New February Archers Thread !

Here it is !

Is Brian really getting windy, or is he just being a drama queen ?

[Hopkirk]

I'm more worried about Nigel.

[Hopkirk]

Sorry, Neil.

[mikey4444]

Susan reckons its only a sniffle, so I have little doubt that it will be bubonic plague by the middle of next week !

[Hopkirk]

I fear worse then that.

RIP Neil?

[mikey4444]

He could be the first fatality of Brian's buried drums !

[zebo]

Is Neil maybe allergic to that kafafi stuff that Susan's been brewing? Whatever he's got it'll be the up-market version, according to Susan. I expected Kirsty to try and blame her miscarriage on Brian's leak, still time I suppose.

[Hopkirk]

I don't think Pip or Lexi will miscarry though. The scriptwriters have used their quota on Ruth and Kirsty.

[zebo]

Can we assume that Brian is no longer Businessman of the Year?? Is there a queue to slap Kirsty? If not, I'm starting one!

[mikey4444]

It seems that already The Echo has now dropped Brian from its " Rural Fat Cat of the Year" like a red hot brick, and not before time !

[bookbinder]

A new editor for the programme is on the way! I hope that he can remove some of the doom and gloom, and make it more of 'an everyday story of countryfolk.'

I do hope so. I haven't listened this week, it was so tedious.

Can anyone tell me who this 'Philip' is. He seems to have arrived as a foil for Kirstie. I missed too many episodes to catch up on when I was a) away and b) ill. Some sort of developer?

[jourdain2]

Thanks bookbinder, up to speed now.

[Hopkirk]

Zebo, I can't agree with slapping anyone, unless I'm allowed to use a wet fish.

There are however several characters I would do it to before Kirsty.

Josh, Alice, Nic and Will are on my hitlist. Kate would be but she's in South Africa.
Toby appeared high up on the list, but he's becoming a bit of a reformed character. Before too long he is going to become best buddies with David.

[zebo]

David and Josh on a lad's night out, getting wasted on the fancy gin at the Bull, oh yes please. The new editor ought to invite suggestions on storylines, we could have a great programme as we all seem to know what's wrong with it, don't we!

[jourdain2]

Shall we start an 'Archers Script' thread?

[Hopkirk]

How long until Rob Titchener reappears?

[jourdain2]

Just as soon as everything has settled down and life is set fair, Hoppy. :)

[Hopkirk]

Oh, and then there's Matt.
