i quite agree. i had forgotten about that interlude.

i suppose with the history between shula and usha and with richard they were never going to be friends again. poor alan stuck in the middle of this.

peggy and shula are made from the same cloth.

Haha She'd be straight off to Dignitas if you had your way!

The pettiness re. being very conservative in church matters was and is very tedious, but very realistic.
Rural churches have lots of figures like them

I've always thought Shula was a prig - though I thought Usha was pretty spiteful when all the church stuff was happening. Just lately though Shula has seemed ok and I sympathise with how she must feel about Daniel joining the army. I'm already worried he'll be sent to Afghanistan and be killed, so what must it be like for her?

And yes, I do know they're not real

I loved Pat telling Tony to shut up on Friday

Yeah it was quite savage, and what I'd been saying all week!

'Twas back to the usual Ambridge amble in today's ep, i.e. cake judging, village fete, and Linda being Linda.

Tony still being a complete dickhe@d tonight.

No TB on Bridge Farm - good thing, but he just seemed to be overjoyed at having proved Tom wrong.... a tad distasteful considering Tom might be lying in a gutter somewhere.

I wouldn't say Tony has had a complete character transplant but he does seem to have changed for the worse since his illness.

Amidst all the drama, hand-wringing etc that is surrounding the ghastly Tom; Ben etc, won't someone please spare a thought for the man who is really suffering, without complaint (well, slight exaggeration there) in The Archers

I'm talking about Brian and his sciatica. And, if that wasn't enough, he's having to put up with the kitchen re-fit, too. What a noble chap he is

BIB: Yes it's a new actor. See here for the explanation...

Thankyou. That was brilliant I remember when Pat was involved with the women's movement and CND.

Is Roy making a play for Elizabeth, what with inviting her to a music festival and all?

what a thought.

jenny and her flippin kitchen.

The kitchen has become an almighty tool of social gaffes!

Tony still hasn't learned his lesson, even now they know Tom is OK, what an arse

Looks like it. Wonder what type local talent will play in Ambridge.

Was Charlie just hitting on Adam in the tractor cab?!

Haven't heard yet, but will listen out for that!

it just all seemed a little coy and bizarre.... and ended up with Charlie saying "There's a lot you don't know about me".

I was more interested in finding out that ferret fanciers clip their little beauties!

A year or so ago, turned out john had a son richard who they met briefly.

Have you had a reply. He went back to wales, so split up from fallon, which is how she got to know the copper. Romance brewing there.

One other thing. A long while ago either john or tom was in a relation with haley, who was doing a load of work with the pigs, i think.

At the time i thought she had been treated really badly, as it seemed they got rid of her to avoid giving her a share of the business.

She and roy are very happy. I doubt if roy wants to have a fling with lizzie.

I love twitter when the show is airing in the evenings
