THE ARCHERS: does anyone else dislike Will Grundy?

[scampadoodle]

I know he's had a rough time & hasn't actually done anything nasty, but he's really unpleasant isn't he? Smug, & insensitive, & that voice!!! I bet that even if Ed hadn't run off with his wife, Will still wouldn't have given him any of the money.

Or am I being evil & he's actually salt-of-the-earth?

Will is really sinister, I think; all that "if yew want any money, Nic, just come crawling on your hands and knees to me". But Nic is clearly up to no good and the two of them richly deserve each other.
I love Matt and Lilian. The storylines are really improbable but it doesn't matter somehow. I'm just sorry that Lilian's too blue at the moment to do that great ginny laugh of hers . I think she could show Moike a thing or two - I bet his late wife Beddy was strictly lights-off and missionary position.

Kewc, you can always do listen again on the archers website. can choose any episode from the previous seven, i think.

nic deffo up to no good. Wulliam is both a klutz and an increasingly nasty piece of work. i do like jenni-fer and skulduggerous old brian - their relationship always very well written.

as for ruth, and her awful fake Geordie accent - i always hope she'll end up under the Brookfield combine in a tragic accident. With sanctimonious Shula.

"I cannot understood what Kenton sees in her" - you cant see what kathy sees in Kenton - we're talking about Kenton right - KENTON.

Pelafina - is it really supposed to be about farming ishoos? Really? I thought they'd given up that agenda long ago, but levered one in occasionally so we didn't think they'd put Corrie on the radio.

It wouldn't be so irritating if it was a done a bit better.

Useless Archer's fact number 378575: Whenever Ruth or Deeevid close a gate at the farm, they use an ironing board for the creaking noise! When you know, you can tell.

Kenton is irresponsible and childish but at least he's fun. Kathy is as dull as ditchwater.

That was Roy, Sobernow

You've got to laugh at the concept of Tom's Mighty Sausage Empire though

Oh Tom and his bloody sausages, he's a PITA

Will is ghastly, I hope he gets his come-uppance

Everyone else except Lilian and Brian at the moment are perfectly awful.

Debbie and Adam are just excrutiating. And selfish and blinkered.

I thank you.

Wasn't Tom in trouble with the law once for eco warrior activities? I have a hazy memory of that lawyer woman - Usha? (sp) - getting him off?

But Debbie - irritating though she is - was poleaxed when she found out about Ruauri (sp? but do you notice how Jennifer pronounces every vowel? ) and couldn't even be in the same house as Brian for a long time - she was just sort of coming round and now he hits her with this.

Considering she was always Daddy's girl he has sidelined her in a very hurtful way.

Yes, TC - that was GM crops - who was the girlfriend in it with him?

Like that about the ironing board - will have to listen out.

We were talking about how annoying nic and willyum are here too

My favourite archers factoid is that the actor who plays Davis is the voice of "MIND THE GAP" on the Piccadilly line

And did you know he is some kind of nob, Olivia?

I haven't liked Hayley so much since she MYSTERIOUSLY changed her voice completely.

Nobody likes Linda Snell?

I like Fallon. She seems nice. And obviously Lillian (and as a result am thinking of calling people 'Tiger' more often).

And I quite like Elizabeth's husband (whatsisname?) in a rubbish-toff kind of a way.

Helen. Yuk. And as for KATE - thank GAWD she's off in South Africa most of the time.

This was his dad - I'm not sure if Tim is the Earl now or if there's an older brother?

There are some nice characters. Guy and Caroline? Trendy vicar Alan? Pat?

Yes WW Viscount of Borsetshire or somewhere isn't he?

No Nigel is TOO irritating with his insistence on referring to his mother as Mummy and going on and on about Great Uncle Rupert

I like Linda for the comedy value and find Robert's long sufferings quite amusing too.

And yes, I really like Fallon.

"Heir, Timothy Bentinck, Viscount Woodstock."

Deevid is an Earl now then. Coo.

TW, I don't know how to tell you this but Guy is dead
