Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: JHW Date: 21 Dec 11 - 07:27 AM Was the Higgs Bosun particle named by Jack Wooley? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 21 Dec 11 - 05:29 AM One of the better parodies. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Leadfingers Date: 21 Dec 11 - 05:11 AM And the song Jazzer WANTS to sing is Hamlish Imlach's rewrite of 'As Usual' , Brenda Lee's Hit recording ! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: the lemonade lady Date: 09 Dec 11 - 12:57 PM Can't wait to hear jazzer singing again, he's wonderful. Sal |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Dec 11 - 12:01 PM Has any one else noticed that one of the members of the Borchester Land board is named Martin Gibson ? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 09 Dec 11 - 11:15 AM I certainly cheered aloud when Sharon, set drippy Pat to rights, the other evening. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Skipjack K8 Date: 09 Dec 11 - 10:06 AM Now we're limbering up for the first anniversary of Nigel's ill-advised teeter along the ridge tiles, I thought it was high time this gem was returned to the top of the charts. Wasn't that a storming performance by Sharern, mother of Koyloi and the yet-to-be-unveiled Rich the other night? Quite how Koyloi turned out to be such a charming young lady is a mystery, spawned from loins of aggravated-manslaughterer Cloive Horrobin, but we'll give that to the nurture-over-nature brigade and the steady stepfatherhood of the equally-yet-to-be-unveiled Eamon. And just while I'm getting a year's worth of Ambridge conspiracy theories off me chest, who agrees with me that the Bridge Farm salmonella disaster was in fact caused by Sewzerne, and not that poor 'dirty woman' Clarroi? Another sleeper, that one, mark my words.... |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Morticia Date: 03 Jan 11 - 02:13 PM blimey, they really did kill him off..... |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, topsie Date: 02 Jan 11 - 05:21 PM BBC Radio 4 news said there were 'life-changing events' for two of the major characters, Helen and Nigel - which suggests he isn't dead, or it would be life-changing for his family rather than him, what with the death duties they'd have to pay. Maybe he'll be in a wheelchair and they can have lots of 'public information' about 'disability'. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Van Date: 02 Jan 11 - 04:49 PM So what did happen? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 02 Jan 11 - 04:03 PM He's not the real Nigel anyway. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Michael Date: 02 Jan 11 - 03:02 PM After all that build up it seems a silly story, two grown men doing something really stupid and presumably killing Nigel (and possibly David). Mike |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Herga Kitty Date: 02 Jan 11 - 02:33 PM I think that might be the last we've heard from Nigel....? Fingers crossed that Helen and Henry continue to thrive! Kitty |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Morticia Date: 02 Jan 11 - 02:29 PM OMFG! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, topsie Date: 02 Jan 11 - 01:03 PM And the advert that appeared above that post on my screen was for "Queer as Folk" - do they read the posts before choosing which to include? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, topsie Date: 02 Jan 11 - 10:08 AM I thought Helen was a lesbian way back when she was being mysterious about her love life before she revealed that the secret lover was Greg - I was convinced it would turn out to be a girlfriend. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 02 Jan 11 - 09:52 AM My partner has the idea that Helen will have her baby, and it will turn out the donor sperm was mislabelled, and the baby will be black. My guess is the death of a big charcter, like Nigel, or Debbie might be finally written off. I'd like Susan and Linda to run off with Helen, to live in a lesbian menage a trois. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, topsie Date: 02 Jan 11 - 08:50 AM The trailers are promising something spectacular this evening - "Ambridge will never be the same again . . ." My guess is Helen will miscarry, Tony will be unable to hide his delight, and the field will be open for Ian to become a daddy. Any other suggestions? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: theleveller Date: 26 Mar 10 - 07:03 PM "It's not the turkey Helen wants, it's the stuffing" OMG I've just wet mesen. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 26 Mar 10 - 05:20 PM It's not the turkey Helen wants, it's the stuffing! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Mavis Enderby Date: 26 Mar 10 - 03:09 PM Indeed. I keep waiting for Pat to say "oh, by the way, we're having turkey for easter" and the penny to drop. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 26 Mar 10 - 01:54 PM Lots of the characters are made to do things alien to their normal behaviour, in order to further the scripts. Some of the plot devices are so clunky it makes you wince. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: theleveller Date: 26 Mar 10 - 08:44 AM Is it just me or are the scripts getting more and more trite and stilted? They sound like they're being written by an eldely maiden aunt living in sheltered accomodation in Cheltenham Spa who really needs to get out more. Real people just don't talk like that! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST Date: 26 Mar 10 - 07:21 AM If the child isn't a baster could it be a turkey? Mike |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, topsie Date: 26 Mar 10 - 05:00 AM Kate has problems of her own. I reckon Lucas has more than one wife. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Leadfingers Date: 25 Mar 10 - 09:28 PM Kate can still blow the story dont forget !! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Mar 10 - 03:38 PM Just because the child's mother and father won't be married, that's no reason to call it a baster! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Morticia Date: 25 Mar 10 - 01:44 PM No-one ever accused The Archers of subtlety. Doubt Adam would be keen though. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Michael Date: 25 Mar 10 - 01:42 PM It's been so obvious from the start, not only has Ian know all about Helen's plans from the start, he's already been screened prior to his previous abortive (Sorry didn't intend that)attempt with Maggs. Mike |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, topsie Date: 25 Mar 10 - 11:35 AM Keith, you just made me spill my tea! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 25 Mar 10 - 11:16 AM Suppose they mixed up the turkey basters at Grey Gables. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, topsie Date: 25 Mar 10 - 11:05 AM But last time it came to nothing - just anguish and disappointment. This time it could be successful, and they could by-pass the clinic and save Helen a load of money. Or maybe they could just have Helen making arrangements over the 'phone and not let on who she's talking to, then they could play 'Guess the Father' like they did years back with Jennifer. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 25 Mar 10 - 10:38 AM No, the gay sperm doner story has been done already, remember. I would offer had I not had the snip. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST Date: 25 Mar 10 - 10:32 AM How many episodes will it take before Helen realises that she already knows a 'nice' young man who might be persuaded to supply a small bottle of the required substance? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Morticia Date: 13 Nov 09 - 03:37 PM Too late for Sidmouth...harsh. Who reckons Leon is on the make then? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Herga Kitty Date: 13 Nov 09 - 03:06 PM So, Matt's due for release on 12 August 2010 (at the earliest).... Kitty |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Jos Date: 08 Oct 09 - 12:06 PM That financial adviser of Brian's sounds suspiciously like Ryan from AA, who stole things from Alistair - I can't remember if he went to gaol, but if he did he must have been let out. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: John MacKenzie Date: 14 Sep 09 - 12:56 PM I thought Brian was usually on the fiddle? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Darowyn Date: 14 Sep 09 - 12:49 PM No silly, it's two guitars they are talking about. They are going to perform as a folk duo, with Jennifer playing a Martin, and Brian on a Gibson. Obvious! Cheers Dave PS We've moved and don't live in Borsetshire any more. Still well south of Coronation Street, and east of Hollyoaks though. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: sian, west wales Date: 14 Sep 09 - 12:30 PM What? Brian & Jennifer are having Martin Gibson over for lunch? OUR Martin Gibson? sian |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Noreen Date: 11 Sep 09 - 05:21 PM Who was that at the Dower House and what has he done with the real Matt Crawford? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Noreen Date: 03 Jul 09 - 12:27 PM :0) |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: greg stephens Date: 03 Jul 09 - 10:30 AM All a load of bollocks these stories, they are invented by Vanessa Whitburn. Actually Matt and Lilian are fine, going through a spot of bother but taking it on the chin, as are the rest of the cast, Shula still goes to church, Mike's new lady is getting on extremely well with Brenda, Jazzer is still using his own accent instead of the recently added cail-yardery, and Brian is not actually at all curious about what he feels about the rest of the inhabitatants feelings about their feelings about other peoples' feelings. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: GUEST, topsie Date: 03 Jul 09 - 09:33 AM Has anybody noticed any flies hovering above the Dower House? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: vectis Date: 26 Jun 09 - 06:29 PM I don't believe it! She's left him.. Omigod... This cannot possibly be the end And the blood on his collar... Watch this space |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Leadfingers Date: 25 Jun 09 - 06:44 PM How DO we stand the suspense ?? Neil going bust , Mike Tucker being suckerd ? and Matt as well !! |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 25 Jun 09 - 05:42 PM I am sure there is nothing between him and Pip! We will no more when he gets back tomorow. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: Morticia Date: 25 Jun 09 - 12:54 PM he doesn't have a passport but I suppose he's the type that would know how to 'fix' that. I hope he has pushed off, personally he gives me the pip. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Archers UK Soap From: theleveller Date: 25 Jun 09 - 10:28 AM Nah! He'll be sunning himself on a beach in Rio. |
