It was good to hear yesterday that Stella has started her new job. The question now is whether it will last until Christmas 🤔😄 #TheArchers

It's just struck me that it's the Prodigal Son yet again. A purpetually popular dramatic theme. #TheArchers

Brad is a decent, honourable young man. He will suppress any feelings he has for Amber until after she & George have split up, and probably for a good while afterwards. Not only because of his misguided loyalty to George; he wouldn't do it to anyone. #TheArchers

Still calling it. #TheArchers bsky.app/profile/bren...

No mention of her having started at Borchester Green at the beginning of this month 🙄. Presumably she has settled in successfully. #TheArchers

Particularly classic announcer's introduction this evening 😄. I believe they are written by the week's SW. Plus a bit of fourth wall breaking, with the lines about having enough and needing some drama 🙂 #TheArchers

Thanks for that. I knew it was a majority holding, but it's good to have the actual figure. I think he & Lilian also have an interest in The Stables? If he buys land elsewhere, perhaps he & Lilian will drift apart 🤞 #TheArchers

With all the fuss about George & the Home Farm succession, we're overlooking Damara selling all its shares in BL. Is this the first stage of Justin exiting #TheArchers? We can but hope. I wonder who will buy the shares?

Well I wasn't expected this! And it's excellent! Labour are bringing back maintenance grants for students in higher education. They will be targeted to disadvantaged students studying priority courses to help them access & excel in their studies. They grants were abolished by the Tories in 2016.

It's a Keri Davies week on #TheArchers

Pointed mention yesterday that Paul doesn't drive. Ruairi to offer lessons? #TheArchers

Paul said he had cycled to Brookfield. Alistair must have driven past The Stables on his way from GG; why didn't he pick Paul up? Also, why didn't Paul go back later for his bike, to save faffing with wheels? Josh & Lily could drive him. Or he could walk, it's literally 300 yards. #TheArchers

The job is quite different from anything Stella's done before. They're expecting her to start sooner than she expected. And it *is* a long commute if you're not used to it. It's perfectly reasonable for her to be apprehensive about it. Hopefully she won't change her mind. #TheArchers

I happened across this earlier when I was searching for something else. Charlotte Higgins on the Aldridges in July 2021 #TheArchers

We might not hear from them much. We hardly hear from Ruth & David currently. Brookfield was supposed to be the heart of the #TheArchers, but wastrel Jack Archer's descendants have turned out to provide better drama than solid, upstanding Phil's 😁

Did anyone else notice Amber saying she had left her phone & her vape in her bag this evening? So we know now that she vapes; first time it's been mentioned I think. #TheArchers

I said Brian was a charmer. He's worked his charm on Stella this evening. I suspect Stella knows this, but she's going to fall for it anyway. #TheArchers

George's welcome home party is going to turn into either a) a massive, out-of-control rave, or b) a damp squib to which no-one apart from immediate family turn up. Can't decide which yet, but I'm tending towards b). #TheArchers

Not sure why the govt & media present ID cards almost entirely in the context of migration, on which it will have only a marginal effect. Rather, it’s a practical way for all of us to prove our identity when we need to, without pfaffing around with multiple cards and documents

Good news for Ed Grundy? #TheArchers

Has Amber checked whether George wants a massive party? He might prefer a quiet celebration with his family. I suspect that's what he's going to get anyway. #TheArchers

Why do the owners seem to be unable to appoint a permanent general manager? They've had a series of temporary ones since Kathy left in 2022. #TheArchers

You mention the marriage bed. I've been thinking about that, but been too coy to say anything 😁. I doubt either of them has gone further than a quick snog & I don't suppose either has much of a clue. I can't see the night of 10th October going well. #TheArchers

BBC 6pm TV News were talking about the 70th anniversary of the launch of ITV. That means it must also be the 70th anniversary of... 🐴🔥⚰️ #TheArchers

Today's #TheArchers history trivia 😁. When Janet was vicar, she chose to live in the Darrington vicarage. The vacant Ambridge vicarage was bought by Richard Locke, who converted it into a new surgery (I don't know what was wrong with the old one) 1/2

The original united benefice, consisting of Ambridge, Penny Hassett & Edgeley, was created sometime in the early 1990s, when Jerry Buckle or Robin Stokes was vicar (don't know which). Darrington was added when Janet Fisher took over in 1995. #TheArchers

Tim Stimpson this week, which surprised me, as I thought I'd read somewhere that he had left #TheArchers scriptwriting team.

No problem distinguishing Ruairi & Paul this evening. As I said yesterday, I think it was lack of familiarity as it's so long since we heard either of them. #TheArchers

Just leave him, Lilian. #TheArchers

Is this about Emma's teeth whitening? 😁 #TheArchers

This. Especially after they were talking yesterday about Jazzer nearly dying. #TheArchers

This ⬇️ #TheArchers

Dane is beginning to remind me of the notorious Ray the Temporary Manager. #TheArchers

Countryfile in Inkberrow, talking about #TheArchers BBC1, now.

It's funny how older people who don't live in Ambridge, like Roger or Robin, can have poor health, but you can be 90 in Ambridge & still as fit as a fiddle. Must be something in the water 🤣 #TheArchers

The Last Night of The Proms is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bohemian Rhapsody. I mean, how...? 🤔😲👵

The SWs are sadists. They've given us false hope. But we know the problems will all be smoothed over & cricket will be back on next year. #TheArchers

It's quite amazing really that Tom manages to be so high and mighty, despite having fucked up everything he's ever tried. #TheArchers

Amber has confessed what we already knew; that her whole personality is an act, and underneath she is insecure. Interested to see where we go from here. She was getting on worryingly well with Brad this evening. She will turn to him for help when things inevitably go wrong with George. #TheArchers

We can be sure it won't last, however. #TheArchers

Wasn't expecting to have called it. So Ruairi's graduate scheme is over (I hadn't twigged it's a year since he graduated). Does that mean he's currently unemployed? #TheArchers bsky.app/profile/bren...

I could've sworn when I looked at this the other day it said "There's chaos at the Flower and Produce Show". Can anyone else remember? It wouldn't be the first time the text has changed after being put up. #TheArchers

Not sure how the talking it though is going to go. But paradoxically, I think the upshot of this evening's events will be Pip & Rosie moving in with Stella & Cleo. #TheArchers

I wonder if we would we have felt differently about it if it had been told by Joe, or possibly Eddie, rather than Fallon? #TheArchers

Caught up with #TheArchers. Dane is a twat. Helen deserves him. And why didn't Lily suggest Lower Loxley wine for the tasting?

I'm sure there used to be a school bus to Loxley Barratt. However, I don't think it's been mentioned for a long time. Borsetshire County Council cuts? 🤔 #TheArchers

Has anyone else's #TheArchers feed been invaded by women in bikinis with unnaturally large breasts this evening? I thought one of them was Amber for a minute 😄. #TheArchers

Funny Brad was talking about the full moon, but didn't mention the total eclipse. Nick Warburton only done half his homework 🙂. #TheArchers (we couldn't see it, it was cloudy ☁️)https://news.sky.com/story/how-to-see-the-blood-moon-total-lunar-eclipse-this-weekend-13425363
