5 Great minds think alike, there's no doubt - as I started a post on exactly this theme a few days back then I got a call from home saying father poorly. So I signed off instead of saving it...but it started ...WTF is happening in Boresetsheer?... have protested to the BBC about current story changes which are more and more like Eastenders - depressed and deadly every week... |

Think they - the writers/producers of TA - may have realised they were possibly going deeper and darker than can be tolerated by listeners in this present climate, and at last there is a little light relief with the relenting of one bro against another to give him and his ex-wife and his child a home for Christmas, albeit it temporary, and with that came the resultant wedding news of the newly homed couple! Hearing Ed's raucous laughter at the end of last Friday's episode completely threw me!

I'm guessing 'The Archers' ? I've never listened to it, so I have no idea. Edited by rumbaba, Dec 10 2014, 08:53 PM.

Preserve that happy innocence, rum ...... Anyway Nancy Banks-Smith says this ...... "Anyone fancy a lorry-load of potatoes? Think of it as a lovely present for the man who has everything. Or the poor bastard who has nothing. Rob, who has been getting his tentacles under the table at Bridge Farm, ordered the spuds but Tom, back from Canada, cancelled them. That is drama Ambridge-style. Such a relief because these days Ambridge has reminded me increasingly of Dallas. You remember dear, dead, addictive, daft old Dallas? The absolutely appalling lack of principle showed by absolutely everybody. The family’s disconcerting habit of reappearing (after sharp words backstage) with entirely different heads. As Helen Archer said recently, on catching sight of her brother Tom with a brand new head: “I don’t believe it! I thought I was seeing things!” “No. It’s definitely me,” said Tom, perhaps a titch defensively. And then there’s the big scene in hospital with one of the stars stretched out insensible, while each member of the family visits in sequence to express regret for former slights. This month, it is Tony Archer’s turn to fight for life in a forest of exclamation marks. “The bull smashed him straight into the wall!” “I’m the air ambulance doctor! Can I have a grey cannula?” “Tony! Forgive me!” “It’s touch and go!” “Take him to the abattoir!” (No sorry that was the bull who, in my opinion, got pretty rough justice.) When Tony opens his eyes, he won’t recognise the old place. David Archer has sold the family farm for seven million quid to a ruthless entrepreneur and is high-tailing it to Hadley Haugh (which sounds like something Corporal Jones used to say to German parachutists). The slavering speed with which his siblings – Shula, Kenton and Elizabeth – fell on their share of the spoils would make a pig whistle. “You think you know people!” as their aunt, who was priced out of the auction, said sadly. That is the problem. We do know them. We’ve known them for years. And they are just not like that at all. To change a head is one thing; to change a whole personality suggests brain damage. Look, I will close my eyes till Christmas and, when I open them, I expect you to have put EVERYTHING BACK THE WAY IT WAS. And we will say no more about it." Talking about Dallas, one way out of this mess is for it all TO HAVE BEEN A DREAM ......... Edited by caissier, Dec 10 2014, 08:52 PM.

Hey listen one day I will inherit the Complete Works of Dallas! ...all 14 seasons! I know this because a few years ago my mother gave me a load of cash to buy up whatever I could from wherever I could and I reluctantly agreed. They are all in order on a bookcase in the second spare bedroom and most of the later seasons are still in their sealed cellophane covers...which means either she's waiting until she's in her dotage (she's only 89 and three-quarters) to watch them all, or she's decided she doesn't really want to watch them after all!
