That β€˜s just because every member of the Grundy family worships George for some strange reason and he can do no wrong because they are terrified of making him cross and not love them. Such power he wields -mostly because of the guilt felt by Emma. #TheArchers

Another evening of shouting at a drama β€œwhy are you even IN the police force? Everything you have to do is against your principles or views. Get out now.

Do you mean George?

Brad had a full sexual relationship with Mia.

Is this the first time a politician has made a speech accompanied by a ventriloquist’s doll in the form of a judge’s wig?

And why hasn’t she got massage oil and lube thro Insta sponsorship deals? I’m suspicious that she seems to have to buy so much stuff (including the β€œhealthy options” snacks) #TheArchers

Do we really think he fancies Amber? Even if he doesn’t, going with Amber to buy the lube is a bit much. #TheArchers

I generally dislike Mike but anyone who can convince Brad to distrust George is good in my book. #TheArchers

Just the school’s I thought. Otherwise an odd time of day/week for a church service. #TheArchers

In fact, how about THAT for a plot line - George and WILL in love match over Amber.

Not that I would wish either on Amber.

Nah. Will seems to be totally adoring of Amber and thinks everything she does on the socials is wonderful. It’s ALMOST a bit creepy. #TheArchers

A shingle beach, with the sea beyond and a pleasant sky above.

A couple of Arctic Skuas were bothering Sandwich Terns close in at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve this morning. Like they don't have enough to worry about, with a 4,000km journey to West Africa looming.

It’s a shame that her voice makes her sound
a) cross
b) ”how can you be so stupid that I’m having to explain this to you?”
c) we have lots of solutions but I can’t be bothered to explain them to you

Interesting. But the whole event just seemed to me to stoke his obsession with β€œthe world is out to get poor little Georgie” and β€œI’m dead tough, me”.

Massive rabbit-hole #localhistory research envy:

OH spots story in local Brighton paper about a bigamous marriage (in 1904) Decides to investigate -leads to tale of 2 London murders (one the Kennington Murderer) as well as the original bigamy story, and probable PTSD

Tragic, but fascinating.

No. No. No. Sexual intercourse does NOT have to mean pregnancy. That plot line has been SO overdone on #TheArchers for ever. Please let’s get a more interesting prediction. I’d rather Amber turned into a bunny boiler because Brad doesn’t her advances?

I remember her Putney Commons diary in the ST. Unrelentingly middle class but very funny & some relatable bits- having too many people for a meal & not enough crockery - so the Star Guest ends up with the child’s plate with the rabbits-round-the-edge. Her column was far cleaner than her books!

I really hope this is true.

If it means Amber decides Brad isn’t going to be her saviour then thank goodness. #TheArchers

Brad speaks what he thinks. He doesn’t always understand what the effect might be.

Don’t bother catching up! You’ll be surprised how little stories have developed! And where things have changed, it’s fun trying to work out what has happened. #TheArchers
