I thought his new hobby was Miranda! #TheArchers

How dare he do this, and worry Jacob like that. These days it’s surely more unusual to live near grandchildren rather than the norm? And does Phoebe get a say about whether she wants Kate nearby? #TheArchers

I’m afraid I don’t see Chris is putting ‘joy’ in anyone’s life! #TheArchers

Needing to pee in the countryside is inevitable sometimes. Discretion is the important thing. George had been creating a pattern - Reported for being drunk at NYE, failing to meet Reg bcs of a hangover, & making the bus shelter stink of urine are NOT ways of showing he can handle drink. #TheArchers

Not sure how Hannah would feel about inheriting someone else’s child. #TheArchers

I thought by the last series it was too much about the relationships and enough about the crime or the sectarian context. It was also another police series where I spent much of the time shouting “get out of the police. You are really not suited to this work. Get a different job. Please”
#TheArchers

Oh no. I thought we were friends! I adore HCBs. But only trad ones. None of that prosecco and marmite or whatever flavoured nonsense. #TheArchers

And Joe Grundy got excited when he saw that someone on the production team of “Neighbours” was called Grundy. I think he wrote “claiming kin” and hoping for some profits? #TheArchers

Which makes all the comments about Helen looking glowing a bit more pointing to a tedious pregnancy storyline if the comments were meant for a few weeks time. How annoying. #TheArchers

And what an odd episode. Huge amount of info about having a scan. Who knew it was £5 for a photo or £7 for 2? And then huge details of how to make coleslaw. And Tracy thinks she’s been in the dairy for weeks, not days. All odd - padding? A Story line brought forward? #TheArchers

And, frankly, what you say could apply to just about any family in the village. #TheArchers But I assume that was what you meant!

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

It was me who mentioned it - I defo remember Clarrie having to cut Joe’s toenails and speculated that Tracey might do the same for Bert. Personally I would go without supper for a week to save the money for a trip to a podiatrist rather than cut an old man’s toenails. #TheArchers

Except the Brian Aldridge money fountain he used to tap for rent has run a little dry recently as punishment. Do we think Rhuairi is being paid much for falling in the manure at Berrow? #TheArchers

Yes. A splendidly unsubtle “Archers-Type-Hint”.

Older listeners may remember the skit in the “A Day in Radio 4” prog years ago with Jack W telling Caroline abt “a very VALUABLE silver teapot” he had acquired. 5 mins later, of course, it had been stolen.

#TheArchers

Yes. I think Mia is, by proxy, a good example of a “Grundy Girl” and I hope both Keira and Poppy (& potentially the “new” baby) will see her as a good role model. #TheArchers

Maybe Tracey’s character has changed a bit because she has grown up in the years we’ve known her? Like Ed, or even Emma. It’s a shame that the likes of Will and Tom seem stuck as sulky teenagers. Personally I prefer new storylines to too much self-reflection about what has “made” them #TheArchers

Perhaps Keira will be the first in the family to MOVE AWAY from Ambridge. (Apart frm Alf, of course, who left to avoid the police) #TheArchers

Why shouldn’t Rhuari be monogamous too? #TheArchers

Really? It must be specific to particular parts. My council-estate-in-Solihull-brought-up OH says it was Mum. Some other parts would be “mam”. WM is a BIG area! #TheArchers

OMG. Because making your own coleslaw is SO hard, isn’t it? #TheAchers

Maybe. When i was a student (a long time ago) I think we used “college” to mean university, polytechnic or teacher training college etc. Certainly no-one went to “Uni”.

#TheArchers

No. He’s doing the rounds of all his other casual girlfriends throughout England before returning. #TheArchers

Would she be “glowing” at one week pregnant? I think it’s just post-coital smugness. Please not another pregnancy. That would be ridiculously cliched
#TheArchers

I thought they sounded like 10 year olds with a new puppy, myself.

#TheArchers

Yes. Surely part of getting consultants is that it’s for THEM to state the bleedin’ obvious, which allows each family member to deny that they had anything to do with the bad news and recommendations. #TheArchers

I wondered. But not sure what the point is if she knows she isn't pregnant. George will just want them to have another go ASAP. #TheArchers

No point until she is sure she is interested? Does she need her parents' agreement? (OK, I know that it is a bit different in a family farm where she is half of the next generation) #TheArchers

I see your Major Wild Radcliffe, and raise you Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Trusty Tricky!

My OH is same age as Eddie. I am very concerned by the idea that 75 is a significant birthday. This is raising false expectations around here. #TheArchers
