Silly putty, an undressed salmon and a filthy imagination - your Archers love scenes. Listener Discussions to 3 May 2015.
Radio 4
The Maypole disappeared to Lynda's horror. Now where on EARTH could it be?
Scruff is tied to it and floating out into the Atlantic [Gaz Derry on Facebook]
For some reason I imagined the maypole (cut down to size) in Joe's bedroom at Grey Gables with his tiger onesie hanging off it... [Rosemary Teverson on Facebook]
There was a word of warning from Money Box’s Paul Lewis to cash-strapped Kenton and Jolene:
Kenton has such a plank on his shoulder he will be buried under it's weight. But then he is a 'plank’! [Heather Grant on Facebook]
So he COULD be used as a Maypole then. [Richard Gilbert on Facebook]
Kate gave a soliloquy about love and commitment that would melt the coldest of hearts. Guest speaker at Ed and Emma's wedding perhaps?
She went to the Attila the Hun School of Tact and Diplomacy, you know [Chris Walmsley on Facebook]
Kate could work for Relate! [Rosemary Teverson on Facebook]
Followed closely by termination of employment? [Kay Watt on Facebook]
Buoyed by his negative DNA test result, Rob phoned Jess...
Ethan must be pleased [Denise Scoggins on Facebook]
Sex, lies and an audiotape! We soooooo hope Jess has recorded nasty Wob! [Maureen Parnaby on Facebook]
And, as Rob pledged to make Helen 'Mrs Rob Titchener', it wasn't just Kate who was cynical in the face of grand gestures of romance.
Rob is a dreadful composite of all the worst aspects of the middle classes: dysfunctional relationship with cold parents - tick; obsession over correct diet & regular meal times - tick; uses the pursuit of certain sports -in his case hunting & rugby - to assert his superior social standing - tick & ultra controlled domestic & family life which MUST reflect his self control & personal power- double tick! Gawd help Helen or Henry if they ever have any ideas of their own! [Maggie Mumford on Facebook]
Does anyone believe Rob really loves Helen? It will be interesting to hear his conversation with her when he goes off with someone else. [Lindsay Philippa on Facebook]
Perhaps we shall all have to line up and curtsey our apologies to Rob, having misjudged him completely. Never mind his control freakery, adulterous relationship and thuggery to hunt sabs, etc etc etc, underneath it all he's just a poor unloved little boy. Oooops, was that one of Tom's pigs just flew over? [Jenny Padfield on Facebook]
The Archers featured in the Missing Words round of Have I Got News For You and you were busy filling in the blanks…
A Wellington boot filled with silly putty?! [Sarah Sweatman-Kitney on Facebook]
A truly filthy imagination. [Ginny Graham on Facebook]
Viagra? [Stephanie McDonald on Facebook]
Joe Grundy [Paul Blackman on Facebook]
A sink plunger [Rob Paskin on Facebook]
Foot & Mouth control strategy [Tim Cokayne on Facebook]
Is it a dolphin in a bathtub? [Haji Ahamat on Facebook]
And the answer?
Finally, a real-life drama in the making. Will he or won’t he??
And one best left to the discretion of the scriptwriters...
