The Archers: A cow gets hurt by a bottle … Eddie’s winning on the horses … Kevin Bacon … Kathy won’t go to Jaxx … some land might be bought … David shouts at Kenton … Ruth to invite Jude round

An Ambridge resident wouldn’t do that!

I’ve never understood folks who think it preferable to chuck their litter out of their car than hold onto it until the next bin, but I’m assuming none of the Ambridge set would’ve chucked that bottle, which then hurt one of Brookfield’s cows.

Dramatic times …


Eddie and Mystic Josie

Good to hear Eddie’s getting a few more quid into his pockets, but what’s the scam?

Is it Eddie that’s going to be taken for a ride (for once)?


Yes – I think she did say Kevin Bacon

Possibly heard last week, but it did sound like Pip’s tutor is called Kevin Bacon.

Isn’t that taking the Six Degrees too far?


Kathy’s starting to sound like Kenton

I’m still firmly on Kathy’s ‘side’, but her excuses for not going to Jaxx are a tad tenuous.

I reckon it’s because Jaxx is now synonymous with all that’s wrong between Kathy and Kenton (as far as Kathy sees it).

And even though Kathy should be more supportive, it’s special circumstances at the moment.

With Jaxx so busy, isn’t it just a matter of time until Kenton decides a grumpy/demanding partner, and rather morose kid (though understandably so) are too much baggage? Surely he’ll be meeting lots more woman nowadays …

Or, will Kathy just get fed up of coping alone?


The Battle of Hastings?

So, as far as I understand it, Beth Saunders and Mr Duffy won’t be a problem – but Mr Hastings might not

“be motivated by money”

Yikes! I’m not sure Brian and Annabelle can cope with such a chap.

Still, with Brian already planning retail development as well as the mart, I think we can look forward to lots of wheeler dealing, leading to Lynda (who’ll hopefully be heard soon) mounting a campaign against the development, or possibly a Matt Crawford size spike in Borchester Land’s wheels.


Now that one wasn’t Kenton’s fault

Size ten’s getting in the way again, but David was a bit harsh on Kenton.

“Everybody thinks they can do a better job with Pip”

Yes, Elizabeth think she could – but I don’t think Kenton would have even been aware of the whole Jude/Travel hoo-ha.

And who is David to tell Kenton that he can’t talk about what, he reckons, was “the best thing he ever did”?

David needs to wind his neck in. What a very rude man.


An evening with Jude

I’d even choose an evening with Vicky over that!

Poor Ruth now seems to be clutching at straws, but at least some sort of plan is a plan.

David, Jude, Pip and Ruth all in one room … I’m not sure if my speakers will cope with all that screeching and shouting.
