Just finished omnibus. What a week of love, grief, forgiveness, and community. Joy’s care for Rochelle, Emma gently attending to Kate’s guilt, the echo of Peggy’s voice with Tennyson. And don't get me started on Hilda! I had to check the writers names to silently doff my hat. #TheArchers

Are they going to dig up evidence of Neil's biological father in this? Is that who Reg D is? Or am I way out with dates? #TheArchers

Joy’s epiphany on Seaham beach, place where sea glass washes up, softened by time, was beautifully echoed in her quiet honesty with Rochelle last night in #TheArchers. She named her part in the past without blame. Rochelle wasn’t ready, but Joy stayed kind. The past is weathered. What next? SW ❤️ ⭐💯

If it's a garden hose btw and his wife left with the gardener - I reckon he banged on about that damn engineered wood floor one time too many. #TheArchers

The SW have me right where they want me. Brian's fury at Martyn feeling consequences while Pat n Helen assure themselves a box of chocolates makes up for the diabolical consequences they have foisted upon Clarrie. Yes, the working class woman is in peril but the rich man has a wet floor! #TheArchers

Helen: "as long as there's no hard feelings".
Me: quickly pauses BBC sounds to take a moment to compose myself.
Yes, Helen, that's what's most important. It's only ever your mental health that really counts of course. Poor lovely Clarrie. #TheArchers

I don't want to wind all the #TheArchers online community up, but that was a beautiful episode and was wholly right and exact (IMO, of course). I love The Grundys and The Carters, they have more integrity than every Archer and Aldridge put together and x2. Good on ya, Robert.

Kirsty is now my favourite and that's that (sorry, Joy). May your doomed house bring a plague on Tom and Natasha so that sniveling sausage boy will finally feel some *consequences* of his actions! [Raises fists to the sky] #TheArchers

I wish Neil had finished off his objection to Pat by reminding her that Bridge Farm is responsible for the diary business, not the water company. And that pink wellies don't make up for weeks of cleaning graft, followed by making employees fight for a job in a game of HR musical chairs. #TheArchers

All possible! Has anyone suggested yet, he's continually denied, and increasingly frustrated, drives it anyway (and there is an accident). He seems too sensible but he's also quite independent. #TheArchers

Am I over-egging it or is Natasha perhaps genuinely terrible? Her mock empathy to Kirsty, Pat, and Tony that seems solely to her own end. Stealing Fallon's business and then attacking her for daring to try again at The Bull. Flipping the script regularly to manipulate. I'm scared of her! #TheArchers

Isn't Natasha going to be absolutely*livid* that Pat and Emma are drawing attention to the sewerage on Radio Borchester when she's trying to draw customers back? #TheArchers

Archers friends - how do folk feel about Alice? I didn't think she could wind me up more yet she 'canters on'. She sounds so *terribly terribly* posh right now. And it's like she keeps landing in horse manure and coming out smelling of roses. Am I just too prejudiced by my frustration? #TheArchers

Imagine, your spouse's ex lives locally, your fella stood her up at the altar and they lost a wanted pregnancy. She then got a dream home with a new bloke and it ended in disaster for her so she's selling up. So you try to *buy that house for you and her ex and your kids*. #TheArchers
