The Archers Fri 18th Feb 2011: Harry’s being stalked

  • Jazzer’s making some sense
  • Tom’s efforts go unnoticed
  • The Crown and Cushion at Penny Hasset comes Kenton recommended
  • Poor Roy
  • Kenton doth protest?



Jazzer’s making some sense

[Jazzer] “Have you learned nothing from me laddie? You never give your number to a lassie you’re no interested in … you give them one digit wrong, or you give them Mike’s number or Tom’s number or the number to the Chinese takeaway”

[Harry] “Some of us have a conscience, Jazzer”

I’m with Jazzer on this one. Harry should just face up to the lady (well, ladies) in question, and be honest.

Though I can see why he’s worried.

Harry’s had 20 texts from Tasha – and has been replying so not to seem to be rude – and now her mate Zoe’s getting in on the act. Zoe reckons that if he doesn’t want Tasha, she’d be happy to get it on with Flash Harry.

While Harry reckons it’s all Jazzer’s fault – this is actually one time it was utterly not of Jazzer’s doing.

Harry agreed to go on the date. Harry flirted with both ladies. Harry isn’t being straight with them by text.

Ignoring Jazzer’s suggestion that he tell them he’s too busy “worming the cat”, Harry doesn’t seem to have any decent ideas about how to cope with his multiple-but-unwanted-female-interest.

So Jazzer takes control of Harry’s mobile, and texts “Not interested. Have a nice life.” to them both.

Job done. Methinks.

I’m just glad Harry doesn’t have a rabbit.


Tom’s efforts go unnoticed

Pat and Tony are back from their rather wonderful holiday – but Kirsty reckons:

[Kirsty] “Tom was quite hurt. He was ever so proud to spot mastitis …”

But of course – one cannot compete with a recently born grandchild.

Wonder how long it’ll take Tom to try and inseminate Brenda, if that’s the only way to get a bit of glory.




The Crown and Cushion at Penny Hasset comes Kenton recommended

Good-o. I’m always on the look for a good pub with decent scran.



Poor Roy

First off, he has to suffer:

[Roy] “Another dose of Lynda going on about her special relationship with Royalty”

(by-the-by – Ian is being quite modest about his proper brush with Camilla)

Now he has to “face the dreaded Mrs Blisset” in order to beg for Phoebe’s time off of school to go to South Africa.

He’ll be getting it tight from Hayley for even having to broker the compromise.

And he’s having to do Elizabeth’s work for her (even though Grey Gables is her client).

Ach well.

Could be worse.

He could be related to Vicky.

Oh, hang on …



Kenton doth protest?

Spotting that Kenton has yet again been out with Jolene, Kirsty reckons there’s more to their friendship that Kenton will admit:

[Kirsty] “It’s not occasionally though. It’s a heck of a lot … come on … just good friends, we all know what that means.”

[Kenton] “You may live your life by the headlines in the celebrity magazines … in the real world, just good friends means just that”

Which would be fine, and understandable, if Kenton hadn’t gone on to say:

[Kenton] “The idea that I’m hitting on her when Sid hasn’t been dead even a year … it’d be totally wrong. Totally inappropriate. I’m totally shocked that you’d even say that. Totally inappropriate.”

Aha! There it is then. Kenton wants to. But knows it’s a tad dodgy.

Problem is, I’m not sure how much ,more I can stomach of Kenton and Jolene not being Kenton and Jolene.

Time to make or stop?
