The Archers Mon 18th Oct 2010: Emma's ready to start announcing her pregnancy

The Archers: Panto planning time ... Mike build's bridges ... Jamie feels like an idiot ... Kenton finally deals with Jamie ... Clarrie's been patient

  • Bull!
  • Hurrah! The Panto is back
  • Clarrie had a nice day
  • Jamie's clutching at straws
  • At least Vicky was committed ...
  • Kenton to the rescue?
  • What about Will?!??!?!?!?!?!?



Bull!

"Does she think this is Texas?"

"she comes here, and tells me how to run my herd"

"it don’t matter to calves - they'll just end up dead either way"

Ed's still furious with Vicky for the way she spoke to him, and for her last-ditch attempt to make some 'proper' use of her bull calves.


Hurrah! The Panto is back

I badly missed it last year, so am delighted to hear Lynda planning for her interpretation of Dick Wittington.

Three cheers!

As Kenton said - it’s a hard to believe that it’s that time of year already.


Clarrie had a nice day

And about time too. Clarrie doesn’t get much in the way of anything less than drudgery.

Despite Will being his typical grumpy self, Nic has joined the WI, so was on their trip to Oxford yesterday.

Seemingly Clarrie and Nic had a proper laugh

"strolling through the college pretending to be professors"

Lynda reports that Hillary Noakes will be pleased that Nic has joined the WI (she has a dive on for younger members), and I’m delighted that Clarrie has had fun and is getting along so well with Nic.

Let's face it - Nic will badly need a practical, yet supportive, ally like Clarrie for when Will properly kicks off ...


Jamie's clutching at straws

Nice try Jamie - but trying to dissuade Kathy from picking you up and dropping you off at school using an environmental argument was not clever.

"just look at what you're doing to the planet
"

Yup. That's really going to convince Kathy that her driving you to and from uses too much petrol.

I think proving to Kathy that you can be trusted might have more of an effect.



At least Vicky was committed ...


... but not to where some would like her to be.

It's a fair point that Mike made - Vicky did try her best to sell the veal. Most of the time.

And at least Ed is reasonable enough to see Vicky's point of view (via the ever diplomatic Mike). And he agrees to draw a line under the whole veal business.

Which is very generous, considering everything Vicky said (was there ever too brothers more different?).

But - do we sense trouble in Mike saying it was okay for Ed not to give as detailed an invoice (for caring for the bull calves) as Vicky demanded?

She did give very strict instructions.

An invoice and an apology.

I wouldn’t like to be in Mike's wellies if he doesn't return which exactly just that.


Kenton to the rescue?

After he chat with Jolene at the Harvest Supper, and Lynda also sticking her oar in (again!), Kenton finally calls Jamie.

"I hear it’s been kinda interesting for you recently"

Putting it lightly, but maybe that's what Jamie needs?

A bloke, who is more of a mate than a parent, but who isn’t daft enough to get him drunk. Or arrested ...

Um ... actually ... maybe Kenton isn’t the right man for the job after all.


What about Will?!??!?!?!?!?!?

All fine and good for Emma to starting telling family that she's pregnant, and very good that Clarrie doesn't have to bite her tongue any longer, but haven't they forgotten someone?

Will is going to go absolutely ballistic!

Best get Nic prepared (or at least out of the house ... maybe even a different country) as this is going to be nasty.
