So what was the point of the Gills? I wonder what the S/Ws originally intended for them, and why they changed their minds? #thearchers

Ok so I have to agree that the dialogue is much more punchy but I’m not sure about the s/l. #thearchers

Well we have heard of her before , but even so her inclusion now is all a bit random. Maybe someone wants to introduce a new bunch of potential characters? #thearchers

It’s the improbable accent. For me it really grates.

I don’t think I can bear to listen to Esme. #thearchers

'The Immortal Memory!' Today is the 220th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. Happy Trafalgar Day, most particularly to all who serve, or have served, in the British Fleet. #RoyalNavy Image: Lemuel Francis Abbott, 'Rear-Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson' (1799), National Maritime Museum.

This “which of us is going to run the farm” conversation is getting painfully simplistic. #thearchers

Wouldn’t it make more sense for Ruari to sign up for a course at Cirencester or somewhere similar? ( AndI know I can’t spell his name correctly……) #thearchers

Hallowe’en seems to have gone from an e’en to what is more or less a season. #thearchers

The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

We're pleased to share that, from spring 2026, we will take on the care and management of the museums, buildings and monuments that represent the birthplace of the industrial revolution within the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site in Shropshire.

Red brick industrial buildings around a work yard in a leafy area. The trees behind the buildings are in autumn colour.

It used to be funny and clever especially when people like Sue Perkins and Sandi Toksvig were on it. Now it’s just an excuse for a few comedians to waffle.

Yes, that was the name: Bruno#thearchers

Aren’t there agencies who can supply temporary workers for situations such as this? #thearchers

Yes I think he was. With a very original name, I believe. #thearchers

Jane's Kintbury @walbury2024.bsky.social · 6d

Yes I remember the fostering S/L. #thearchers I liked Caroline. She did a lot to help Will and I loved the scenes between her and Shula.

He’ll still be known as Prince, apparently.So saying he’s giving up all his titles isn’t quite right☹️#thearchers #theroyals
