Not taking it all back, but …
I’m still not entirely convinced that the secret microphones are in the right place during Ambridge Extra, but thought today was a lot better.
Maybe it’s because it was slightly more to do with the older of the youngsters (Chris, Ed and Alice) – didn’t have thumping club music – and had a fun run in it.
That’s more Ambridge!
I am still confused about the timespan of what we’re eavesdropping into (seemingly these sessions covers a longer period than our average Archers) – doesn’t make for easy switching between this and Ambridge proper.
Anyhoo. We’ve moved up for a C (did you understand any of the exam questions) to a B minus (trying harder, but not quite there yet).
Kenton in a pink leotard
Oh dear.
Kirsty’s Ostrich costume sounded tame in comparison – but the difference was that she didn’t want to wear it for the Fun Run, whereas Kenton was quite buzzing to be in his.
[Kenton] “This is meant to be a fun run. Where’s your sense of fun?”
Pretty Polly?
(sorry – far too obvious, I know)
The girl that Jamie met the other night was called Polly. She was the mate of the lassie who Daniel was taking out, and took Jamie along to make it a double. Date.
Fallon was winding up Jamie, but he did seem to quite like Polly. They haven’t arranged to meet up again, but they’ve chatted online (which is good as meeting face-to-face, for these wee whippersnappers!).
Wonder if Polly will stick around Jamie for a bit and make him a slightly less moody chap?
“Point your beak that way”
Which is what Kenton said to Kirsty when she said she couldn’t see to tell him and Alice who was standing next to Pip (!).
I think I agree with Kirsty. That sounds like an awful costumer to have to run in.
Spencer stretching for Pip?
It was that bloke Spencer who was next to Pip.
He was seemingly doing very “wide leg stretches”, which Kenton reckoned was his way of trying to impress Pip.
But, Spencer did win the fun run, so maybe not.
A bit odd that Spencer’s brother Steve (who is one of Jamie’s mates) was taking the Michael out of the Fun Run, but didn’t say anything about or to his brother?
Can’t imagine is was busy enough for him to not have spotted Spencer.
Keira had a bit of a cob-on
She sounds more and more like her uncles Will each day!
Chris sounds like Jamie
In the sense that he was being incredibly mono-syllabic with Alice.
What’s his problem?
Jamie stole vodka
Oh what a silly wee laddie.
Jolene and Fallon are hardly going to be chuffed with him. And it was only to impress his moronic mates.
Tonight, they took the Michael out of the Fun Run – the Michael out of Jamie over his date (along the lines of ‘did you just hold hands’) – called Daniel “a geek” (but didn’t have the balls to do it to his face) – chucked Daniel’s bag into the bushes while he was off running – and called Jamie ‘a girl’ for wanting to wait to see Fallon finish the Fun Run,
What silly little boys indeed.
“Don’t do a Paula Radcliffe”
What an odd thing for Jamie to shout at the folks taking part in the Fun Run.
Is she still ‘current’?
What’s this Chas and Alice situation?
It’s all quite suspicious.
Chas called Alice almost immediately after she’d left their flat at Uni for home.
And now Alice is calling Chas.
Are they just being matey?
I’m not convinced that Chas is really just interested in being ‘there’ for Alice while she and Chris have problems – just as I’m not totally convinced nothing happened between them when she was drunk.
And now they’re meeting up for lunch in Stratford.
[Chas] “Come on. Put down your books and your piny and let me put a smile on your face”
Hmmm.
Chris is annoyed
Despite telling Alice that he was fine about the Facebook video, Chris admits to Ed that he is actually quite put-out by it.
He sprains his ankle during the Fun Run (which is Alice’s fault for making him do it in the first place), which gives Ed time to have a chat with him.
Telling Ed about the video:
[Chris] “She said she was drunk, and his hands were all over her … now I’m starting to wonder what else she’s been up to”
Sounds like Chris is trying to believe nothing has happened, but the doubt is there.
But Ed reckons they’re the perfect couple, and Chris shouldn’t worry.
[Ed] “I know what it’s like when somebody’s made for you. It might get rough, but at the end of the day, there’s nothing that’s going to change that … I know about this stuff, I’ve got the scars to prove it”
Chris takes Ed’s advice on-board, later joking with Alice that he should rest up his foot, take the day off of work, and lie down on the sofa while Alice feeds him beer.
But … Alice does everything she can to persuade Chris that he should go to work. And that she needs to study.
Oh dearie me. That’s not the truth, is it Alice? Aren’t you popping off to Stratford?
Jamie’s a good boy really?
After Steve and Marty have left (to go to the pavilion to drink vodka – classy!), Jamie retrieves Daniels’ bag from the bushes.
Daniel catches him doing so, and (in a straight forward Daniel way) thanks Jamie, but also expresses his concern that Jamie’s acquaintances might not be very suitable for Jamie.
[Jamie] “Those two losers. Why do you even hang about with those idiots?”
Why indeed?
Jamie seems desperate to impress them, even asking Daniel not to say that he got his bag back for him.
Underneath that idiotic teenage façade is a nice young chap staring out.
