I don't think Jim Lloyd appeared in tonight's episode (not in the last
ten minutes that I heard, anyway) but, with all the musing on the
passage of time, one might be forgiven for muttering phrases like
Memento Mori, O Tempora O Mores. And who could possibly forget Eheu
Fugaces Labuntur Anni?
Definitely a lot of reminiscence on the theme of old age - the
revelation that Eddie is 75 and now looks... well... old.
So my suspicious mind is asking: are we being softened up for the
tragic loss of a well-loved but elderly character? Will it be
budget-driven, in which case, which member of the cast is on the
highest salary? Or will it be driven by events? Has any cast member
just landed a huge Netflix, Apple or Spotify deal?
If it's storyline driven, I think we ought to be on the look out for
clues and as Eddie's frailty was heavily underlined tonight, watch out
for innocent-sounding lines such as: "This Turkey Knife which I have
here in my right hand is freshly sharpened - but don't worry, love,
I'll clean up that extremely slippery patch of spilled grease just as
soon as I've finished." Or: "Don't worry love, that loading platform
for the wood chipper will last a lifetime now: I've replaced all those missing bolts with baling twine."
From now on, whenever Eddie says "Don't worry, love," I'm going to pay special attention.

In financial terms given that the contracts are per episode I doubt that actual pay rates vary much between characters.
In terms of the doors of St Stephens we must be concerned at the
continued existence of
Aunty Chris (long unheard)
Jill Archer (very weak on last hearing)
Jim Lloyd (certainly far less robust on last hearing)
Harrison (his undercover work as a scaffolder and thoroughly nasty piece
of work in Lancashire continues)
Shula (regrettable in my view when the writers f***** up the character) Clarrie - to me she does not sound as strong as I would expect
Robin Fairbrother
How old is old Oliver?
Anyone offering any odds?

I was wondering about who could buy the BL shares from Justin and
thought about Oliver, and then went on to wonder if he was going to kark
it and bequeath the house the Grundys live in to the tenants,

I don't believe that we've ever been told Oliver's age.
Two years ago, Eddie mentioned that it was Oliver's birthday on the 25th October, but no ages were mentioned. As far as we listeners are
concerned, I don't think he'd had a birthday before that.
Anyone offering any odds?

On my 50th. Burpday, I went to an Archers-A open day in Brum; Eddie played >> guitar and sang me -aHappy Birthday that day. Friday week, I-All be 78.?
I don't think I've got enough fingers to count back whether I was
reading umra in those days but I'm pretty sure that, sometime in my
umra lifetime, I knew you'd been to see the cast on stage. Have you
seen them more than once?

Definitely a lot of reminiscence on the theme of old age - the
revelation that Eddie is 75 and now looks... well... old.
So my suspicious mind is asking: are we being softened up for the
tragic loss of a well-loved but elderly character? Will it be
budget-driven, in which case, which member of the cast is on the
highest salary? Or will it be driven by events? Has any cast member
just landed a huge Netflix, Apple or Spotify deal?
If it's storyline driven, I think we ought to be on the look out for
clues and as Eddie's frailty was heavily underlined tonight, watch out
for innocent-sounding lines such as: "This Turkey Knife which I have
here in my right hand is freshly sharpened - but don't worry, love,
I'll clean up that extremely slippery patch of spilled grease just as
soon as I've finished." Or: "Don't worry love, that loading platform
for the wood chipper will last a lifetime now: I've replaced all those
missing bolts with baling twine."
From now on, whenever Eddie says "Don't worry, love," I'm going to pay
special attention.

till now (if she does yet). She wants George for his computer skills to
make her an international influencer.
Though after her talk with Brad the other day and the experience of haymaking she might be considering that she'd make a good farmer's wife
and George a good farmer.

Yes have a feeling she was in her 50s when she died, and something tells me he was in his 50s when he first came. HerCOd retired from somewhere and come to make a new start. I think herCOs in the original whorCOs Who which I can still read.

Mrs McT
TAE - Caroline Pemberton b 3.4.55
Oliver Sterling - no date given but he had recently divorced Jane and
had got together with Caroline and split up but by late 2001 things were >looking brighter for them.
So in 2001 Caroline was 46 and Oliver was not looking to do more than
hobby farming which I always took to mean that he was possibly already
60 - but let us say between 50 and 55. Which would mean that he is now >between 75 and 80.
Michael Cochrane is currently 78 which obviously is not an accurate
guide to Oliver's age.
