Abattoir owner Vince Casey is featuring in the Archers again at the moment. Every time he does our original assessment of him from October 25th 2020 gets a good deal of social media interest. Its repeated below. Which, if any, of our characterisations, was right, five years on??
Vince Casey: ‘Slimeball’,’peasant’ or ‘working-class hero’?
Vince Casey, abattoir specialist and David Archer’s nemesis has bumped into Elizabeth in a pub and bought her a drink. Casey appeared to be genial character (who knew?) who noted that he got by with 50% charm and 50% iron fist…
Later both Casey and Archer were to be found at an HR seminar on workplace relations. The BBC rarely covers Lower Loxley’s non-unionised employment practices and we can only wonder how much iron fist Casey uses with anyone who he may employ.
Later Casey turned up at Lower Loxley to meet Lily and Freddie. Lily had earlier called Casey a slimeball which he seemed to regard as fair but he did wonder if their objections to him were because they saw him as a peasant intruding on the Archer Dynasty..
