In case you’ve not seen this being shared recently. A 1989 Forty Minutes documentary about #TheArchers called ‘All About Ambridge’. A splendid watch. (Ryan Kelly, who plays Jazzer, shared it on The Cider Shed Patreon Discord channel with us). 🍏♥️🍏 youtu.be/y4TT3GCx890

I think it’s a tremendous idea to grow caravans at Home Farm. #TheArchers

Welcome fair time travellers of The Cider Shed Patreon! We hope you all enjoyed that trip back to Easter 86. Forty bloody years ago. Madness. Here’s our take on it. 🍏♥️🍏 #TheArchers www.patreon.com/posts/154955...

Imagine writing this budgie stuff. Then imagine acting this budgie stuff. Then imagine listening to this budgie stuff. Oh. That’s us. Right now. #TheArchers

David is being Davidly helpful to Pip which is not at all. #TheArchers

I NEED A STRATEGY FOR COPING WITH THIS. #TheArchers

Tmrw apparently every Ambridge resident is put in a cage to the same ratio as Fletcher’s cage is to Fletcher but in relation to their body size. They may or may not be allowed a dangling mirror and a bell. This element is being decided by a competition in The Bull. #TheArchers

Measuring things in paces. David’s paces might be different to Pip’s paces. #paces #TheArchers

Christ but this budgie stuff is painful. #TheArchers

Riiiiiiiiiight. So Warburton’s got Lynda chatting to the budgie, then. Budgie sounds are cheaper than actors, I guess. Put one in every Ambridge household. Save the BBC a fortune. #TheArchers

Son: what are you listening to? Me: a gate being hung. Son: #TheArchers

Warburton week off to a flying start with the introduction of a budgerigar, Adam being told he can manage Home Farm and the roof of St Stephen’s falling in. 🤯 #TheArchers

Hanging on our Easter wotsit tree: • Bit Prickly: Pip and Carol talk Mr Hedgehog. • Lynda Before Wicket: Robert finds his Googlies. • Sweet Caroline: Oliver has a Bone to pick. 🐣🍏♥️🍏🐣 #TheArchers podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

‘I’VE HEARD ENOUGH!!’ Well yes, that’s why the theme tune’s playing. #TheArchers

Best logo and team name for the new cricket team. 👏🏻 #TheArchers

Robert. Tell her about her awfulnesses. Pleeeeeease. #TheArchers

Miranda: Oliver! Oliver: Miranda! Good ride?! Miranda: Yes I am, as it goes. How about you? #TheArchers

Brian thinks buying lunch for Miranda with smooth over his lying. Pat thinks toy cows will sort Tony’s Angus angst. They’re all mad in this village. #TheArchers

Was kind of surprised at how childishly placated Tony was with his miniature Anguses in place of his actual cow-sized ones. Most peculiar. Pretty sure he already had some for his train set anyway. Did Pat drug him? With special soup. #TheArchers

That scene with Azra was brilliant. What a bunch the Bridge Farm lot are (and Helen wasn’t even there). #TheArchers

‘When the dog lies easy, best to watch the door.’ #TheArchers

The Angus purge has been so worryingly hurried and pushed through. They’ve barely checked over the details and possibilities together, let alone discussed it in any depth. Annoying. #TheArchers

I’ve known some prolific growers in my time. #TheArchers

‘Posh Balti’ Great name for a restaurant. #TheArchers

Why is Lynda such a controlling dictator? #TheArchers

Tom’s right though. Lynda HAS been deliberately obstructive about the cricket. #TheArchers

When did Lynda last have a normal conversation with someone that didn’t involve persuading them to become embroiled in an activity or competition or something? #TheArchers

‘Nova and Seren’s little faces LIT UP when they saw the donkey.’ That’s no way to refer to Alan. #TheArchers

The Bull's cricket team's logo. #TheArchers

Props to Academic Archers for their help with our title this week. Huge thanks and welcome to new Patreons, Flora and Kathleen. This week we go on a food tour across the class spectrum, Brian breathes the 'Air' and Tony makes a wish. 🍏♥️🍏 #TheArchers www.patreon.com/posts/154733...

The shorter list would be who Brian hasn’t been entangled with. #BackOfAFagPacket #TheArchers

Bloody hell, Miranda, Brian only wants to delay him moving in. Calm down. (Trying to think of alternative angles here, bear with me). #TheArchers

People who say they are fine when they’re not fine should be fined. #TheArchers

Good characters? Villains? Plot twists? What on EARTH could they be talking about? #TheArchers

Miranda: Oliver! Oliver: Miranda! Good ride?! Miranda: Yes I am, as it goes. How about you? #TheArchers

It's a tenet of English law that each generation of #TheArchers listeners must go misty-eyed over how much better the show used to be. And so it is in this article from 1986, a period currently featuring in @thecidershedpod.bsky.social time travel episodes. So let's dive in.

Our latest Patreon time travel to 1986 is here! On the list for the over 60s: Shell Company: Tortoise speaker Mrs Wellington gets the boot. Gregory's Girl: Sophie chalks David off. Leaves it out: Mrs P has change of fortune. 🍏♥️🍏 #TheArchers www.patreon.com/posts/154404...

Everyone! The latest Cider Shed is here... • There's a new manure conference dropping. • 'Wee' have a new sponsor. • Those seeds of Tony's are starting to come up. • Wearing a tag near Helen might be a bit dodgy mate. 🍏♥️🍏 #TheArchers podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Miranda: Nothing you are saying is making any sense to me! Brian: Yes. It’s the scripts. They’re always like this. #TheArchers

LONGING for the day when someone, ANYONE tells Helen how hideous she is. In great detail. With a huge list of specific examples. #TheArchers

All three of your children are NOT great and brilliant. PIP. Case closed. #TheArchers

Why does Brian care what he does with the money if it’s a one-off payment? #TheArchers

Ruth: It’s Josh!!! David: What’s he saying? Ruth: Nothing. Ben has been telling us what he’s been saying for the past few episodes, remember? #TheArchers

Ben has always been a caring, empathetic chap. Is David really his dad? 🤔 #TheArchers

Brian was going to bung him £500 and now George wants a flock of lions lol. #TheArchers
