The Archers, George accepts a cheque and hints at a pricey drone

Bad idea George accepting a chq from Brian - CASH!!! #TheArchers

No, Anna, being your mother’s landlord does not require or permit Ruth to go round there at 8.30 am demanding to be let in! That’s hardly ‘quiet enjoyment’ for Carole, is it? #TheArchers

It’s good to see that they are not treating every character in their 80s as if they were useless and on their last legs. Lots of voluntary organisations would fall apart without the help of octogenarians who are lucky enough to still be fit and active . #TheArchers

In which case he'll probably get himself absolutely bladdered and blurt out how he came by £2k to buy this new drone, waving the cheque as evidence. His family are going to be curious about the money to say the least. #TheArchers

Yes, well kind of. She said “isn’t the one you wanted like well over a thousand pounds?” Either George lied to her about the cost…or he’s trying to milk Brian for more than he needs😬🤔….. #TheArchers

Seems like George needs to tap Brian for a new drone. That’s what Brian thought he was buying into anyway. While he’s at it, probably worth boasting he’s got a recorded confession, and see what happens. #TheArchers

George: “Don’t worry, David – we’ll get a drone.” David: “No need – I’m right here. My droning could power half of Borsetshire.” #TheArchers

I giggled at it, tbh. Giving a cheque to someone Gen Z. I'm surprised George didn't demand a bank transfer! #TheArchers

Leonard must be in his late 80s, about 8 - 10 years younger than Jill & Carol. #TheArchers (I was surprised to find Paul Copley is 81).

As he is letting someone else be tried for “Brine”s crime, he is guilty of perverting the course of justice which would be sufficient to get him recalled if it’s discovered. When he goes to Brine to demand the money for the drone hopefully Brine has a heart attack forcing R to confess #TheArchers

Yes. I'm very lucky. My two local branches shut some time ago & I have to schlep to our nearest city to do in-person banking. And, even there, a lot of the services that they used to offer, like setting up accounts, they no longer do. I dread the city one closing. #TheArchers

From #AOTC, a BBC #TheArchers fan podcast: Episode #273: Proper real Hungary welcomes Adam, as if it hasn’t got enough to deal with; George’s drone is vibrating; and Natasha’s leather trousers bring in the business. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

You are fortunate to have an actual bank you can access. I think what used to be my nearest bank is now a coffee shop. It certainly isn’t a bank anymore☹️ #thearchers

He's about 20-25 years younger. Maybe nonageneriaphile is more appropriate. #TheArchers

Can’t Alice supply the drone? Didn’t she work for a rocket range then a company using drones for farming (as improbable as all of that sounds) #TheArchers
