I still maintain that it's that there Lamacq putting on a yokel accent cause 6 Music aren't paying him enough.

You have to remember I'm fairly new to the Archers since acquiring a digital radio that has some semblance of listenable sound quality inside the PC-infested college buildings!

So what happened with this accident? It doesn't seem to have had any lasting effect on Emma ...

So far as I remember Ed and Emm have always had a bit of a thing and Ed in his wilder days took Emm out for a ride in a car and swerved to avoid a deer and crashed causing damage to Emms leg. It caused untold hurt and problems and Ems Dad did not want the Grundys to have anything to do with his daughter.

I thnk Em has always had health problems and was premature of something.

Does anyone remember when Chrstopher was born with a hare lip how his mum rejected him..what happened there did he have an op?

 

[KeyboardJockey]

What about James Bellamy returning. That charachter has wanker written all over him. The way he fussed and faffed over the mud on his 4x4

I also don't belive that his business is doing as well as he is saying it is.

Something very shifty about James Bellamy, maybe he is being groomed to be the next Nelson Gabriel?

How old is James supposed to be? ...and yes agree he's definetly going to be a wrongun..you could tell by the luke warm response Peggy gave to Lillian about his return to Ambridge.

iirr he'd nicked will's car as well. Tho he then did bravely risk his life to save hers.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

....but then Em developed Compartment Syndrome as a result of her injuries....not only agonising but potentially fatal.....

Compartment syndrome (CS) is a limb-threatening and life-threatening condition observed when perfusion pressure falls below tissue pressure in a closed anatomic space. The current body of knowledge unequivocally reflects that untreated CS leads to tissue necrosis, permanent functional impairment, and, if severe, renal failure and death.

Oh and Will's car was a write-off

[sparkling]

What a brilliant link Mrs M. I've just spent a happy five minutes finding out all about the silent characters.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

There was a rumour a few years ago, when all Sinn Féin speeches etc were proscribed, that Pru Forrest and Higgs were members of a banned organisation and that was why they never spoke on air...I've always been deeply suspicious of that Freda Fry, meself....
btw, hasn't Phil Archer aged suddenly in the last few weeks?

 

[ecadre]

"arrogant p p p plank"

Ooooh er, swearing on the Archers

 

[belboid]

who/what is it that's just died?

 

[Wolfie]

it's Linda's afghan hound (actually an afghan cross - the result of Nelson Gabriel's dog getting in with one of Marjorie's gals IIRC )

 

[belboid]

aah, okay. I really don't care then, ta.

 

[belboid]

they haven't even done risk assesments at the riding school!

they should be shut down till they have!

No, they should all be shot, it's the only way to put a stop to Shula's whining!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

So...if Matt Crawford's ex, Yvette now has the cottage as part of the divorce settlement does that mean she'll move into Ambridge? I predict a brawl on the Village Green between Matt's laydeez.....

 

[trashpony]

Would love it if Yvette moved to Ambridge but do adult characters that haven't had voices get them? I know the kids do (and while I'm on the subject - what is going on with Daniel's voice???) but have there ever been instances of silent adults suddenly speaking?

 

[hendo]

Sometimes. Jean Paul the bonkers French chef at Grey Gables acquired a voice and much fun was to be had as he castigated Caroline for her lack of commitment to the kitchen.

I once heard Higgs give a terifying laugh as he chased Shula around the Grey Gables pool.

I think Shane in Nelson's wine bar was silent but then surfaced, then disappeared again, as did Tim Beecham, Nigel's gorilla suit wearing friend.

And Pru Forrest, the most famous of silent characters, was voiced by Judi dench on an infamous occasion. Bit cloying really.

 

[davesgcr]

Apart from the ultra annoying Peggy.

House proud "Jailbird" Carter - could do with a few escaped pigs rampaging through the house to give her soething to worry aboiut !

That and the collapse of the sausage empire ...

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Annette Badland is brilliant as that scheming bitch Hazel Wooley. I've been fretting for poor Jack all week....

 

[rubbershoes]

that scheming bitch Hazel Wooley.

she reminds me of my ex-stepmother


manipulator par excellence

The Archers is getting good at the moment. I really feel for Jack and I wonder if there is going to be a huge Peggy and Hazel stand up row. Jacks caught in the middle of two women both seeing how Jack is deteriorating and each manouvering for position but with two opposite motives - great.

I reckon that the Tom / Brian thing is all going to end in tears.

I can just imagine Hazel in charge of Caroline at Grey Gables.

 

[belboid]

well, you don't get more up to the minute than that!

And, Hazel must die!!

 

[trashpony]

Truly excellent storyline - impressively twisted.

How are they going to get rid of her? Evil, evil, evil. She makes Coriander look like Mary Poppins!

[trashpony]

Sorry - Coriander = Robert Snell's evil daughter. The plant rarely looks like Ms P IME.

 

[belboid]

aah yes! but it was Leonie who was the evil one wasn't it?
