1. Absolutely.
But also...
2. Hello are you new to the obsessive and excessive way we fans of #TheArchers over-analyse every tiny detail?!
We've never forgotten the bunting, the shop-bought custard, or Shula's cardigan collection.

Yes, odd. But then no-one ever "takes a leak" in a drama without it being a plot point.

JIM: "I see the Middle East is ablaze with an ill-conceived war of aggression by the United States, with the pretext of bringing democracy but all about oil and with rampant disregard for civilian casualties and the aftermath."

Atmospheric landscape: canal under a blanket of fog. In the foreground is the weathered, dark hull of a large yellow and grey barge sits docked on the left bank, partially obscured by dry brush and tall grass. In the background, a hazy townscape is visible through the mist, dominated by a sharp, distant church spire rising above the treeline.

Such an opportunity to ensure all residents can enjoy the green space, I'm keen to make it happen.

I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.

Yesterday the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) published the official annual snapshot estimate of the numbers of people sleeping rough in each local authority area across England in autumn 2025. Numbers in Exeter? 51. 51 people counted sleeping rough on the night of 12 November 2025. That is a 364% change over the 2024 count, which is in part due to a change in methodology from overnight count to count plus estimate. This is the highest number ever recorded for the city since the snapshot was first carried out in 2010. The previous highest estimate was 41 people sleeping rough in November 2016.
Exeter’s figures place the city within the top 5 local authorities and districts in England with an estimated rate of 36.8 people rough sleeping per 100,000 population count. Our CEO Peter Stephenson said, "The key thing for me is that now we have a more realistic picture of the numbers sleeping rough in our city. This will help to inform the strategy to get people off the streets and into stable accommodation. For too long the number of rough sleepers has been significantly underestimated."

Which reminds me... Did you see the mixup coming a mile off when Tom garbled the instructions in amongst all the other plans for the day?
Certainly true of the tulip mix-up! #TheArchers

I'm wondering if he *is* the wise thoughtful man he initially appeared to be, and very good at plumbing; but finding himself accident-prone at his true love farming, because he's so eager to make it work?
Yes, I’m sorry to confirm that Eric Allan, who played Bert so wonderfully, has died.
He was a lovely man.

Is sheep milk trendy these days? It's not a cheese I try much.
Helen strikes me as someone who desperately wants to believe in a passionate romantic love that overrides all else. But has a sharp self-critical inner voice to hold her back from risk. An interesting battle!
#TheArchers
Although she could set up a new cheese-making enterprise in Scotland (Ross-shire Blue anyone?), and she might value a fresh start after the horrors of Rob and Greg, would Helen gamble on having to move Henry & Jack to schools in a different country? And losing her support network?
