Is Will going to be thrilled that much of the £500 he gave George to support him while he finds a job has gone on buying Amber a ring and taking her to a posh restaurant?
Didn't we all know this would happen? But Will - duh!

I’m looking forward to the ructions when the solicitor won’t release the money because they didn’t all go as clearly stated in the Ts and Cs #thearchers

Problems with the modern world...
How do children explore and discover their musical selves (and make those embarrassing musical mistakes) without being first granted an internet connected device. Even if you do listen to the radio it's not like they have anything to tape things onto.

I grew up in the country, and within spitting distance of numerous farms. The son of one farmer went to my primary school. Otherwise, to this day, who it was that lived on and ran these farms remains a complete mystery to me. #TheArchers

The purpose of Esme's father's funeral has had two purposes I think, a) will prompt Alan to call time on the shop, and b) firth initiate thoughts of farm handover in David... #TheArchers

Can people give Esme a break please? She's in an impossible place. I doubt that she has the funds to suddenly rustle up pay for a relief milker, and probate takes months even in the really straightforward cases... 1/2 #TheArchers

I have no idea where this cow came from:
Here we have 2 white and brown Gurnseys (Meadow Farm),
A light-red-brown Montbéliarde (Bridge Farm),
A Hereford (Brookfield): White and undersides with the remainder being brown,
Tony’s all-black Aberdeen Angus’.
None are black and white.

I don’t think it was R’s job to decide what Martha and Adam should do about the holiday. Such an arrogant like squirt telling people what to do. I thought Alice’s comment about the tractor was the funniest line in a well written week - & and spot on! #TheArchers

Why would Alice and Adam tell lies to the school to suit the whim of Ruairi. Alice knows about his prostitution past so he would be advised to tread carefully. #thearchers

Genius move by Peggy for that number of people with that range of commitments that could only happen on the 20th of never. So money saved and years of arguments guaranteed. Either she was a sadist or she thought at least if they are arguing they will all stay in touch #TheArchers
