Keira and Poppy don’t get a gaming chair for being decent kids. #TheArchers Bash Will on the head.

"Who is the man who appears unexpectedly in an OS map..?"

For all the people who are screenshotting Twitter/X posts and forcing them into my timeline. I don't care how hot a take, how funny a image, how important a person I don't want to see it & I don't want you using a site where you a) run this risk and b) contribute to it's success by your presence.

In the UK add that possession of CSAM is a strict liability criminal offence, prison sentence 2-3 years. No proof that you sought the material is required. People can be and have been convicted after receiving unsolicited images. This is a serious risk, using X in the UK now.

I've just learnt that it's #InternationalUnsolicitedDuckPic Day.

Alice, not everything is about you. #TheArchers

No improvement in George's temperament then. #TheArchers

Thank gawd that's over. Got a horrible feeling the story will pick up from tonight's episode with no further mention of the last 45mins. #TheArchers

Amber and Chelsea both mentioned on the 4pm News! #TheArchers

This is the stair lift most people actually want. youtube.com/shorts/wUzHo... Not stupid chairs that take up 2/3 of the stairs and hurt your knees and wrists constantly sitting down and standing again.

Ms Skinner using her disappointed Mum voice from Outnumbered with Brad. #TheArchers

This character played by Claire Skinner is clearly a listener. She seems to know far more about each individual than the average copper would know a few short hours into an investigation. #TheArchers

Details not showing on BBC Sounds. This taken from Radio Times: 2.15 Snapshots into the lives of those in tonight's 7.15 drama 2.55 Brad 4.00 Hannah 5.00 Lillian 6.13 Harrison 7.00 Brian 7.15 Truth & Lies 45mins #TheArchers

Might as well send this out again. Sitting here quiet & mellow after a good meal & nice bottle of rioja. Contented but remembering some noisier NYE in the past.

🍾🎉 Wishing you all the very best for 2026 🎉🥂

WHERE'S THE RAMPAGE I WAS PROMISED? #TheArchers

Not David and fireworks! #TheArchers

I knew about the Truth and Lies special tomorrow at 7.15pm, but I've only just spotted the 6 x 5 min shorts throughout the day from 2.15pm. There're not showing up on tomorrow's schedule on BBC Sounds but are listed in Radio Times. #TheArchers

What's that you say? Ted Hastings doing musical theatre? On BBC2 3.35pm today! *recording device set*

More aggro, yes, but hardly hell unleashed. I'm glad it wasn't worse for Brad & Amber's sakes. Nice build-up for tomorrow with no real clues as to which way it's going. #TheArchers

I've caught up with #TheArchers but won't be able to listen live tomorrow. They're doing a good job of mixing in the banal with the build-up to the big story. Looking forward to seeing how next week pans out.

If anyone was curious as to why the motorway needed to be closed, it's actually quite impressive.

I want to believe he lives off a diet of egg banjos.

A huge heartfelt "thank you" to all the #NHS and emergency services staff who will miss their family celebrations this Christmas as they are working - many of them ready to look after any of us in need. ❤️

Joyous seasonal felicitations to all #TheArchers bleeters.

What's Hannah's problem? It's meant to be a bit of fun, isn't it. #TheArchers

Tony's got his tool at the ready! #TheArchers

Some of you will be with people doing your familiar traditions Some of you will be with people doing their weird traditions Some of you will be alone wishing you were with a crowd Some of you will be with a crowd wishing you were alone but I hope everyone finds some peace and joy this Christmas xx

George Segal & Maggie London by Louis Faurer, for Mademoiselle, 1964 #MerryXmasEve 🎄

If you want to feel old, there's a song on the 6Music Christmas playlist about a bloke remembering when he was a kid & his Mum telling him Christmas was better in the 1980s. So here's a track with images of proper old fashioned tinsel, paper decorations and balloons.

Take 2 - let's have the whole lot this time. Christmas chaos (I can relate).

Dag namit! Kenton's telling him but we don't get to hear his reaction. #TheArchers

How big is the area where the tractors are meeting up? Surely they can't be rearranged into a set order? 🚜🎄🚜🚜🎄🚜 #TheArchers

La la la la, la la la la la la, la. #totp

All together kids 🎶 What a wonderful fish the sole is What wonderful fish are soles Are soles What wonderful fish are soles. 🎶

Solstice greetings. Time to embrace the start of winter and the lengthening of the days.

Bonfire Disco! Burn baby burn, disco inferno klaxon! 🔥 #TheArchers

🎶 On the 12th day of Closure my true love sent to me...

A nice interview with David & William Troughton in the Radio Times. (There are no spoilers) #TheArchers

@brendaselwyn.bsky.social has kept quiet about running a café. #TheArchers

Careful you don't catch yer wattle in yer zip, lads! #TheArchers

I heard there was a secret meat With paprika, and spicy heat But you don't really care for sausage Nduja ...sorry, I can delete this. I've just seen a few posts in this format and I wanted in.

omg they rebranded ice cream

Christmas Ident Calendar Day 15. BBC2's '2' stayed with Wallace & Gromit in 1995 to promote A Close Shave, which was watched by 10.62m on Christmas Eve. This presentation won a BAFTA for Best Graphic Design. Look out for the nod, the wink & the raised glass at the end.

OH has just said Advent calendars are nice pictures that gradually get ruined 🙄. Anyhoo, today's window has revealed what he described as "Dead turkey on a platter." I now keep thinking of this to the tune of The Holly and The Ivy!

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar
