The Archers Friday 15th July 2011: A job … my goodness me, no!

  • There’s always time for scarecrows
  • Susan’s losing sleep over Chris
  • Who gets to cook the sausages?
  • Frozen pizzas and jobs … the shame
  • The forecast for the christening



There’s always time for scarecrows

Neil’s getting nipped by Susan for seemingly having more time to “mess around” making George’s Trill scarecrow than helping out with preparing for Keira’s christening.

I reckon it’s just nice to see someone making a fuss over something for George. Good Neil has joined Will and Nic in making sure George doesn’t miss out.


Susan’s losing sleep over Chris

[Susan] “It must be so hard for him … having to live up to expectations. money’s never been a problem for her, has it, not the way she was brought up … different families have different values”

So Susan is also using Chris and Alice’s slight (and I do mean slight) financial woes as a means to be negative about their match/marriage.

What’s more – she’s turning it onto Jennifer – as in Jennifer disapproves of Chris (and the rest of the Carters. And that Jennifer and Brian are loaded.

[Susan] “Even if we can't help, you’d think that Brian and Jennifer with all their money … they can afford it, and they wouldn’t just be helping Christopher, they’d be investing in a nice little business”

Looks like this one is brewing into a good old fashioned family feud.



Who gets to cook the sausages?

Alice offered.

Susan was supposed to.

But Nic manages to weegle her way in.

Not sure why Nic was so keen to help with Keira's christening (she hassled Clarrie until Clarrie hassled Susan).

Susan was obviously not too keen for Nic to be around (what with the whole Will/Ed/Emma situation).

Have Will and Nic even been invited to the Christening?



Frozen pizzas and jobs … the shame

Jennifer (having popped round Alice’s … again) is first horrified at the thought of Alice buying frozen pizzas. As Chris likes them.

Jennifer is already dreading the Carter’s Christening party – planning how she and Brian can leave early.

And to top it off – Alice’s talk of getting a summer job appals Jennifer. She thinks that surely an internship (related to her engineering masters) – rather than a common job.

But at least she approves of the Christening gift Alice has bought for Keira (a charm bracelet)

[Jennifer] “Nice and personal but not too ostentatious”


The forecast for the christening

Is:

[Susan] “nothing will go wrong, it’s going to be perfect”

Hmmm.
