Yep. On a lighter note, Kate discovering she has nowhere to live was deeply satisfying.
We did laugh. Stupid moo. Mind you, looking at her dad, you can see where she gets her completely oblivious victim mentality from.

Yes, on the Omnibus this morning. Great script, great acting. Emotional stuff.
But it's good to hear Tracy Horobin sticking her oar in with some arrow like one-liners.

Am I the only one who got a bad feeling about the whole Valentine thing and where they might take that storyline?

I thought it was great radio.
Agreed
Just heard it. Very good radio, lump in my throat and everything.

As for Kate - I love that Jenny finally stood up to her too. "Oh, you want to live here? Nope"

Another 20 minutes of the podcast to go...

It's been a while since somebody got stabbed.

Fingers crossed...

If you ever give up surveying, I think counselling is your next best role!

Not just the blokes either - I think most of the characters qualify!

How long before Natasha is declared bankrupt, and will she take Tom or any of the family business down with her?

Natasha is making it big or crashing down. Too soon to say which.

I'm caught up with the omnibus - I will agree with the above, there's something odd about Natasha, but we'll see how that shakes out.

I was, however, disappointed with the Helen storyline - Unless something else happens, it's a shame that she's not given that chance to move on from Rob.

Yes, and not being concerned about an £8000 credit card debt and paying minimum evary month because 'everybody lives on credit these days'.

I think that other debts will appear in due course, followed by a loan from the Bank of Archer.

I reckon there are two possibilities:

1. Natasha has built a house of cards, and latched onto Tom because his family have several businesses and some money.

Married in haste, to beat the bailiffs, and when they turn up, Tom (or his parents) will bail her out, and she'll fk off.

2. She plans to take over the Archer empire, using Tom as her quizling. Given he's such an ineffectual finger puppet of a man, he'll be easy to manipulate.
