Speaker 1 (0:15) all about the Archers. I'm Philippa. And I'm Katie. And we're talking about events in Ambridge this week so far, from Sunday the 27th of September to tonight, Tuesday the 29th of September. Katie, thoughts? Slightly concerned with the last Speaker 2 (0:29) sentence of tonight when Emma just goes, life's good, isn't it? I was like, don't say that, please. Faithful last words. Who knows what's going to happen? There's going to be a tornado. There's going to be another flood. There's going to be a loose elephant that tries to get into the dog field. Speaker 1 (0:47) I don't know. Yeah. And I think if you're trying to choose whether you're Team Martin or Team Brian, you need to be careful because surely even Ed can see that Brian isn't quite up to speed on everything with deliveries being delivered to the wrong address and Ed having to remember. all the work that needs doing. So yeah, I think they need to be careful. They're saying they need to protect their own business. Well, yes. Yeah, definitely. Speaker 2 (1:14) I get not wanting to snitch on Brian. I think that's very wise. But also, I don't know which way it's going to go. It just all felt a bit ominous without... Kind of the Grim Reaper turning up. Just felt like something was going to go very, very wrong. And I can't quite work out what it is. So I haven't got anything for a prediction for that. But I assume you have going by that face. Oh, well, Speaker 1 (1:37) no. I mean, you know my predictions. I didn't know they were going to talk tonight about the baby names, although they always, George says it's baby. So I think they're going to petition the Oxford Dictionary to include the letter Y in the word baby. But if I hadn't said baby, tonight i i'd done my research and i got three suggestions oh go on go on the first one because it's very popular at the moment noah and i thought with all the flooding that we've had in ambridge that could be quite um quite apt the next one was a mixture of amber and george so amborge oh Speaker 2 (2:14) lovely yeah lovely and Speaker 1 (2:16) the third one was bartleby because just like oh Speaker 2 (2:19) that would be cute bartleby joe grundy Yes. Bart. There we go. Yeah. Speaker 1 (2:25) That would be so cute. Did you have any ideas before we heard tonight about the possible options that they were thinking? Speaker 2 (2:34) I didn't. I was trying to think what it could possibly be because I thought she's not going to want a common, in inverted commas, name. She's going to want something a bit trendy and not millennial. I wasn't quite expecting Bear, Fox and River. I don't think they particularly go with the surname Grundy. You've kind of got to do it all together. I thought River Grundy actually sounds like an actual river. Speaker 1 (2:57) Bear Grundy. I don't know Bear Grylls. It's just a very, you know. insta generation isn't it it is Speaker 2 (3:04) it's it's interesting i mean they could have gone for apple done a bit of a gwyneth and a chris martin because of the cider and everything yeah that would have been quite good but it's going to be interesting whatever they choose i just hope they do keep joe as a middle name i think they will but yeah that Speaker 1 (3:20) would be nice if they did that yes indeed well we Speaker 2 (3:25) we will stand by for more Speaker 1 (3:27) revelations of what they could use and if anyone's got an idea just say on the facebook group please yeah i want to hear your ideas Speaker 2 (3:34) definitely Speaker 1 (3:35) that would be great and poor linda tonight as well Speaker 2 (3:39) i did agree with brian i i kind of thought you can't bring it back to that land i kind of understand trying other farms and possibly giving it a go but really the farm it happened at And yes, it wasn't your fault it was your dog, though. They're still not going to want dogs on the land. There's the whole thing about making sure your dogs aren't on our land. And then suddenly there's a dog field. It really wasn't the right place to go and the right person to ask at all. Yeah, the minute he said, you Speaker 1 (4:09) want to know what I think? I thought, Speaker 2 (4:11) oh, Speaker 1 (4:12) no. But it's quite expensive because you've got to put up all the fencing and get the water supply. I mean, that... is quite costly. As you say, I can understand. He didn't handle it very well. No. But I can understand why. So what
