Trazzer may be no more; short term, short lived intercourse and tragically sussed by Johnny in record time (you can argue too much for your own cover story). Disappointing as I was looking forward to the Cricket Team Sunday teas as Jazzer takes up the role of caterer delivering those wonderful Scottish staples – cullen skink to start followed by haggis, neeps and tatties washed down with gallons of whisky, but only for the away team!
Meanwhile Neil and Soosan were setup for an incredible fall. I am convinced that the entire slavery story has been given a prominence without justification. If we had a proper programme with 6 episodes then it might feel about right but it is being stuffed into every time corner of our hearing – where is there any real farming, where are the relationships, where are the county lines, where are the steam railways, where is the wife beating, where is the gossip in the village shop, where is the Bull and the room upstairs, where is the gamekeeping, where are the fish discussions between Jazzer and his crap carp, what is happening in the polytunnels, has Ian had his baby and gone back to work?
And talking of babies and more importantly why is no-one interested in having children? How long have Tom and Nocasha been married. Why aren’t Josh and Ben siring vast numbers of offspring? By comparison that well known beacon of drama activities Coronation Street have seen that the younger generation are the future and have been nurturing a vast number of youngsters. Come on we need lots pregnancies or soon the village will die out. Tom & N; Chris & A; Josh; Pip; Fallon Burns; return of Nick’s children – the village urgently needs re-population not re-wilding.
To my mind the current Archers is absolutely awful at present – Roifield and Rosie feel completely different as you can hear on the podcast.
