Archers Addicts 5 !!!!!

Brilliant Emma - I was shouting at the radio for her to mention Kate and Alice

Good for you ,Emma! We'll said.
Jennifer's girls were given houses by their parents.
Good, realistic story line on how difficult it is for young people to get a house these days.

Pregnancy test with sound effects

I'm finding the story line about Emma and Ed and the affordable housing really interesting - I thought Emma's lines tonight sounded very authentic

Oh Phoebe! I thought she was such a good girl!

Time for Matt to meet with a suspiciousaccident?
Where is Rob Titchener when you need him?

What on earth has happened to sensible Phoebe??

Phoebe. S.T.D??

So far they have 40% 'affordable' on the plan but sadly it is often the case that so called affordable isn't as suzied suggests.

What's the betting Ed n Emmerr can't afford the "affordable homes"

Similar in my village too GG but the proposed houses arn't homes that Ed & Emma might want but huge detached (more profit).

Just had a very odd experience which made me wonder exactly where I was. There was an exhibition in our village hall of plans (yet to be submitted) for some new houses.

Oh the nimbyism! I think it was when one women said 'do they know the amount of agricultural traffic we get through the village' that my mouth engage before my brain and I said 'they really are going to have to build somewhere'. The looks! Lynda Snell eat your heart out! At that point I felt I had been kidnapped and moved to Ambridge This slow traffic (on the odd occasion it happens) is on the main village road which is the road between two towns.

The we heard about the bodies that one lady had been told were there ... dum de dum de dum de dum ...

Gambling again?

What is Alastair up to?

I'm very worried about Harrison - I want him to go to a solicitor to safeguard his contribution to buying the house in case ( perish the thought) things don't work out.

What a great episode tonight. Laughed all the way through it. Jill, Brian and a pissed up choir.

Brilliant!

Just found this thread.....Hilarious! I LOVE the Archers.....my husband groans every night that I put it on as I doze off listening to the latest goings on in Ambridge....I often have to re listen the next day as I fell asleep!! Jill and the Flapjack made me chuckle!!

The Archers have at last acknowledged Brexit with the current storyline about the pickers' caravans graffiti attacks. Perhaps it has been mentioned before but I'm more of a casual listener these days as it has become so boring.

Matt exploited Alistairs's gambling addiction, taking thousands from him at poker, and then bought back his IOUs as a means of blackmailing him to dope a racehorse. When said horse was injured Matt wanted Alistair to put it down but A wouldn't, and ended up remortgaging his house to repay Matt.

Oooh, I'd forgotten that!

Didn't Alistair try to pay his gambling debts by (almost?) getting involved in a horse doping scheme. It may have involved himtaking drugs from his own practice.

I think it was to do with Alistair's gambling too but I can't remember the details.

Wasn't it when Alistair was gambling with a group including Matt?

Can someone clue me in please? What is the history between Alistair and the dreaded Matt? Why has this pulled his chain?

That was the bit MB.
