The Archers W/c 13 March

[Ric.ror]

I will try not to put any spoilers on but the current Rob/Helen story line is just getting better and better (not for Helen though - who I never liked but even now am starting to feel sorry for).
I really hope there is a locking of horns with Tom too before Rob gets his (inevitable) comeuppance
Shame life is not always that simple

I wondered why Charlie never dropped him in it about the dodgy books, there was no love lost between them.

[Hopkirk]

Has Charlie gone for good, or will he be back?

[mikey4444]

I think Charlie will return in the future....I rather liked him.

[melv16]

Dr Lock might come to the rescue. Does anyone think that Kirstie will have a word with him?

[Hopkirk]

Dr Lock is wet rag. Don't pin your hopes on him doing anything useful. I'm just waiting to see which of the women of Ambridge he will team up with. Shula? Elizabeth? Lillian?

[mikey4444]

I think Lillian is busy elsewhere Hoppy ! And he's already had his turn with Shula.

[Hopkirk]

Elizabeth it is then.

[mikey4444]

Will someone please give me directions to Ambridge, and where is that ruddy shotgun !

in addition, will someone give Pat a nudge with a cattle prod please !

[zebo]

Not heard tonight's yet but I find Pat's acceptance of the situation most puzzling, she has stood by and let Ursula take her role. Got the radio iplayer installed, can't have this resolved while I'm meeting Mickey Mouse!

[mikey4444]

Arson ?

[melv16]

Arson? Rob?

[bookbinder]

Arson? Rob? Is that likely?

[mikey4444]

No, not Rob. But if it wasn't arson, how else would this new chicken shed catch fire ?

[melv16]

I'll stick my neck out and say it was Rob who dunnit.

[hellywelly4]

Radio Times for next week says that Blossom Hill Cottage is the scene of more domestic horrors as Rob's irritation flares hen Helen acts without his knowledge. By the end of the week Helen is discovering some grim truths.
Perhaps the end is near?

[mikey4444]

My best bet is that Helen is going to lose the baby somehow....perhaps she might fall, trying to get away from Rob ?

[jourdain2]

Are they sure the chicken hut is arson? Could it be something to do with the mechanism for automatically opening and shutting the pop-holes? As for the Titchener situation, I don't know, I really don't - there are so many horrors spring to mind.

[mikey4444]

Jourdain...If my memory serves me correctly, the mechanism was operated by a small battery, so its possible but unlikely that it wasn't arson. We should know in a few days, when the Fire Brigade have completed their investigations.

As for the Rob-Helen story line, it is getting more unbelievable as time moves on. There is no way that Pat would stand around and not look after her daughter a little more, despite Robs' wily ways. I hope that the scriptwriters get to a denouement before its gets even more silly.....to be frank, its starting to irritate me ! ( but I shall still listen though )

[mikey4444]

So it was arson after all !

[bookbinder]

As regards arson at the Fairbrothers' hen hut, I reckon somebody ought to keep an eye on Alf Grundy.
