Was being a bit of a sanctimonious snob last night wasn't she?

I cringe when they kiss each other on radio, the worse was Nik and Will and the voice he put on when he was talking to her made me want to vomit.

had forgotten about Nic... that was not one of their more subtle plots - i t was obvious from day one

ipanemagirl · 12/09/2008 21:07

Nic plot was as subtle as a freight train.

And sometimes don't you find it all a bit depressing?

Ed and his drug addiction?

But I DID like Usha kicking I'm so perfect Shula's ASS about her affair with whoever it was I've forgotten.

That was great! And even Alan being mean to Shula was quite a pleasure and Jill giving her a hard time about prejudice was good too.

Oh and Shula's husband's GAMBLING oh so dragged on forever and ever!! yawn.....

My friend can't bear Brian mooning over Siobhan and Ruiaddriads's grief bench!!

Blandmum · 12/09/2008 21:10

yes, the addiction lines are totally unrealistic.

they are the topic de jour for ages and then the people are all just better, like magic!

So ed is clean and Jazzer is no longer getting brain damage from doing K (and what has happened to his brain damage btw?)

The writers also 'forgot about' Brian's brain damage/fits after he was kicked in the head by a Grundy cow that had Mad cow disease. Big plot line at the time, and now it is never mentioned

LittleBella · 12/09/2008 21:14

Yes they seem to be incapable of maintaining a plot line don't they?

Jazzer has recovered remarkably well. With never any relapses or anything.

poppy34 · 12/09/2008 21:16

it is indeed a marvel ..and they keep paying lip service to ed's history by referring to emma not hurting him again. What confuses me more about that is how someone like susan could produce teh nearest thing ambridge has to helen of troy..

LittleBella · 12/09/2008 21:24

I always get so pissed off when they rewrite the history of Emmurrr hurting Ed. He left her. She moved out of the caravan when she realised it was bad for George, but was still together with Ed. Then the test results came through showing that Will was George's father, not Ed, and Ed went off in a strop much to her distress, and became a homeless drug addict. And for that, somehow Emma is responsible, not Ed.

traceybath · 12/09/2008 21:31

I can hardly bear to listen at the moment as am sick of listening to ed being 'super dad' to george. Think the whole will going off thing is just totally out of character too.

I love lilian - she's so funny and pussycat and tiger are very sweet.

I also teared up a little at the jo grundy and mabel storyline.

Does anyone ever post on the archers boards on the bbc website? Quite scarey over there.

ipanemagirl · 12/09/2008 21:35

it's true, I hadn't noticed that emma'n'ed rewriting of history.

But did anyone see the BBC4 prog about the writers?

Enuff said, all you had to do was watch that and weep.

!!

Ruuuuth's near affair and then David never taking on board how his behaviour influenced hers?

I know she's dead and all but I disliked Siobhan intensley

GrimmaTheNome · 12/09/2008 21:43

Oh! I missed the brum wedding. Shame. And Jill having a go at Kenton (so i dont remember it).

Talking of Adam... its just occurred to me that I've not heard the lovely voice of his other half (name momentarily escapes me) for a long time? They didn't quitely split up while I was on holiday or something?

Ooh, who are the writers then? A bunch of knobs by any chance?

seeker · 12/09/2008 21:46

Hang on a minute - who's rewriting the Emma /Ed thing? I think George was fine in the caravan - it was Emma - who is, after all her foul mother's foul daughter who didn't think it was good enough for her!

I think I hate Helen the most - it's the way all her sentences go up at the ends. And I really thought she was going to make things exciting by making a play for Oliver and she didn't.

The worst actor has to be Adam of the Random Inflections "I'm just GOING to plough the TOP field"
And whatever happened to Alasdair blood doping Matt's horses? And what's his name - Adam's other half's - broodiness?

LittleBella · 12/09/2008 21:46

Are the BBC boards full of nutters?

GrimmaTheNome · 12/09/2008 21:46

This evening I started wondering if Annabel is going to lead David astray under the disguise of discussing the digester...

LittleBella · 12/09/2008 21:48

No, the caravanwas damp and cold and Emmurr was being leaned on to move into Susan's, and then George had an accident, which is what convinced her to move out.

Then when the test results came through, Ed left her. Not the other way around. But for some reason, it's taken for granted that it was her fault that Ed was hurt.

traceybath · 12/09/2008 21:49

The BBC boards are full of people who have listened to The Archers since day dot and they are very very pedantic.

However they do know everything about everyone in the archers so quite interesting. One of the writers - keri davies - is also on their a lot and answers ad hoc questions.

They got very worked up because the script writers got hayley's pregnancy dates wrong - they managed to work out when she conceived and that the writers had got her gestation dates wrong.

traceybath · 12/09/2008 21:50

And i also loathed siobhan.

ipanemagirl · 12/09/2008 23:33

LOL at Hayley's pg dates being wrong! I bet the boards went MAD about that!

They may not be nutters on them there boards... but let's say they're extremely passionate, focussed, and have pehaps EVEN less life than me!!!!

poppy34 · 13/09/2008 12:41

Agree that bbc boards are scary but fascinating..

Starting to quite like annabel (after all it was quite one sided with matt)...she couldnot have bad enough taste to go for david
