If anyone’s wondering…. Steph & Beth are the children of Vince & his first wife. Shelley is his youngest, she is about 14-16 now I’d say. There’s also a step-son somewhere. #TheArchers

We’ve had a mention of Beth! But nothing of what she’s been up to for the last four years. #TheArchers

This is the first time we’ve heard Vince since the Lower Loxley Halloween celebration on 31st October 2025. #TheArchers

….who kissed Ben not other way around. I can’t recall anything about her & Vince falling out aside from being cross with her over Ben. If anything Steph was Vince’s favourite over Beth. I will concede Nynzi’s point though; no Ben & Beth was disappointing. #TheArchers

Absolutely no idea I’m afraid. This is the very first time we’ve heard of her in a few years. Last time when was mentioned was I think 3 years ago when Vince had dinner with her off-mic. The last time we heard Steph properly was when she confessed it was her…. #TheArchers

Yes! With her and her then-fiancé/husband Liam. When Freddie turned her down Steph got Freddie to ask Lily if she’d be interested. Oh yes & one other thing- during the nine month marriage Steph cheated on Liam with the best man Flynn for the last five months. What a smegging hypocrite! #TheArchers

They did a campervan thing circa 2012 when Fallon was on a road trip with Lance Armstrong but he was disgraced soon after and lost all his titles (or something like that - it was an Ambridge Extra thing and almost certainly involved a cyclist) #TheArchers

As it turned out Grant was Harry’s ex-boyfriend and the two slept together (and while that was happening Jazzer & Fallon had their one night stand. Poor Kirsty spent the night trying to tempt Grant…who was gay). 2/2 #TheArchers

There was indeed a cyclist involved: Harry the Milkman who Fallon was eager in…getting to know better. He was uninterested in her She, Kirsty & Jazzer were on a trip to music festival and ended up having to stay with Harry’s friend…also called Grant funnily enough. 1/2 #TheArchers

So the whole family is just overlooking Vince’s efforts to drive Ben to suicide? Just a funny awkward story to chuckle over? These people are psychopaths! #TheArchers

Been playing about the with gouache cuz the paper is so much cheaper.
An assortment of speedily done chickens and a rooster. It started with a blue sky and grass background and then the autumnal tree right hand side. Then the row of pine trees in the left background. 
Then a buddleia in the bottom left. Then added a man and his dog cuz the middle looked empty.

It’s owned by Brookfield now. It was owned by Jill and was going to be left to Shula & Elizabeth…right up until this year when the SWs thought Brookfield owned it when doing the inheritance episode. A few lines covered that up stating D&R brought S&E out were added to a later ep. #TheArchers

There seem to be rather a lot of cuts to this Omnibus unfortunately. (Emma & George discussing food, Freddie & Elizabeth arriving at The Stables and I think Susan & Amber talking about Poppy’s birthday). #TheArchers

Thanks. I wish Omnicuts didn’t exist, they often make the Omnibus seem disjointed. There were a few cuts from 2020 to mid 2022 though due to the episode count changing. #TheArchers

There’s probably designated footwear & clothing for different jobs to prevent any contamination issues. For example David had to wear different overalls for milking Brookfield cows & Meadow Farm cows. #TheArchers

I like how in this part of the omnibus we get a listen to Brookfield’s…decontamination(??) procedures. Pip intensely washing her hands then having to change boots. I wonder if like Berrow Brookfield have a strict washing cycle for coveralls? #TheArchers

Yes, that’s because the theme music is cut. Previously every episode could be included whole but due to the 11:00 time change 3 minutes have to be cut now because the news bulletin. #TheArchers

md05.bsky.social @md05.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It’s because of the cuts that have to be done to the Ominibus due to the time-slot change back in 2024. They can get very annoying at times imo. #TheArchers

Unfortunately that didn’t occur to them🙄. It was sold to fan* of Russ’ called Kevin Ambrose. I think the proceeds from the sale were to get Russ to properly out of their hair. Russ rename the painting to something like ‘Betrayl’ out of spite. *Yes, they apparently exist. 1/2 #TheArchers

Emma Grundy returns! She’s been Silent since the 9th of April (Carol was trying to get her to be her cleaner when the Easter Promises Tree was up). So far she hasn’t (and won’t for a while it seems) had any scenes with her newly-speaking daughter Keira. #TheArchers

I’ve been thinking about that too, maybe for WW2’s centenary to be exact. I can see it being a bit more complex to go with the more complex WW2. #TheArchers
