Rolo Rabbit Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Are there any of you out there? I'm asking because I only ever get to 'listen again' while I do my ironing so if I don't do the ironing I sometimes miss a whole weeks worth of excitement and, as you can imagine, an awful lot can happen in a week in Ambridge. So it would be handy to have someone I can get all the juicy gossip from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Well I'm a confirmed addict - but I tend to catch up with the Omnibus, so not the best source of gossip! I believe there are a few others out there who enjoy listening to this everyday tale of country folk ... Tessa, you're another 'believer' aren't you? Love 'em, hate 'em - the Archers have always been part of my life, and I hope they always will be. I only have one friend who is an addict, and we have lengthy conversations aboutt hem to the bemusement of all our other friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have listened on and off all my life. I have missed about a week and a half at the moment. OH usually puts it on his internet radio when we go to bed but he hasn't done for a couple of weeks must ask him why I met Eddie Grundy once, Iam not one for autograph hunting and celebrity, but this was Eddie Grundy, he was really friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I used to listen avidly when the Siobhan/Brian thing was going on, but haven't listened in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chili pepper Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My step dad used to listen to it all the time. Couldn't stand him or him me, the theme music just takes me back - gives me the shivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yep big Archers fan here. Although I have been a bit bored/irritated with some of the story lines lately Jennifer has always got right up my nose, and she doesn't get any better with age. Am quite enjoying the mixed marriage fiasco at the moment. Nigel and Linda Snell are my favourite characters, and of course good old Eddie and his long suffering wife Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Me Me Me ! I'm afraid I'm addicted but often forget to listen in time to the listen again thing unless there is an incredibly juicy story line going on. That reminds me - must catch up. The time it's on always clashes with bedtime/bathtime. I moved to a village a couple of years ago and practically cried with excitement when I saw the sign for the village show just after we moved. I have learnt to make jam and even won the housecraft cup last autumn (still in shock!!!) The first time I entered, one of my jams was the only one in the catagory, but I still only got 3rd place for it! With hindsight it was probably deserved though!

WitchHazel Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Me! Don't forget that you can always catch up by reading the synopsis on teh archers website http://www.thearchers.co.uk/archers/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=4&tabid=89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 that music always reminds me of a Billy Connolly show where he said it should be the new national anthem & did a micky take of the opening parade of the olympics very funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Rabbit Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Oooh! Glad there are a few of us!! I do sometimes look at the synopsis, Witch Hazel, but sometimes there's a particular scene that I know I've missed. I'm furious that I missed the one where Taylor was cross-examined by the prosecution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I hated the Taylor/Cathy storyline, it just seemed to drag on and on Just heard on the news that the actress that played Mrs. Antrobus on the Archers died today aged 93.

Olly Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Mind you, poor old Marjorie Antrobus has been lingering in a nursing home for years. I love Eddie, Clarrie and Matt the wicked property developer. I'm afraid if I lived in Ambridge I'd be sick of the sanctimonious Archers. There's an Archer in everything and most of them no better than they ought to be! Ooh, not forgetting Lillian - now there's a woman after my own heart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'm an addict too. I listen in the evening, next day too if I can, and always the Omnibus. I even listen again if it's a particularly good story. As my friend says....... sadsadsadsadsad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Poor Marjorie, do you think that they will let her go peacefully from the Archers too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Rabbit Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm trying to remember what happened when Nelson died in real life... Or am I misremembering and did he only die in Ambridge. Apologies to him if he's still alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I get to hear it rather spasmodically, in the car, if I've finished work by 2!! It's not too bad tho' but after a week of missed, I lose the plot(more than usual!!) Never thought I'd reach the age where radio 4 and classic fm were on preset ... feel old!!
