wasn't too keen!

That's true. I don't really buy the way Jenny is acting tbh.

I'm not sure pip is patient enough to play cricket.

I absolutely hate Anisha. More than anyone else. Even Toby. Am I supposed to?

I absolutely hate Anisha. More than anyone else. Even Toby. Am I supposed to?
Me too. Don't know. Possibly. I think she's going to bankrupt Alastair.

Presumably, even in Archersworld, no bank is going to lend them that sort of money? And surely the insurance pay out would have upgraded the stuff

Presumably Shula and Alastair are of the age where they won't have a mortgage?

No bank in the real world is going to offer a 1/4 of a million unsecured loan.

Didn't they have to take out a mortgage to cover Alistair's gambling debt or have I misremembered how they dealt with that.

Harrison sounded different from usual. Has another actor taken over?

The the website still shows the same actor - I thought he sounded different too, but like the same actor emphasising an accent more maybe. Perhaps they're trying to make the northerners more easily distinguishable (imo they are anyway but some southerners seem to have difficulty )

I didn't recognise Harrison. I was wondering why Alan was organising the cricket team.

I was wondering why Dr Locke was managing the cricket team. ...

Yes, I detected traces of Dr. Locke too.

Another who was muddled by Harrison. I listened late last night, might have to try again this morning.

If Pip were on the team, every time they were losing she'd declare that she couldn't cope with it and strop off.

Surely the button girls must be old enough to play cricket soon?

God that was a terrible episode. I'm not sure about Anisha either. A few weeks ago I asked Keri on twitter if we're supposed to like Pip, he said 'We just put her out there. Your response is your affair '
