  • Chris is distant
  • Jamie got lost on the stairs?
  • Chas is strange
  • Daniel gets a lady for Jamie
  • Steve lends money



In a break from my usual Archers blogging, I’m forced to squeeze everything about today’s Ambridge extra into one wee posting.

And that’s simply because I’m really (really!) struggling to say anything about today’s eavesdropping episode.

So:

First off – was today Sunday? Jamie came down the stairs to tell Fallon Kathy had said yes to him working. So is Ambridge Extra two days behind? Over a few days? Or did Jamie get lost on the stairs???

Odd.

Chris collects Alice from Uni to go back home for three weeks. He’s quite distant, she’s nervously chatting away and she’s keen to get Chris away from Chas (before Chas mentions anything about them sharing a bed when Alice was blootered). At home. Alice cooks a nice meal and suggests a bit of ‘budge-nudge’, but Chris isn’t interested. He wants to go to the pub to meet Roy.

Alice reckons that Kenton and Jolene is a bit hard on Kathy:

[Alice] “But what about Kathy? That’s the second time Jolene’s done that to her … I mean you’d never trust anyone ever again”

Daniel invites Jamie along on a double date. Jamie’s skint, so borrows off of Steve. Steve then gets Jamie to try and steal him some booze from The Bull. Jamie tries, but is caught by Fallon (though she doesn’t realise he was trying to steal).

Chas fancies Alice, I reckon.

And that’s that.

(badly don’t want to be like a BBC message board angry … but really think someone needs to be better at placing those hidden microphones …)

Maybe it grows on you. Even the title music seemed beter this time. Isn't Ambridge extra supposed to be spread over a few days rather than just one? Get more happening. Apparently.

I am now warming to it (though still get a jolt when the music starts!). Found out that yes - it's over a few days, which I think is a bit confusing.
