Don't get me wrong, I don't hate all young people but I can't stand the ones on The Archers. I don't know who any of them are and I couldn't care less.


Nelson Gabriel hasn't been on for ages. Black sheets on the washing line, who's doing the flowers for the church, the love that dare not speak its name AND tractors.


Now that's soap.

John Archer was worse. The writers, to their credit, killed him off beneath the old grey Fordson.


Sadly the family sold the Fordson, so another means will have to be found to do away with the big-headed younger brother.


Bringing Walter Gabriel back could help Tom's demise. Haunted and hounded by the spirit of Walter, driven to shoot himself with a 12 bore on the very spot that his older brother was squished to death. That would learn him.

I used to watch most of the soaps at one time or other and Brookside was so funny and gritty but the Archers is the only one I stick with. The Eastenders take over of Archers was just a nasty rumour but if it ever did get as miserable as EASTENDERS I would stop listening to that too!

Kirsty, Rhys, Harry, Fallon and Freddie P are all OK but they're mostly irritating. Special mentions for Emma, who seems to be turning into her mother (Will will live to bless the day she left him), and Lily P who is seriously annoying and one suspects can only get worse. Presumably it's going to get a lot sillier now that they've got an editor who's come from Eastenders, Holby City etc. For me they've been on borrowed time since they killed off Nigel. Don't they realise that the Archers is supposed to be about the everyday life of farming folk?

Fantastic bit of Radio 4 science programme trivia for you.


When David pushed Nigel off the roof, the length of Nigel's scream could be used to calculate the height of the roof from which he fell.


Thus the Pargeter Family's stately home has a height that is somewhat greater than that of York Minster!


Which means that they have some of the longest ladders in the country.

Or maybe his sweater caught a thread, thus slowing him down somewhat


Therefore reducing his velocity & prolonging the fall


Maybe


*tries to work out amount of wool required to make said sweater*

Or perhaps his tweed jacket caught an updraught on the way down, creating a kind of parachute that slowed the descent?

    • Yes, been on several over the last 12 years. They are one of the safest planes ever built. The Dreamliner has been in service since 2011 and currently about 1,150 are in operation every day. Safe as houses.
    • One of them climbed a tree and was breaking branches off and lobbing them at people as they walked underneath (myself included). When I stopped, looking shaken, they laughed at me.  Then they moved to near the cafe, climbed onto the roof and lobbed a beer bottle, a shoe, and various other things off the roof. One nearly hit a woman sitting there.  Needless to say they ran off just as I was calling the police. 
    • My thoughts exactly when I found them I was thinking hope she is OK, have a feeling her bag was maybe snatched and then these items were just thrown.. I'm sure the police will pass it on to the passport office I just didn't have the time to get over there anytime soon. And agree they wasn't very helpful at all unfortunately I felt I was causing a problem with just handing them in !!
    • I recently had plumbing issues which required urgent attention . I looked up this forum and found a recommendation for Andy Burke , He heard my pleas , turned up quickly and sorted  the problem .  He was also good to deal with,  hence the recommendation .  Contact details -  Andy Burke Plumber ,  07983688451
