I've been catching up on the Archers (you've got to do SOMETHING to enliven sewing buttons back on), and thought that the scene between Usha and Ruth was quite well done, particularly Usha's side of it.

Except. When Usha began a sentence of remonstrance with the fatal words "Surely, surely" I thought - Good Lord, she's only been involved with t'Vicar five minutes, and she's channelling Mrs Proudie...

I've not been catching up with the Archers after I caught Sam and Ruth mid-snog on the Omnibus and had to switch off. Brain Bleach. I've just realised I visualise him as Matt Skilbeck out of Emmerdale, circa 1979, and this, added to his vague grunting and utterly manipulative ways, have put me right off.

May I enquire as to whether they've been caught yet? I daren't listen, much as I'm enjoying Lynda and the Dwarves. Is Usha in on it? Has she told Ruth to get a grip? (I had hoped she'd weaken in the face of Pip.)

No, Ruth has not yet been caught, though it can surely be only a matter of time. Usha knows that Ruth has 'met someone else', but not who, though I imagine she's currently speculating wildly. She told Ruth that she was behaving like a lunatic and that she shouldn't just throw away her marriage, but it didn't seem to make much impression as Ruth was too busy taking the huff at Usha's failure to say, in the manner of supporting characters in Hollywood films "Well, if you love him..."

The Vicar now also knows, because Usha was so upset by the conversation that she blurted it out to him, but he has promised to keep it to himself.
