The Archers Sun 20th Feb 2011: Kenton upsets Jolene

  • Susan’s front page news
  • Lynda’s still going on, and on, and on …
  • Ian Craig to do THE wedding?
  • Brian’s off to Paris
  • Kenton’s being a twerp
  • Eddie’s a Bonnie Tyler fan
  • Ruined packet of crisps
  • Poor Jolene



Susan’s front page news

Susan is on the front page of The Echo – as she was near Camilla when the picture was taken.

Seemingly Clarrie isn’t happy about it. She can’t be seen.

To be exact, she can’t be seen because Susan is waving her Union Jack flag over Clarrie’s face.

Ah Clarrie. Will your light ever be let out from that bushel?



Lynda’s still going on, and on, and on …

Now Lynda reckons that Camilla gave a hoot that her bicycle chain had come off, while she was alone, in the dark, on a country lane. She’s seemingly not saying:

[Jennifer] “How affected by her plight (Camilla) was”

[Jolene] “I’m not so sure about that Jennifer. She just gave her a wave”

Quite right Jolene.

In fact, Camilla saw that Lynda was in distress, and just drove on.

Hardly the beginnings of a deep and meaningful relationship.


Ian Craig to do THE wedding?

(and I will admit that I had to go and do a bit of research to get the notion out of my mind that they were talking about Andrew and Fergie … my how time has marched on without me noticing)

Probably not. I’d have thought they’d chose their chef based on more than just some decent shortbread.

However, I wouldn’t put it by Camilla to soon launch a new range of Duchy …


Brian’s off to Paris

With Matt and Lilian.

That wasn’t Brian’s plan. It did sound like he was up to something, after all the effort he want to in persuading Jennifer that it’d be pointless her tagging alone.

My money was on him asking Ruth to accompany him but, let’s face it, I don’t think Brian would actually have been that fussy.

Anyhoo – he’s got no chance to dally with Lilian and Matt also on the trip. In fact, he can’t even relax in his room without Lilian stalking him (though to be fair, he did say he’d be down to dinner).

[Brian] “How to matt and Lilian manage to stick their beaks into everything?”

Just to keep annoying you, Brian …


Kenton’s being a twerp

After his chat with Kirsty yesterday, Kenton seems to have decided that the best way for him to deal with Jolene is to avoid and ignore.

He refuses a coffee.

Then cancels their night out at a gig, by telephone, during which he hung up very abruptly, before Jolene could say goodbye.

That’s simply spot on Kenton. Good job indeed. You have feelings for Jolene, you think that’s wrong, so – of course – the best thing to do is to be an arse to Jolene, and make her feel like crap.

That’s just what she needs – and is certainly what Matt wants …

Nice one Kenton. You’re a true friend indeed (!)


Eddie’s a Bonnie Tyler fan

Who’d have thunk it?

Nic’s decided that she and Will need to sort something out for Eddie’s impending 60th birthday, rather than assuming Clarrie will sort it.

[Nic] “Why does it always have to be up to her. Why can’t we do something … be nice if we could do the organising for a change”

Will agrees with Nic, and later comes up with the idea that Eddie would love a night at the races.

They even reckon that they could give Eddie money to gamble with, rather than giving him presents. Which Will is glad about, as he was running out of ideas:

[Will] “I can’t get him another Bonnie Tyler CD”

I’m off to ponder this new information that Eddie is a Bonnie Tyler fan …


Ruined packet of crisps

That Jake and Mia can’t be trusted with a prawn cocktail packet of crisps.

They ended up ruining them by spilling them all over the floor as they fought over them.

But all’s well. There was another box of them our back.

Phew!



Poor Jolene

She’s not a daft one, is our Jolene.

Kenton suddenly blowing cold is all too obvious to Jolene – and she’s annoyed with herself for being so upset that Kenton’s cancelled their night out at the gig.

Trying to tell herself that it doesn’t matter, Nic catches her muttering away to herself.

[Nic] “I won't tell anyone, except myself”

(nice touch Nic).

So maybe Jolene also liked Kenton – maybe she didn’t, and is just gutted that a friend can treat her so badly.

Either way – Kenton, you are a twerp!

The Archers Sun 31st Oct 2010: The first Panto rehearsal & Halloween at The Bull

The Archers: Lynda stresses ... so does Freda ... Jolene seems happy ... Kenton is helpful

  • So it begins …
  • Black balloons and Monster mash
  • Kenton and Fallon?
  • Ambridge has gone ‘little black dress’ crazy!
  • Panto *snort* moments #2
  • Lynda forgives easily
  • Harry wins again
  • “Bonfire night was always one of Sid’s big nights”
  • The Panto cast (so far) #2




So it begins …

The Panto rehearsals begin in earnest, with Lynda being very earnest indeed.

[Lynda] “So any questions, comments criticisms …”

[Nigel] “That’s very brave Lynda!”

[Lynda] “ … I was just joking”

I’m not sure why Lynda outs herself through this (almost) every year, as she gets so tense.

She’s stressed about Nigel having to leave early. Josh being late. Vicky being a bit dim.

[Lynda] “Oh dear. This will be Oscar’s first theatrical experiences and the highlights of Coriander’s stay”

Phew! That’s a lot to ask of a village Panton Lynda.

Maybe slim down those expectations a wee bit?


Black balloons and Monster mash

It must be Halloween at The Bull.

Jolene seems to be well and truly ‘perking’ up.

(sorry)

She refuses the hat and cloak, but is happy to don the gloves and glittery make-up.

Is our Jolene back for good?



Kenton and Fallon?

Just a passing thought, but Kenton does seem ever so keen to help with The Bull.

I know that might be because he wants to prove himself to Jamie.

Or that he might bump into Kathy (possibly)?

But you just never know with Kenton


Ambridge has gone ‘little black dress’ crazy!

Yesterday, Nigel was trying to get Elizabeth into hers.

Today it’s Fallon encouraging Jolene.



Panto *snort* moments #2

[Nigel] “I can stick the sausages in”

[Lynda] “Puts one sausage into each other of Idle jack’s hands”

[Vicky] “Waiting for one of them to get the pie in their face”


Lynda forgives easily

After Vicky being a bit of a bad mate when she sided with Brian over the Peregrines, I’d have thought Lynda would have given her the frosty treatment for weeks to come.

But all Vicky had to do was (a) be completely oblivious to Lynda being angry at her and (b) mention ’tactics’ in relation to the Panto.

Lynda was right in there!



Harry wins again

Despite Kenton making such an effort, and Frieda being in a “Simon Cowell mood”, Harry wins the prize for best costume.

Jazzer at least had a go (by splashing tomato sauce on his shirt … which actually could have just been because Jazzer hadn’t changed his shirt from the night before). And I actually think dressing as a Hammer Horror monster shows a great taste in horror film (hurrah to 1970s horrors, ya-booo to modern slasher ones).

After a deeply tense moment:

“If daylight doesn’t kill us, the suspense will…”

As per usual, it’s Harry who ‘wows’ the crowds. Jazzer seemingly said he looked:

“like a cross between Pete Docherty and a supply teacher he once locked in a stationery cupboard”

(Fallon “Well I think you look dreamy”. Oh for goodness sake Fallon – just ask him out for a cup of tea and an iced bun already!)

Quite surprised that Freda (the sole judge) chose Harry

“I think she’d more into knitting patterns than twilight books”,

Kenton was more concerned that Jamie hadn’t been at the party.

Ah, poor Kenton.

It’s a lesson learned very late in life, but he might have at last got the point that actions have consequences.

Especially the ones involving sex.



“Bonfire night was always one of Sid’s big nights”

Oh.

Maybe Jolene isn’t quite over Sid yet.

Are we going to remember the 5th of November?


The Panto cast (so far) #2

Jill: fairy beau bells

Vicky: Mrs Fitzwarren

Sabrina: Whittington’s cat

Nigel: Sarah the Cook (The Dame)

Harry: Idle Jack

Richard Thwaite: King Rat

Nathan Booth: Rate Henchman 1

Eddie: Rat Henchman 2

Jim: The Imperial Majesty

(but still no Dick or Alice!)

Robert and Neil constructing the sets

Daniel is helping with set and lighting

And Vicky is going to work on getting Mike to act (“It’s be great fun getting to play husband and wife”)

But still looking for two leading ladies …

Fallon? For

“A girl who can really belt out big numbers for the part of Dick”

Brenda as her lady love?
