Neil's provenance was a quietly held mystery for 50 years and suddenly newcomer Joy has heard all about it!? This storyline is turning daft very fast. #TheArchers

The world would be a better place if Neil Carter could be put in charge of everything #TheArchers #BeMoreNeil #Dumteedum

And just like that, I'm more upset for Fallon than anyone else #TheArchers

That church seemed incredibly echoey as Joy walked in. #TheArchers #AcademicArchers

This excruciating conversation between Alistair and Laura is exactly how I imagine dating might be if I ever decided to start doing it. Which is why I am not intending to start dating. #TheArchers #AcademicArchers

I just can't imagine Lillian giving Martha a bath and getting her to bed. Is it just me? #TheArchers #AcademicArchers

Harrison is so encouraging in the face of incompetence, bless him for being kind to Henry. #TheArchers

Helen's back and reminding me of all the reasons I don't like her #TheArchers #AcademicArchers

"Oh Alistair I just don't know" is pretty much the same as Denise has been saying for months now. #TheArchers #AcademicArchers

Gearing up for the #TheArchers Live Listen at the Academic Archers conference 2024. A highlight of the weekend 👍

Oh Alice you really need some help! Henry, by contrast, is shaping up to be the most sensible person in the village - who would have predicted that??? Certainly not me. #TheArchers

Shame on you Susan. Sometimes you're a terrible person who bullies and demeans your best and longest friend just for a bit of ephemeral perceived status. #TheArchers

Jolene and Kenton clearly should have been listening to @dumteedum.bsky.social and the excellent history of The Bull from @wenlock.bsky.social to understand the background to Neville Booth's claims of longevity #TheArchers

" I find the sudden starkness quite calming". Oh, Jakob, don't ever change. You are brilliant 😂 #TheArchers

"There's an element of risk in everything Em" Especially when you're both wielding chainsaws... And intending to pass the business down to your kids which includes George 😱 #TheArchers

For God's sake Lillian, this isn't like you. Get a grip! Jolene deserves a peacekeeping medal. #TheArchers

Good to hear Joy and David reflecting on how BRILLIANT Joy was when Ben was in crisis last year. #BeMoreJoy

Never mind a crowdfunder to send Tom to Brazil, let's all get together and send Clarrie somewhere warm and relaxing for at least a year #TheArchers

"You'll just have to wait for your time" Yay! Well said Helen #TheArchers

We are really enjoying Helen toying with Rob, and coming out on top. Very little sympathy for Rob here at the Lickey Hills gathering. #TheArchers

Claire Astbury @clairejastbury.bsky.social · 19/11/2023

"We all know that sometimes our kids prefer someone from outside the family" This has really sad resonance coming from Joy's mouth, given the ongoing absence of Rochelle. #TheArchers

Nice to hear Helen recognising Lee's qualities. #TheArchers

What would the distressed of Ambridge do without Joy? She's such a rock and amazingly supportive. #TheArchers

Rob is talking in his sleep, I wonder if he's contemplating tuna bake and custard... #TheArchers

Claire Astbury @clairejastbury.bsky.social · 19/11/2023

Rob tries to engender pity by reminding Helen he's dying, then he says that he's strong and Miles is weak. He really does turn in an instant. #TheArchers

Claire Astbury @clairejastbury.bsky.social · 19/11/2023

We've had a discussion this weekend of the many ways that Helen says "Fine". She really knows how to use that word, usually when things are not fine. #TheArchers

Claire Astbury @clairejastbury.bsky.social · 19/11/2023

Is anyone putting together a "Motivational Speakers of 2023" compilation? First Eddie and now Lillian giving life advice. Also, Joy regularly dispenses comforting wisdom #TheArchers

Claire Astbury @clairejastbury.bsky.social · 19/11/2023

"You couldn't stay away" says Rob. Sadly that seems to be true. Nobody posts anything in Ambridge. Still, there's a history of post box arson so maybe that's understandable. #TheArchers

Claire Astbury @clairejastbury.bsky.social · 19/11/2023

Alice, it's ok to do Step 10 and promptly apologise to Harry but there's no need to be so fawning. Get a grip lady! And don't let Lillian's dubious judgement and attitude about men sway you. #TheArchers

This was all just a ruse by Kate to fulfill a fantasy of seeing Jakob in a leather skirt wasn't it? #TheArchers

This bit of sobbing by Rob is giving me 'Scrooge clutching the robes of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come' vibes. #TheArchers

Claire Astbury @clairejastbury.bsky.social · 19/11/2023

Did Harry call Alice Miss Carter? Maybe Ms Carter. Is she using Mrs Carter? And would he still be flirting with her if he thought she was married? #TheArchers

"No-one likes to hear their horse has been impaled on a fence" I mean, I'm not a fan of Harry Chilcott but he's got a point there. #TheArchers

Alice has the measure of Harry before she meets him. Shame she buckles to Lillian's pressure to toady to him #TheArchers

Dear Loxley Barratt Primary, Jack won't be at school tomorrow because I'm taking him to visit his father who has a non-molestation order not to be near him, and is about to die. Maybe don't pass this on to the Safeguarding Lead. Yours, Helen Archer #TheArchers

If I was going to do yoga with Spiritual Home, I'm not sure whether a church is a better venue than a yurt. #TheArchers

Miles shouldn't be so pushy, even if he is worried. #TheArchers

I know this is dreadful stereotyping but I'm imagining that Harry Chilcott is a short guy who likes to feel important. #TheArchers

General view in the Lickey Hills room is that you should never agree to Kate. #TheArchers

If Gladiator was the biggest film of 2000, it actually predates Rauiri's birth by a couple of years #TheArchers

How does Shiv manage to look younger every time Alan sees him? Maybe because he's been recast? #TheArchers

Do we think Peggy went to a different remembrance service? Seems a bit out of character for her to not attend one at all. #TheArchers
