19th July 2010

The Archers: David takes to the field with Edana … Lynda’s plotting away … the Fete’s celebrity is confirmed … Josh fixes a washing machine … Pip’s still back to ‘normal’
  • Edana come a plucky second
  • These days, just post a message to contact Jill
  • The name game (again)
  • Secretive about the celebrity …
  • “It’s like there’s a bee Armageddon”
  • Josh looks set to be a pretty decent chap


Edana come a plucky second

Or, at least, I’m assuming that’s what David and Pip meant about her coming so close to first.

I’m still loving the freshness of the new/old Pip, and the fact David and her can have conversations without shouting.

Lovely.

“All want to do now is try and move on”

Thank you Pip. Thank you.


These days, just post a message to contact Jill

Who’d have thought Jill would become such an enthusiastic silver surfer – to the point where she’s telling Emma to post queries on the website about her recipes.

That’s kind of sad in a way. Days before, she’d have told Emma to pop round. And have a cup of tea and a cake.


The name game (again)

So Lynda is being her usual modest self regarding The Strange Affair at Ambridge Towers. It’s seemingly “carefully crafted” with the “perfect plot”.

But I do have to agree that

“The whole idea is a stroke of genius”

I can’t wait! Must be the classic crime fan in me …

On the characters names:

So we worked out Jill’s character (Doris Perkins – Doris Archers and Polly Perkins)

Emma’s Nora Larkin could be Nora Salt or Nora McCauley (though am not sure either was buried at St Stephens), and the Larkin really should be Jethro, but could be Bob, Lizzie, Mabel, Ned, Susan …

We also worked out Tom Gabriel (Tom Forrest and Walter Gabriel)

Letty (Letty Lawson-Hope)

But still no joy with Raith (sp?) Fairbrother (Grace Fairbrother, assuming her gravestone had ‘nee’ on it – but who is Raith? Anyone?)


Secretive about the celebrity …


Cheeky!

As if we haven’t had enough excitement with the ‘topical’ football inserts.

How will we ever cope …


“It’s like there’s a bee Armageddon”

Erm. Okay then Emma.

I haven’t as much talk about bees dying/disappearing this year, but maybe I’ve not been keeping up with Countryfile as much as I should.

Either way, looks like Jill’s bees are doing just fine:

“Good honey crop means happy bees”


Josh looks set to be a pretty decent chap

Helping out on the farm and with Jill’s bees, and now Josh fixed Emma’s washing machine for her.

What a super wee laddie!

I’ll probably stop saying this soon (!), but Pip had better not assume she’s next in line for Brookfield. Foretelling a bit of an argy-bargy between Josh and Pip over that one in the years to come.
