I don’t think we did. There was mention of a donation to a dementia charity but no indication as to how much, or whether that was everything or not. All very strange, and I can’t believe they’re all being so blasé about it. #TheArchers

‘Acquaintances’ sounds delightfully Jane Austen.

Me neither. Posh blokes killing things, I think

Yes - I’d put him more down as a Horse and Hounds fella #TheArchers

Bizarre isn’t it? Just subscribe direct. Plus I can’t recall Oliver ever mentioning shooting before. #TheArchers

Amber: ‘Guess what - Lower Loxley is fabulous, and you’ll never believe it but they have a cancellation for the week after George is released. We’d love to take you up on your offer - can you send the £25k direct to Elizabeth please?’ #TheArchers

Will. You absolute idiot. #TheArchers

I feel I’ve missed Lily graduating, and any mention of Australia until tonight. Is it just me? #TheArchers

‘My Amber was once quite a nerd
But her fairy godmother must’ve heard
Cos now she’s well fit
With some nice enhanced bits
And I no longer feel such a turd’

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

David prefers Stella to Pip, right? #TheArchers

I like the fact that ‘the whole family’ was Emma, and not Keira and the rest of them. #TheArchers

I’ll miss them. It won’t be the same without their quiet contributions and implausible renovations. #TheArchers

Me too. Kenton is so annoying, I’m wondering if it’s folk he’s ordered to stop using their phones, or runners up in one of the pub competitions #TheArchers

It’s one of the most unrealistic things in Ambridge - this propensity for big social events on week nights. It must be because they don’t have Saturdays there. #TheArchers

It turns out Martyn Gibson is also Harry Enfield’s Mr Cholmondley Warner. The comedic expansion of the character is making sense….. #TheArchers

I can’t imagine what his job actually involves. Maybe he’s a jester, retained to reassure GG guests of their superiority #TheArchers

Thinking again about the Mick appearance this week. Is he not employed at Grey Gables in some security capacity? Why would he then act like such a complete idiot when volunteering at The Bull? #TheArchers

Am I wrong in thinking that Oliver still lives at Grange Farm with the Grundys in some strange landlord/lodger mash up? Or does he have a room at his hotel? #TheArchers

Good point. Jazzer wouldn’t have had his drums when he lived with Jim, and he’s probably got even less space now.

Can’t Dross do some apposite covers?

-Take me to the river
-It wasn’t me

Why on earth were they all so grateful to him for his nomination, based on their willingness to be scammed by a well known chancer. As if he didn’t know the pub well enough to nominate them anyway, if he wanted to. Ridiculous and bizarre #TheArchers

I hate those little chuckles Eddie does as he speaks. I hate Eddie, in fact. #theArchers

What the hell is wrong with this stupid pub and their stupid ideas? This has made me angrier than George Grundy’s shenanigans #TheArchers

Spot on. And by the way, loved the Netherbourne advert in the latest pod episode 👏👏👏 #TheArchers
