The Archers: David takes to the field with Edana … Lynda’s plotting away … the Fete’s celebrity is confirmed … Josh fixes a washing machine … Pip’s still back to ‘normal’
- Edana come a plucky second
- These days, just post a message to contact Jill
- The name game (again)
- Secretive about the celebrity …
- “It’s like there’s a bee Armageddon”
- Josh looks set to be a pretty decent chap
Edana come a plucky second
Or, at least, I’m assuming that’s what David and Pip meant about her coming so close to first.
I’m still loving the freshness of the new/old Pip, and the fact David and her can have conversations without shouting.
Lovely.
“All want to do now is try and move on”
Thank you Pip. Thank you.
These days, just post a message to contact Jill
Who’d have thought Jill would become such an enthusiastic silver surfer – to the point where she’s telling Emma to post queries on the website about her recipes.
That’s kind of sad in a way. Days before, she’d have told Emma to pop round. And have a cup of tea and a cake.
The name game (again)
So Lynda is being her usual modest self regarding The Strange Affair at Ambridge Towers. It’s seemingly “carefully crafted” with the “perfect plot”.
But I do have to agree that
“The whole idea is a stroke of genius”
I can’t wait! Must be the classic crime fan in me …
On the characters names:
So we worked out Jill’s character (Doris Perkins – Doris Archers and Polly Perkins)
Emma’s Nora Larkin could be Nora Salt or Nora McCauley (though am not sure either was buried at St Stephens), and the Larkin really should be Jethro, but could be Bob, Lizzie, Mabel, Ned, Susan …
We also worked out Tom Gabriel (Tom Forrest and Walter Gabriel)
Letty (Letty Lawson-Hope)
But still no joy with Raith (sp?) Fairbrother (Grace Fairbrother, assuming her gravestone had ‘nee’ on it – but who is Raith? Anyone?)
Secretive about the celebrity …
Cheeky!
As if we haven’t had enough excitement with the ‘topical’ football inserts.
How will we ever cope …
“It’s like there’s a bee Armageddon”
Erm. Okay then Emma.
I haven’t as much talk about bees dying/disappearing this year, but maybe I’ve not been keeping up with Countryfile as much as I should.
Either way, looks like Jill’s bees are doing just fine:
“Good honey crop means happy bees”
Josh looks set to be a pretty decent chap
Helping out on the farm and with Jill’s bees, and now Josh fixed Emma’s washing machine for her.
What a super wee laddie!
I’ll probably stop saying this soon (!), but Pip had better not assume she’s next in line for Brookfield. Foretelling a bit of an argy-bargy between Josh and Pip over that one in the years to come.
The Archers: Brenda gets it right with Lilian … David, Ruth & brood are getting ready for the Royal Welsh Show … Jolene isn’t any better
- Is Lilian just easily pleased, or am I missing something?
- “That moose that grandpa Simpson had on his facebook page”
- And facebook again!
- Why hasn’t Vicky and Mike given Brenda a hard time?
- No surprises in Sid’s will
- Hurrah! Pip’s back with the Young Farmers!
Is Lilian just easily pleased, or am I missing something?
Did I hear that right, or did Brenda just phone the Council. Ask a question. Get told an answer. The passed it onto Lilian?
I must be missing something, as Lilian seemed utterly delighted with Brenda’s work.
“That moose that grandpa Simpson had on his facebook page”
Then again, I’m also easily pleased. Hearing Pip and Josh jibbing each other rather than all-out squabbling was lovely.
Pip is even finding jokes about ‘Grandpa Simpson’ funny.
And facebook again!
Is the BBC about to buy our facebook, as well as pretending it ‘writes’ The Archers?
How many mentions can they pack into one episode?
Not complaining, but there is a whole world of twitter to be discovered … ;-)
And I don’t see a page on there for Edana anyway. Josh must be mixing his social networks up.
Why hasn’t Vicky and Mike given Brenda a hard time?
Brenda seems very non-plussed about the Tom and Vicky spat over the veal and ham pies.
Matt’s right that there is:
“No copyright on ideas”
But surely Vicky will do more to Tom by haranguing Brenda?
Or maybe not.
Maybe Vicky is actually quite a reasonable woman.
Hmmm.
No surprises in Sid’s will
Jolene gets the pub shares, Jamie gets some of the shares when he’s 18, and a “bit of money” goes to Lucy.
Hopefully that’s that then.
Or will Lucy want more than small change? Will Jamie turn into a bit of a cad when he hits 18?
Considering how badly Jolene’s coping, I do wish her an uneventful time for many a moon to come. I wasn’t a big fan of Sid, but Jolene is a right good lady.
Hurrah! Pip’s back with the Young Farmers!
Phew!
David was so delighted to have his nice, thoughtful, polite Pip back, he was nearly in tears when she was checking that it’d be okay for her to camp out at the show with her Young Farmers pals.
Not quite tears for me, but glad to have got rid of that tense feeling every time Pip spoke or was mentioned.
