All we hear is Radio Carter - come and gossip about The Archers here

R4 - I'm not new to MN - I've been here over a decade. I NC regularly. I've been on The Archers threads for a long time - enjoy them very much - but I'll call out nasty, ageist remarks when I see them.

Spot on mootsie!!!

I'm finding the Jill so irritating. I'm really glad she is stepping out of the kitchen but I wish she wasn't being made into this social warrior.

Has Jill got form for worrying about hungry strangers? The way she talks you'd think she'd been volunteering amongst them for years rather than doing a couple of shifts before they were kicked out.

"Pregnant" cows?? Never heard it called anything but "in calf"

Mootsie
I'm enjoying the new Jill - freed at last from the shackles of flapjack making and the tyranny of the teacup. Long may this last.

Goodness - that was a breathless episode! Rush, rush, rush ... Really different sound and tone to the usual Archers.

Interesting.

"Pregnant"cows?? Never heard it called anything but"in calf"

But you do PDS. (Pregnancy diagnoses.)

PDs. Autocorrect

Puggsville Iam old and there are people 20 to 30 years younger than me who wear false teeth. It affects their speech.

What about Ursula's false teeth sss? No-one complained of ageism then!

Just think if Phil the j.p. had been alive when Jill threw the offensive flapjack then it could have been divorce and now a smaller Brookfield could be a bee sanctuary and drop-in soup kitchen/food bank.

Thesingingtoad - I didn't like it but kept quiet because she was so awful

I do like pp description of Jill sounding like she's been pinched on the posterior mid sentence 😁

Well ursula really did sound like she had false teeth in. Either that or she constantly has a werthers original in her mouth

Mystic Bore™ predicts...

Smugula will LTB and, in the fullness of time, take up with Oliver.

What's happening with Alistair? What is it that Shula is worried is 'happening again'?

Christ, Shula really is thick as two short ones, isn't she? "Talk to me, oh, talk to me!', then flounces off to call Kenton (that well-known reservoir of wisdom) rather than, er, listen to her husband. Pity poor Oliver if he does end up with that pious slug - I imagine that would be a particular version of hell after fun-luvvin' Caroline.

Really disliking Joe and the Grundy machinations at the moment. Have they always been presented as these low-browed, low-intellect, crafty schemers and skivers, or has it got worse?

What is it that Shula is worried is 'happening again'?

That he will give in to his gambling addiction, aided and abetted by Matt Crawford as previously.
We know Alistair is stressed because he swore.

(Sorry, just an aside - this thread is not showing in either my "I'm on" or my "watched threads".......anyone else having this problem?)

(Nor is it showing in Radio Addicts board, for me! It's invisible! Anyone else experiencing this??)

Sorry to say but it's you. All three fine for me.

@SealSong you may have hidden it - I've posted on your thread in Site Stuff how to check and get it back if that's what you've done.

Many thanks Bore! . Was indeed the problem.

In case people are interested and haven't seen, the Third Academic Archers conference, is a one-day er, 17th February 2018, British Library, London.

Early Bird tickets at £70 are available until the end of November, and after that, £85 (includes all catering).

Swearing.......on the Archers.......swoons.
I was only thinking the other day that it must be the only program that can stage a fracas without a 'f**k' being uttered.

@Bore - I said exactly the same to DH earlier re Shugs and Oliver.

On the subject of swearing, did anyone here listen to the R4 prog last night about 18th century pornography? Lots of csand fs which sounded rather funny when read out in R4 RP. It went out at 8pm as well!
