I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

My predictions for this evening’s episode: 1)Harrison gets killed in the crossfire and is thus absolved of all future Ambridge commitments and can resume his Corrie/Emmerdale jobs in TV land or 2)episode will be total non-sequitur and George will be mentioned in passing in 3 months time #TheArchers

Feeling festive yet? Many of you will know "Carol of the Bells" was a Ukrainian song. Today is the birthday of composer Mykola Leontovych, born in Vinnytsia and murdered by a Soviet agent in 1921, aged 44 - some things don't change. "Shchedryk" sung by Ukraine choir 'Homin' in Austria's parliament

I’m not sure I’m going to like it if George is going to be a reformed character now #TheArchers

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Though authority be a stubborn bear, yet he is oft let by the nose with gold. #ShakespeareSunday

Greetings and good morning it’s the Saturday farm rush hour with Mo, Willow & George

Great news for Peterborough - grass roots funding decided by local people www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A little bit of perspective on Angela Rayner: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/arti...

May be of interest to #TheArchers fan community and especially listeners to @thecidershedpod.bsky.social - there are Badger Sticks available in the crowdfunder!

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Great work!

Amazing use of technology, really happy for Sarah and her family www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Terence Stamp RIP, what a fantastic career, always utterly compelling

🫐The blueberry. Arguably, the world’s most successful fruit. It was cultivated for 1st time in 1916, and wasn’t sold in UK supermarkets until 1990s. But M&S now make more money from 🫐 than 🍏 & 🍐 combined. What’s the blueberry’s secret? I wanted to find out…1/6🧵

www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a... Great news @channel5bluesky.bsky.social

How dare Adam pester Stella with the emotional blackmail? Brian’s well being was never her responsibility, completely inappropriate in a working relationship #TheArchers

Tuesday’s episode just dropped on BBC Sounds (9.00am)! #TheArchers

Hmm…what do all 4 of these gobshite migrants to other countries have in common, aside from being anti-migration into Britain? Private Eye

Did anyone ask for this @nytgames.bsky.social? Isn’t the fun of #Wordle that we all have a go at it and then see how we compare to everyone else on an even playing field?

So Gay Grables health club has a hench tug of war team with immediate availability? Why haven’t we heard about them before? #TheArchers

I know Chelsea is pretty tough but I’ve never seen her as the cool, popular, bullying type. She must have been one of the less well off at school, on free school meals - I always imagined it was the well off kids who would be bullies. Or maybe that was just my school? #TheArchers

Whatever she ends up calling her, I suspect Stella may become Rosies’s go to adult when she’s older #TheArchers

Really interesting to hear about provision for space funding in Trump’s BBB, including #Artemis and the #LunarGateway, an international collaboration 😀🚀 very informative podcast from @spacecentre.bsky.social #SpaceNow

Join David and Josh in our latest episode of Space NOW! as they explore the secrets of our Solar System. Why are we still finding new moons? And is there a mysterious Planet X waiting to be discovered? 🧐 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yiA...

I’m really loving the #SpaceNow podcast from the National Space Centre - well worth a listen. This week #Elio and first contacts

Just finished the second series - wonderful on all levels - character, plot, dialogue, sound track - funny and satisfying - it’s a must watch! #PowerOfParker www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Why don’t they install CCTV at the Bull? Am I missing something? #TheArchers

My first reaction to Amber is the same as my first reaction to Natasha - entitled, patronising and self-absorbed. I still hate Natasha. Fortunately they are both intent on pairing off with Ambridge’s least popular lads, so it’s all good! #TheArchers

Managed to fish my trolley token out of the Henry Hoover bag #winning

That scene in the pub was fantastic! The pinging of the WhatsApp - Tom and Natasha requesting a different time and not turning up - Natasha micromanaging from a distance - Adam was too tired 😆 - Lilian wants a cruise- massive clash of self interest! Terrific writing #TheArchers

When Miranda said she wasn’t like Jennifer, I thought she was referring to not being willing to go on some god awful family holiday. That should definitely be a red line #TheArchers

Good of David to direct his Brookfield Farm visitors to go and see Plague Farm up the road #BridgeCess #TheArchers

Why doesn’t the village shop become a parcel delivery point e.g. Evri? Also has there ever been a postman/woman in Ambridge? #TheArchers

Security for open farm Sunday to be provided by local people #TheArchers

Wow Dane’s insufferable isn’t he? I wonder if he’s on the App #TheArchers

This is beautiful - Treat yourself to a listen #prosepoem #seasons #nature open.spotify.com/episode/2D0l...

Perfect from @MortenMoreland. Requiescat in Pace, Francis.

I welled up literally 4 times this week! I❤️Jazzer! I wasn’t expecting to like this podcast but it’s great hearing the archive recordings and back stories of the characters #TheArchers

Seems appropriate for today. Thank you, Wendy Cope.

Powerful stuff indeed, Reunion on BBC Iplayer is a terrific watch. Really captures the isolation faced by deaf people in many aspects of life. So interesting to see how nuanced BSL can be. The “making of” was a good feature too. #StillSickofIt

Just caught the final episode of Reunion on BBC1 - it looks amazing, have to go back and watch the whole series www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Amazing - just managed to secure a last minute table reservation at the village pub for Easter Sunday! Ah - wait a minute - they’re putting on some sh*t Morris dancing experience - let’s try Pizza Express #TheArchers

I’m sorry, but if you are someone’s boss and then you fire them, you’re just not allowed to be their friend. #TheArchers

“We didn’t want to waste your time Clarrie so we sat on your CV for a week. It was the team’s decision” #TheArchers

How about Eddie getting a job at Casey Meats and Clarrie doing whatever it is that Eddie does? #TheArchers
