How are we going to cope without The Archers?

Galaxy that is superkind of you. I knew if I turned my back I would miss something really memorable - sex scene with Linda.....mind aboggling now. I guess I will have to stifle boredom & listen again for odd gems. What about Kirsty & Philip, has he been found out yet??

In a nutshell Galaxy!

Alice quit her job before she was fired and has a drink problem
Adam had an accident on the tractor and Alice is filling in for him at home farm.
Linda is getting better but still struggling with back pain and upset she cant do things she used to. I am not telling you about the failed sex scene.
Fallon is needing to make cuts as the tea room is losing money and completely inexplicably helen is refusing to maintain the rent freeze/cut. Talk of Emma loosing her job but may have avoided that.
Emma chair of flower and produce committee, wanting to do show virtually, she seems to be gaining confidence despite returning to dreary Ed.
Susan has a radio show and keeps telling Neil's sex secrets or getting drunk on air - I think this is supposed to be comedy.
Brookfield is too boring to mention
Brian is being quite helpful with regard to the farm and adam
Adam and ian have realised they will need childcare for Xander.
Tim oatey was arrested by the dynamic Harrison for fly tipping after a sting operation led by joy who was irritated as Tim had conned her into giving him rubbish which ended up in Brookfield land which resulted in her having a tedious lecture from david.
I have put my own spin on it but I think that's most of it .
Have I forgotten anyone?

The storyline in looking forward to is the one concerning Philip and the slave labour!

Sorry Greeneyedgirl but everyone in Ambridge is still wandering around talking to themselves.

I still miss TA and wonder if anything meaningful in the way of births, marriages and deaths is happening. If the one person who has stuck with it, is reading this, can you please post a quick summary, so I will be up to date if ever resumes normal service?

I can’t believe it was May 1st when I posted on this topic. Well over three months ago! I have stopped listening. It was painless. But I still hope The Archers as we once knew them return some day.

Merlot, I am just listening to my recording of the omnibus. I am glad I had read your post, because I wouldn't have interpreted the 'horrorfest' as harvest! It would have puzzled me.

Find it difficult to understand how Coronation street has managed to continue filming keeping normal story lines running, whilst The Archers, - no pictures just radio has not been able to do so.
Have virtually given up listening - as I usually had no idea who was wittering on about what - and cared less.
On Feedback, this week, it was said that they were protecting some very elderly actors in this - I can accept that, and would understand if they were not used at the time time (same as Corrie is not using child actors), just referred to. But cannot understand with so much technology why normal scrips cannot be followed.
BRING BACK THE ARCHERS before it loses ALL its faithful audiance.

The 'Ooh ar Ooh ar' accents always make me laugh but Chris Carter pronouncing Harvest as Horrorfest was a cracker!

Me too Lully. Why can’t Brian and Shula be on together? Surely they have been together in lockdown in real life! At least Emma is being realistic with the virtual Flower and Produce, but I may have stopped listening before that

Bring back The Archers , enough furlough for the lot of them. It makes little sense now. I sadly keep listening in the hope it will improve . But model railways says it all.

What's the betting Fallon will get broody after taking care of niece? Are we about due for another unable-to-conceive storyline?

Or Harrison will be broody and she won't, resulting in all sorts of tensions and a break up?

I know BBC local radio stations are running on a very thin shoestring but even the poorest of them would surely not sink so low as to hire Soosan, however cheap her hourly rate!

It's dire and there doesn't seem to be much Lockdown going on.

Thought I’d give it a second chance so tuned in whilst driving over to my mum’s.

Model train sets............nuf said ?

Listening to Alice tonight had me wondering if it was too early for a

You lot have got me listening again to find out who the fly tipper is

I thought the same, Lully. I'll find out in 18 minutes or so ☺.

I thought it could be Philip.

I'm still listening but cross that once again Ed Grundy is getting all the bad breaks.

I bet Tim Oatey is the fly tipper.

I don’t know anyone who has stuck with it, so they must have haemorrhaged listeners.

I am one of them Kate 54 - so dull!

But at least Alice is about to be exposed as having a drink problem..... meanwhile, why hasn’t the BBC announced a return date? Unbelievable. Many listeners will have been lost.

First Harrison and now Alice. Can anyone really deliver a monologue while cleaning their teeth?

The question was "How are we going to cope without the Archers?" .

As time goes by it seems we have no choice. Surely it was not above the wit of man to sort out something more like normal. Others have done it. Yawn, yawn. Come on BBC get your act together and stop being so lethargic.
