Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Bunnahabhain Date: 31 Oct 06 - 07:59 AM Some other possible story lines for the anniversery... They all lynch Linda Snell, to get out of having to do the pantomine again, and for the general greater good. Someone in the complicated triangle surrounding little george kidnaps him. This is not good for the fragile Ed. Bert Fry and Grundy senior develop a nasty case of competitive yokel-itis, which forces the goverment to introduce a protective presumtive cull of the whole village. TB outbreak at brookfield, to really make it a good week for david. Or possibly foot and mouth scare. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, Topsie Date: 31 Oct 06 - 06:45 AM Actually, I prefer Giok's version. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John J Date: 31 Oct 06 - 06:44 AM Whaddyamean it's FICTION??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, Topsie Date: 31 Oct 06 - 06:20 AM For maximum drama, and subsequent agonising and soul-searching, Ruth will come to her senses the day after the big 'anniversary' episode, in which David will have caught her in flagrante in the cowshed. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 31 Oct 06 - 06:08 AM Usha Gupta will kidnap her, and keep her captive until she regains her senses. So we all have a long wait. Or maybe Sam will explode with desire, and make a nasty mess in the cowshed. Giok |

Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Folkiedave Date: 31 Oct 06 - 05:04 AM And when WILL Ruth come to her senses? Another week or so I reckon....... |

Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Anne Lister Date: 31 Oct 06 - 04:49 AM There are several American listeners who post on the message board on the BBC site, so we don't need to get too imperialist about it all. And some Aussies, too. But nothing quite beats being brought up with it - listening to the omnibus edition on a Sunday morning as we cleared away breakfast. A bit like watching Dr Who with toast and marmite on a Saturday evening.... And when WILL Ruth come to her senses? Anne |

Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST,ancient briton Date: 31 Oct 06 - 03:27 AM hearing the Archers is yet another benefit of membership of the Empire upon whic the sun never sets. You american chaps should have thought about that AB |

Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: MBSLynne Date: 31 Oct 06 - 03:06 AM Not JUST a fictional radio drama! It's the longest running soap in the world. In February it reaches it's 56th birthday. One of the original actors is still in it. Lots of English people have grown up with it from hearing it when their Mum's and Dad's (and grandparents) listened to it. Some of the characters are the great grandchildren of the originals. It's a soap with history! And something of a British institution. Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: terrier Date: 30 Oct 06 - 07:15 PM Can this thread be relocated to MUSTARD LAND ? Somebody told me that the Archers was only a piece of fictional radio drama! Can you believe it!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: MBSLynne Date: 30 Oct 06 - 03:43 PM It's bound to be Ed's fault..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: The Shambles Date: 30 Oct 06 - 12:03 PM Kate Rusby and John MaCusker have split |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST,Ancient Briton Date: 30 Oct 06 - 11:01 AM where I come from David and Sam would sort it out with 12-bores why do I listen to all that politically correct crap? but I still do |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 30 Oct 06 - 10:48 AM John Tregorran had an affair with Jennifer Aldridge!! G. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Bunnahabhain Date: 30 Oct 06 - 10:30 AM They won't get to 15000, they'll mysteriously lose 7000 or so somewhere.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Leadfingers Date: 30 Oct 06 - 10:28 AM Are they building up to something interesting for the fifteen thousandth edition next week ?? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST,Me Date: 30 Oct 06 - 10:27 AM Don't I remember a John Tregoran ? Could he have been responsible ? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 30 Oct 06 - 10:12 AM It'll all end in tears. G. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 30 Oct 06 - 10:09 AM Sam should heed the phantom cowman's warning. No good will come. Mark my words. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Skipjack K8 Date: 30 Sep 05 - 09:33 AM How did he remember there are some good bits coming, Lynne? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Skipjack K8 Date: 29 Sep 05 - 06:33 PM Emma is torturing Ed with her fantasy that he's the father of little George. It was Jack Woolley wot dunnit, but he can't remember! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: MBSLynne Date: 29 Sep 05 - 06:27 PM I stopped listening last time Hazel turned up, but I want to hear her get what's coming to her, and I don't mean Grey Gables! Go Lillian!! < Love Lynne |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: sian, west wales Date: 29 Sep 05 - 01:53 PM Nope - can't stand the woman to the point that I'm not listening so much now. siân |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: woodsie Date: 29 Sep 05 - 12:27 PM I think Hazel is right. I hope she squeezes every penny out of that senile tyrannical cretin Jack. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST,John J Date: 29 Sep 05 - 07:36 AM I reckon that Lillian is going to sort Hazel...a nasty piece of work. JJ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 29 Sep 05 - 06:51 AM And it's not even as funny as Coronation Street either! Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Crystal Date: 29 Sep 05 - 06:44 AM Is it just me or is the Archers becoming as credible as Eastenders now? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 29 Sep 05 - 06:36 AM Eddy's 21st already. I know its not real, but I remember him being born. Andnow poor Clarie, who has already suffered more hardships than anyone should, will see her family torn appart. Will there be a fight to the death by the bridge tonight? Oh no! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Steve Parkes Date: 10 Sep 03 - 05:13 AM Ah yes, I've heard some good ones. Saw him on This is your life though, and actually saw him act on a tv drama a while back. Not to mention Noel's House Party ... in fact, I wish I hadn't. Steve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 10 Sep 03 - 04:08 AM A little programme called With great Pleasure, on Radio4, in which an old or favoured actor is allowed to reminisce about his or her life and loves. Sometimes a boring programme, sometimes an uproarious romp. Charles fell somewhere between the two. Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Steve Parkes Date: 10 Sep 03 - 04:02 AM The next to come in is Charles Collingwood, He's a dirty old man and they bay for his blood ... Not Charles himself, of course, but his character. No, I missed him. What was it about? Steve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Mr Red Date: 09 Sep 03 - 05:02 PM Sorry to introduce a note of FOLK into all this but they are talking of another Barn Dance - as if they actually know the difference between E-ceilidh (English Ceildh) C&W. Not that I listen of course but the on/off switch is too far away while I am happytapping. FWIW I did listen to Charles Collingwood 2night at 6=30. Didn't everyone? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST,Phil Archer Date: 09 Sep 03 - 04:30 AM I think it't Linda Snell's Llamas They're having kinky sex & S&M with the horses |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: vectis Date: 08 Sep 03 - 06:37 PM OHMEGOD I got Eddie too. It's the cider and song questions wat did it. Clive is covering up for the highly disturbed Amy. He's obviously besotted with her. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Dave Bryant Date: 08 Sep 03 - 12:26 PM Perhaps Clive likes fresh horsemeat steaks ...or perhaps he's a vampire ! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Steve Parkes Date: 08 Sep 03 - 08:43 AM Clive Horabin (should that ebe "Horrorbin"?) is Susan Carter's ne'er-do-well brother, who disappeared into the murky underworld kens of the Big Smoke (London to the innocent and ignorant). Last time he was around she got six months for sheltering him. This time she should murder hiom and bury his body under the patio. I think The Archers is the only Soap where nobody's done this yet. (They did it for real in Walsall, where I came from!) I still think mytheory is in with a chance; Clive was probably sacrificing chickens or goats (or horses) to Mammon. Steve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: sian, west wales Date: 07 Sep 03 - 10:21 AM Yeh - but Clive obviously didn't know that the farm had changed hands since he's been 'inside' so ... (Don't even really know who Clive is, except for what my neighbour's now told me. He was packed off before I started listening ...) sian |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Skipjack K8 Date: 07 Sep 03 - 09:02 AM Ah well, Clive met up with Leo in chokey, and Leo has promised Clive a ficticious fortune if Clive can ruin nasty Alistair, who, after all, ran off with their business after Leo had been caught doing a line or two of poets Persil. Personally, I never forgave Alistair for executing Doctor Richard, who was the only one who really made Saint Shula wriggle. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 07 Sep 03 - 06:42 AM It's just circumstantial. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: MBSLynne Date: 06 Sep 03 - 11:52 AM What other reason is there for wandering around the countryside at night carrying a knife and with your clothes all covered in blood!!! If Clive didn't do it, what had he been doing?? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 06 Sep 03 - 07:05 AM It wasn't Clive wot dun it! Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST,JTT Date: 05 Sep 03 - 01:09 PM Ar, I'm Eddie Grundy, and I've a bone to pick with you scriptwroiters. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST,Skipjack Date: 05 Sep 03 - 11:30 AM It's the old Ketamine getting to him, taking revenge on the closest thing to nasty Leo for ruining his life? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST,Skipjack Date: 05 Sep 03 - 11:18 AM So you're odds-on for Jazzer, then, Sian. Interesting! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Noreen Date: 05 Sep 03 - 10:19 AM Glad to see you have a heart, Ralphie... :0) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: sian, west wales Date: 05 Sep 03 - 08:49 AM OK - so the closing line is, "Oh my God. It's YOU!" Who, then? I'm fairly new to The Archers but I thought Ed's ratty friend whassisname said that it was Ed what waz doin' the slashin'. Last call for bets ... sian |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Steve Parkes Date: 05 Sep 03 - 08:19 AM Of course it's real, Ralphie! Only Countryfile is made-up. Steve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Ralphie Date: 05 Sep 03 - 05:43 AM ....You mean....It's not real??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Ralphie Date: 05 Sep 03 - 05:42 AM I just think it's amazing that they all turn up every evening, and every luchtime, to tell us about their lives, and then, get up on a Sunday morning, to do it all again.....in case we missed a bit.... Am I missing something here? |
