The Archers Wednesday 28th September 2011: Lilian enjoys ironing

(who’d have thunk it!?!)

  • Tom appreciates his pigs’ intelligence
  • Lilian finds ironing therapeutic
  • Lilian says something negative about James
  • Peggy fell for the ‘he’s a good boy’ ploy
  • Brenda’s irritated
  • I learned a new word today



Tom appreciates his pigs’ intelligence

Which is nice.

And at least he is enjoying the pigs playing football – probably about as much as the pigs enjoy playing it. Though it would seem they’re not actually very good at scoring a goal. Seems they haven’t even managed on so far.

(as a Queen of the South season ticket holder, that feels familiar …)

[Tom] “Pigs are such amazingly talented animals”

I’m quite clear on how much I dislike Tom – but I do like a food producer who respects his animals.


Lilian finds ironing therapeutic

So she says to Peggy. She found it to be calming during all her troubles with Matt.

I wonder if that’s true – or whether Lilian was just saying it to make Peggy feel less guilty about Lilian doing her ironing?


Lilian says something negative about James

She really is full or revelations today.

[Lilian] “I’m finding their constant efforts to find material for their book more than a little wearing”

Will she ever utter that to her beloved son, though?


Peggy fell for the ‘he’s a good boy’ ploy

Peggy is telling Lilian that Darrell is “a decent young man who was led astray” and gives Lilian a row for thinking anything other than that.

After all, Lilian should be aware that not all ex-cons are bad ‘uns.

So, it would seem that Peggy believes everything Elona tells her.

This doesn’t feel like it’s going to end well.


Brenda’s irritated

Rather than just being irritating.

[Brenda] “I’m just feeling really irritated, that’s all … it’s just o annoying to have to speak to James … and then having to hear Lilian bang on about this ridiculous book”

[Tom] “Is it anything to do with you and him?”

Blimey – forgot about Bust Brenda and james.

Seems she’s still annoyed she fell for his rubbish about having great contacts in the media.


I learned a new word today

Bucolic – which is a pastoral poem (noun), of or relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life.

I didn’t note down who said it but they were talking about the book club book:

“It all ends up in what I can describe as bucolic debauchery”
