Josh is hard to like, isn’t he? In fact, they all are. Imagine sharing a house with them #TheArchers

I wonder how much the Grundys make from the turkey enterprise every year. It seems a lot of work, and none of it enjoyable #TheArchers

@richardosman1.bsky.social We watched Civilisations - Rise and Fall - the Rome one on iPlayer. I think the guy who plays General Stilicho is the dad from the John Lewis Christmas advert. Looks like he’s called Roberto Davide.

I’ve never really got the relationship between Jill and Leonard. He seems a generation younger than her. Well, ten years plus… #theArchers

Mick will stand in at Bridge Farm, and it will all go wrong to the extent that he’ll have to ask George for help, and they’ll somehow heal the rift #TheArchers

I cannot believe Hazel would have been invited, or that any of the others would go, knowing that she might turn up. It is absolutely ridiculous #TheArchers

Why can’t George try to get work, literally, anywhere else? His persistent neediness is really irritating. Jolene needs to be firm - ‘I wish you well, but we have no work for you here currently‘ #TheArchers

Why don’t they go anywhere for lunch instead of the pub where half of those affected by George’s actions work, and the others are likely to pop in? There must be other places nearby. #TheArchers

Adam - been farming for 40 years, experienced in all aspects of farm management
Ruari - recent grad with business degree, doesn’t much like his city job, never expressed much enthusiasm for farming, experience as a gigolo
Brian - ‘thank goodness Ruari is back to save the day’ #TheArchers

Why was the flower and produce show at Grey Gables again? Why would wedding guests think there’d be a buffet of cakes before a wedding meal? Why was no one around to tell them otherwise? It’s all mad. #TheArchers

I’m surprised that no one reminds Amber that Susan and Neil also love their granddaughter Martha, and had a responsibility there as well. They couldn’t allow Alice to be wrongly punished for George’s actions. #TheArchers

I’ve never understood the whole situation of Adam working at Bridge Farm. He’s experienced as a manager, and a share holder in Home Farm. I know there was the issue of the fallout with Brian, but asking Pat for an afternoon off is embarrassing #TheArchers

Very little is made of Susan’s role as postmistress. Surely there are all sorts of technical and legal issues that need taking into account with that aspect of the shop? Or have I missed something? #TheArchers

They need to give Rosie a voice. It’s ridiculous having a character central to storylines as a silent. Let’s hear how dreadful she is. #TheArchers
