Thank you, @PseudoBadger, for kicking off this long, long series of Archers threads.

Archers All views on The Archers welcome here! New blood welcomed. We don't all agree on all points and most of us are posting tongue in cheek a lot of the time, so don't worry about revealing that you’d love to be in the Mysteries, or other unusual views. Grin

Archers Spoilers: not on this thread, please. We don't wait for the omnibus to discuss the weeknight episodes, but we do try our best to avoid cross-contamination from www.mumsnet.com/Talk/radio_addicts/3853783--The-Archers-spoilers-thread-5-Cant-wait-for-7-02pm-Join-us-here, where spoilers are positively welcomed!

Archers For newer listeners, lurkers or those who just have no idea what we're talking about, @DadDadDad has created this useful thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/radio_addicts/3557323-For-Archers-fans-a-guide-to-acronyms-on-the-long-running-discussion-threads-and-any-other-meta-thread-questions-you-may-have - BOOP point for him! (See thread for explanation.)

Thanks for thread title ideas to @Roysnewshirt and @Witchwife. Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone else.

Do we think the Mysteries replace the usual fun Hmm storylines around giving things up for Lent? Light relief while we wait to see if the SWs go for realism and tragedy when Alice’s baby is born, or bottle out (as it were) and go for everything being fine? Will Jazzer and Tracy get back together again? (No bookie in the land would take money for that, of course they will.)

Over to you!

I've just done three-episode catch-up.

Wow, the Alice/Chris stuff is very intense indeed, and I hope presages a quick trip to Al-Anon, as suggested upthread.

I thought the wince-inducing for Susan would turn out to be a string round the waist to help prod posture, not a TENs machine left running.

@ILoveShula

And that it was only Saturday that was not a TA day.
Oh, how I long for those days...

Should we petition the BBC? 😇

Surely they should publish a roadmap to return to normality?

Do you have a new name in mind @PursuingProxemicExactitude or can we help?

Themes for new thread - mystery play, Alice staying on the wagon, Chris asking for help, rewilding.

PursuingProxemicExactitude · 28/03/2021 10:11

Grin Think I'm ok thanks! Though grateful for the offer.

Anyone fancy a game of Archer's alphabet? Rules - name a character for each letter of the alphabet, bonus points if you can link them to the previous person or they are particularly obscure. One character per post.
