The Archers Tues 30th Nov 2010: Helen has names for her baby

  • “Little Sid will see what a lovely person big Sid was”
  • Quite right Kenton!
  • Fallon’s dicing with death-by-Lynda-Snell
  • Jolene’s sewer of a mind
  • Helen in eating shock!
  • What more do we have to give?



“Little Sid will see what a lovely person big Sid was”

Ah, a nice idea to give wee Sid a nice photo of a happy big (now dead) Sid.

Funny that. I don’t remember him ever being that jolly …



Quite right Kenton!

It’s not often I agree with our Kenton, but he was quite right to step in and harass that antiques dealer if he was being dodgy

[Kenton] “I couldn’t just stand by and watch my dear poor aunty be ripped off”

Of course, it’s probably the way Kenton went about it that’s set Elizabeth off on one again. I can just imagine his macho posturing.

[Kenton] “I am now persona non grata at Lower Loxley until the end of the Antiques Fair”

Poor chap. He also can’t get anyone to go to lunch with him, and even resorts to begging Helen and Ian to let him join them.



Fallon’s dicing with death-by-Lynda-Snell

Cripes! Fallon has some nerve saying that Lynda’s panto script is a “bit rubbish in parts”

I would even utter that if I was on a different planet from Lynda. She has her way of hearing these things …


Jolene’s sewer of a mind

Jolene mistook Fallon for saying she’d been doing something rather more intimate with Harry than rhyming couplets

[Fallon] “Then we got a bit carried away … one you start you … once you get into the rhythm of it, it’s hard to stop”

Come on Jolene – keep up! Fallon and Harry are starring together in the panto.

Still, it’s nice that Jolene even registers when someone is speaking to her. It was oh so different just a few months ago.


Helen in eating shock!

Ian’s been a quiet as of late, and certainly wasn’t around to berate Helen for getting too anxious about food and exercise while pregnant.

But now that Helen’s a bit happier – up he pops.

Hmmm. Smacks a bit of ‘fair-weather friend’. Which I hate even thinking, as we all do love a bit of Ian.

Anyhoo, Ian’s offers to sort the nursery will at least stop Helen painting the flat again.

[Ian] “I’m not having this baby come into this world without a properly equipped nursery”

Aw, sweet!

Which is the exact opposite to Tony’s behaviour. I really do feel for Helen about Tony still not accepting the inevitable:

[Helen] “But no amount of disapproval will make this baby go away … I so want him to celebrate his grandchild, but he just won’t … it makes me so sad”

Despite her problems with her dad, Helen does seem a bit perkier. A chat with Amy really seems to have done wonders.

[Helen] “I really am going to try and relax some more … and eat”

*thud*

And, she’s also even though of some names – Henry for a boy, Megan for a girl.

Henry Archer or Megan Archer – we await you with eager anticipation! And we’ve started a fund for the therapy you’ll need to untie those mother’s apron springs …



What more do we have to give?

That’s gratitude for you.

Harry makes a website and a Twitter profile. I even created a bloomin; Facebook cause (now at 540). The residents come up with ideas, do a lot of the work AND put money through the till. Even the BBC made t-shirts (though I doubt The Bull say any of that income!).

After all that, Jolene is still thinking of “jacking the pub in”.

Ya boo to you!

Well, actually, to be fair, Jolene was talking to Kenton about how

[Jolene] “Every bit of it (the pub) still reminding me”

But Kenton came back with some very sound advice (eh? Kenton???)

[Kenton, on running away to sea and Australia] “It wasn’t Ambridge I had a problem with … it was me”

[Kenton] “Why would you want to go somewhere that didn’t remind you of him?”

He has a point. Jolene doesn’t want to forget, just be able to move on.

By the way – if Kenton and Jolene are to ‘get it on’, can they do so quickly and quietly, please.
