George has form sneakily recording people and sharing without their consent - remember how he filmed Helen and shared on social media? #TheArchers I still think George is a nasty, manipulative individual. I'm also not convinced Brian was telling the truth.

I'm on team Chelsea for this one. It's a great idea and I hope she can raise the cash she needs #TheArchers

If any one can do it Chelsea can.
All she needs is money to get going.
We don't have bank managers these days do we.

One thing about alt text is that you wouldn't believe how many people there are online, that you interact with, who need it.
I mean, I've got a UK driving licence and *I* still need alt text occasionally.

I like this take on Josh #TheArchers
Josh is personally sneaky and politically bad, but I like his voice and he’s always been super hot in my mind and I love him? Somehow he is the true heir to Brian!! #thearchers

It’s the Epstein files deja vu: how many more powerful men knew about his crimes, and helped him out anyway? | Marina Hyde
I’m sorry, but this is not just a political scandal. Time to refocus on the horrific mistreatment of women and girls, and the role of these ghouls, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Welcome to most underrated and fastest improving month. You start in the depths of winter and end waking up in the light to the sound of birds singing, to the sight of snowdrops, daffodils and early blossom in the trees

Great little website
Quite happy that the only answer here is Phil Collins, and it's not a film either, but hey, the logic is just >over 70 mins, so film really means "substantial"

IS THERE A FILM ON THE BBC TONIGHT?
A simple way to see if there’s a film on the BBC around 9pm tonight.

A sculpture made of stained glass and wood doesn't seem ideal to be left permanently outside. It would be better situated inside, in, say, a church? #TheArchers

Listening to #TheArchers for a second time, it strikes me that Amber has no one close to confide in. When Chelsea got pregnant, Tracy supported her all the way. Amber is estranged from her parents.

#TheArchers This. Brad did well to set a boundary with George and to choose to step out of the chaos.
Amber has categorically chosen George over Brad - landslide win for George means George. Leave them to their sad and impecunious lives and he take his sparkling maths degree and make something of himself like Brenda and Phoebe. Lucky Escape.
