Sophie! Get off David Archer right now, you dirty husband-stealing trollop. And how DARE you "forget" to tell Ruth that the party was black tie, and then compliment her on her "little outfit"? And as for offloading Ruth on your mother all night so you could persuade David to do some heavy work on the Sensory Garden - you're a disgrace.
Any more of this nonsense and I'm coming down to Ambridge to give you what for.

The Archers = Extremely Important. No, I can't explain. You'll just have to listen to it.

The Archers always reminds me of my first girlfriend, Kirsty. Her whole family used to listen to it, and I had some happy times at her house sitting listening to the radio.
I can't listen to it by myself. Without the Fletchers, I find The Archers to be rather pointless.
I'm here all week.
Don't do this to me. I know Sophie is bad news and Sam wants to get off with old whiny Geordie pants, but I don't want bulletins during the week. I like to save it all up and listen to the omnibus on Sunday mornings, when they cut out the really bad/boring bits. oh nooh David
No I promise that's it. It's not like we couldn't all see it coming for weeks - her with her fake posh voice and her Monsoon frocks (I know it) - just yesterday. Grr.
Oooh Noooh Daaaaaavid indeed.
I just wish they'd cut some of the really boring bits out permanently by means of a massive cull of all the most dreary characters. Start with Tom Archer falling into his own sausage machine, follow with Emma being mistaken for a poacher and shot by Will Grundy (who subsequently, overcome by guilt, re-enacts a scene from a seminal public information film of the seventies and drowns in silage) and then have Adam killed in a bizarre out of season cricketing incident.
Not that I've given this much thought.
Wasn't she was engaged to him once - not that that gives her an excuse.
David is such an arse though
IM etc
I'd have Will and Adam accidently shoot each other in the arse, taking Matt out in a ricochet.
And I object to the only Scot being a drug popping, piss head -where do they get their ideas!;)
Ruth, the only woman to ever have breast cancer and never ever worry about it again, apart from her bra getting a bit clammy. All this stramash is going to upset the cows, the milk will go off
I used to like Ed, but his rehab has been more like he just had to change his washing powder.
Rumtee tum......
I hate the Archers. I hear it because it's between programmes that I do want to listen to. It's so formulaic. Things I especially hate about it. One, no one can sit down without making a "oof"-ing noise; two, no one drinks a pint without making an "aah"-ing noise afterwards; three, the minute anyone goes out of the room/house, the remaining characters talk about him/her (such bad manners); four, this "everyday story of country folk" has precious little verisimilitude - country folk, my elbow, they're all townies telling us to eat cake.
My parents are addicted to the Archers. I was once told to tape episodes while they were away (before digi-radio) and forgot - on their return all I could remember was "someone died" - their faces were a picture!

Dave - Adam is a knobber, isn't he, and his boyfriend is FAR too good for him, but if you had a mother like that you'd be a knobber too
Phillip - yes she was, but she is now being a Predatory Female and I hate that shit. I know people who are married to other people fall in love and that when they don't want to but it is different to prowling around and patronising Ruth, who although (and I get your point Apprentice, and I'm afraid the clammy bra made me laugh a lot) annoying is not as annoying as Sophie. If Adam could suddenly become straight he and Sophie would be perfect for each other.
Indigo -I can see why you hate it. I used to too until I was told it wasn't a joke by a flatmate. I like the fact that they go 'ooph' when they sit down and 'aaah' with a pint, it's kind of rubbish but soothing, like cricket on longwave and shortbread.
Z - I started listening c. 1994 - is that too late for the Young Sophie?
M - that made me laugh, a lot, the thought of you crouched over a tape recorder facing your parents' wrath ...
Oh blimey, I'm old. That's about 20 years after I did. And probably 10 years after Sophie last appeared. As I remember, she wouldn't let David grope her, so the general conclusion (with no evidence whatsoever) was that she had been sexually abused in the past and that had made her frigid. I'm just glad they haven't decided to run with that storyline.
I think you've all forgotten Shula - the worst of the lot - self-righteous and just downright nauseating. And as for that oof noise when sitting down - just wait till you hit 45 and see if you can avoid it.
