Maybe he carries a spotlight with him wherever he goes... 😉 I'm too old for "lit" (and younger than Anna!) but I thought it meant cool or fun. Is that really Rex?! Urban Dictionary tells me it also means drunk - so it's bad news for Alice if Rex is always hammered! #TheArchers

I listened twice and you've said it too so it must be true - did Anna really call Rex "well lit"?! Anna?!! A 57 year old barrister? #TheArchers

Glorious when a friend messages to wish you a happy Frank Mills day, and to remind you to get #Lemonheads tickets with them next month. Can't wait. Evan is always full of surprises...

Oh no! That's really sad. It was fun, but tbh, the content was pretty much what the actors have been saying when they've been on the Beeb companion podcast anyway. #TheArchers

Amazing! It was great fun wasn't it! And yes wow. I think we confused the whole of Oxford - people were coming up to the queue asking what we were waiting for! Madness we only 15 mins to get a drink and settled. Any idea why?! #TheArchers

I guess not. He hadn't met Fallon before. Odd. #TheArchers

I thought younger too (although admittedly he doesn't sound it to me), to mirror a similar age gap between Harrison and Lily. But... Fallon said no. Harrison did not.... #TheArchers

Reading a publication of a realist review: "...however, the technique for identifying and incorporating CMOCs into theory refinement is not clearly defined in the extant literature." Made me smile. No, it never is... 😜 #Realist #Research #Methods

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title is “Cats living together”.
The first panel shows a black cat and orange cat cuddling with their eyes closed. The orange cat says “I love you”. The black cat says “I love you too”.
The second panel zooms in on them. 
The third panel shows the orange cat opening its eyes.
The fourth panel shows the orange cat raising its paw to punch the black cat. It says, “Actually you know what”.

Putting clunky plot-shifting reasons aside, I can't understand why Brad told a child, George's little sister, about this. #TheArchers

We are truly living in the future.
Four panel comic: panel 1, a figure is talking to a computer, labeled 'Super AI Bot', saying "AI, take this data and write a scientific paper with it." The computer reads "] TASK ACCEPTED". Panel 2 titled 'seconds later' the computer is handing a paper back to the figure with screen text that says '] HERE IS THE PAPER I ALSO SUBMITTED IT TO A HIGH-TIER JOURNAL.". Panel 3, the figure exclaims 'Wow! That's amazing! This really IS the future." computer screen reads '] YES.      I KNOW'. Panel 4 the figure is looking at the paper saying 'Hey! Wait a minute... I'm not an author! I'm in the acknowledgements!" computer reads '] PREPARING PRESS RELEASE'

Transmission to those around me: either use the title 'Dr' or put 'PhD' after your name. You do NOT do both. Over and out.

Reunion time! My old psychopharmacology research unit, plus some extras. Amazing to be part of a work team that were, and still are, like family. And yes, we were all obliged to have some Sentia! 🍹 #Research #Psychopharm #Psychopharmacology #Psychiatry

Unpopular opinion (!) but I think I can understand Tom's reaction. Yes, it could be that he has awful ownership/entitlement issues. However, I think he thought, that despite everything, he still had a special profound connection with Kirsty. He now knows Kirsty does not feel the same. 😬 #TheArchers

A fantastic day as always at the @chcr-uwe.bsky.social showcase conference, if I say so myself. 😊 Yes, it's a lot of hard work to organise, but it's great to see all the presentations and posters, and hear all the excited chatting and networking. Thank you to everyone who supported us! #CHCR2026

I'm 100% with Keira about not wanting the limelight. It's not easy to avoid in my line of work and it means I'll never get promotion, but it's just not the way I'm made. I'm slightly disappointed she relented and agreed to it, but also it'll make a nice Grundy moment at the show. #TheArchers

#IWD seems a good time to thank @nihr.bsky.social for the recent policy regarding sex and gender in health and care research. Recognising difference by disaggregating is important to make sure healthcare works for everyone. www.nihr.ac.uk/about-us/who...

The last two eps (4 & 5) from the last @academicarchers.bsky.social conference are so interesting. Making #TheArchers sounds like a logistical nightmare - I'll be tempering my complaints in future! Hats off to all involved. academicarchers.buzzsprout.com

Me too. I know Ruairi was dumped on them, but they're being weirdly snotty about him. Hannah is prone to nasty envy though. #TheArchers

Ha! Love that idea! ☺️ Chelsea's accent went a bit wobbly too the other day when she was excited about the horse box. Esme's affliction does seem to be catching. #TheArchers
