Finding The Archers really tense....

[ToadMum]

I only ask because I don't like other people deciding on whether or not an episode is worth listening to. SOme people are hating this storyline so would advise not to listen when I really want to. I've been listening, also on and off, since 1991! Wow! That makes me feel old! I actually find the farming stories a bit tedious, hence popping in and out over the years. Nowadays with podcasts though I tend to hear them all as they are good company on the dog walk, but I don't need to be tied to a time.

It is great being able to listen anytime - used to be a problem before - chunks of time when 1400 and 1900 were not good times to listen and Sunday morning was bellringing / churchwardening time.

Just realised how long I have listened for well I remember Doris dying in 1980

Though at opposite ends, The Archers and I were born in the same decade and I have been a listener of one sort or another for over fifty years. It was one of those things that was always on, along with 'Mrs Dale's Diary' (remember that, anyone?) and 'Listen With Mother' ('Are you sitting comfortably?' 'Yes thank you, Iddledy' . That and 'purfle' were apparently my only two neologisms, though ).

I'm finding it tense too. So much so my imagination is running away with me (I'm imagining he'll have her committed when the baby's born and take both children)! I thought Tom was going to twig but he seems to have disappeared. Did she give any clue on woman's hour as to how much longer this is going on?

No, they pointed out that this kind of psychological abuse takes time, so not to expect a sudden or quick resolution.
I also think that the build up by Rob of her mental instability means she will feel even more trapped because any brave attempts to escape will be seen as her mental incapacity and he will threaten that she loses the children. Henry sent off to school and Ursula get s the baby. Horrible.
