The Archers: Susan is upset … Jamie’s Angry … Brian’s taking the mick

  • Jennifer apologises (and she meant it!)
  •  Jamie’s being a tad petulant
  •  Is Clive really going to return?


Jennifer apologises (and she meant it!)

After Alice tackling Jennifer for hijacking all of the party, firmly leaving Susan out of everything, Jennifer comes up with the perfect idea for Susan to get involved.

Discounting the decorations, after having seen Susan’s previous attempt, which seemingly included “florescent banners … tinsel … teddys with messages on their jumpers”, Jennifer decides that the cake will be Susan’s mission.

And what a sales person Jennifer is. She not only convinces Susan that the cake is the ‘centrepiece’ of the whole event, a “great opportunity to express creativity” she also manages to make sure Susan will order a cake which Jennifer has already decided is the right one.

So it has to be a ‘cup cake tower’. That only leaves Susan to choose the colour.

Doesn’t it?

Or, is there still an opportunity for Susan to make it garish?!?


Jamie’s being a tad petulant

I really don’t expect Jamie to get over Sid’s death quickly – but he is starting to sound just like your average teenager (angry over absolutely nothing).

“I had a nice time until you spoilt everything”

“Why you asking me stuff? Why are you so interested”

“There’s no-one on my side now”

Jamie has a point that Kathy really should have called him to see where he was, rather than his mate’s mum. I’m not sure why she thought he wasn’t where he said he was going to be – has he ever done something to suggest he’d lie?

If Kathy does keep on like this, Jamie will start behaving as she expects him to. After all, he is just a teenager.


Is Clive really going to return?

Brian can’t help himself taking the utter rip out of the Horrobin’s.

While Jennifer has had a complete change of heart (she really is accepting that Susan and her family have as much right to Alice and Chris’ marriage as she does), Brian isn’t going to go down as easily.

While Brian’s joking about “entertaining a nest of Horrobins”, “locking up the silver” and checking “what else we’ve for that’s easily liftable”, Jennifer now sees the Horrobin family as having a “few colourful characters”.

Telling Brian that it’s

“Your sense of humour you need to keep under lock and key”

Jennifer’s very much taking the moral high ground.

That’s until Alice mentions that Clive’s getting an invite.

“They wouldn’t let him out just for a party … would they?”

Oh my! This could be even more fun that I imagined.
