Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Do shut up, Ruth. Not listening to Anna, not helping. @dumteedum.bsky.social #TheArchers 000
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 20/09/2026My rebound relationship has only lasted 34 years so far. Who knows what the future holds for Lily and Harrison #TheArchers 2103
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Having been in the same position as Anna, if you don't know for sure, you have to say that resuscitation is OK. My (late) father confirmed after the fact that he wanted every effort made until the end. #TheArchers 063
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Getting a little bit excited for Portsmouth this afternoon. Who else is heading to #ArchersLiveAt75 #TheArchers ? 012
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 15/03/2026If Amber's nausea is like mine was during pregnancy, she couldn't tolerate George eating cheese and onion crisps near her! #TheArchers 232
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I don't think it's just your brain that went to mush, Helen, judging by how breathy you sound. #TheArchers 000
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 22/02/2026With the #TheArchers 75th anniversary, someone in North London seems to have decided they don't need a 25-year-old book. Their donation to a charity shop, my gain! 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 08/02/2026George being magnanimous to Josh for letting the cows escape is setting my teeth on edge #TheArchers 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Struggling with why Akram is (a) working in the dairy, and (b) being such an idiot as to rearrange Susan's pots. #TheArchers 000
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 29/12/2025We’ll blow me down. I finally feel more sorry for George than angry with him. What a family. I’ve always disliked Eddie and now he has put the final boot in. #TheArchers 140
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 22/12/2025#TheArchers spoiler alert Why are William and David Troughton - Tom and Tony Archer - given a full page article in the Christmas Radio Times? Fuel to those who think Pat may be unwell by the new year? 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 27/07/2025I am Mum and my partner is Mummy (yes still, 20 years on), but we were both present at the conception and birth, unlike Stella #TheArchers 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Am I the only one dreading George getting a homemade prison tattoo of “Amber”, maybe with a heart? #TheArchers 230
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 02/02/2025I suppose one thing this daft panto week has over the daft Christmas carol week and the daft scam week is that at least the pantomime is a regular feature of the Ambridge year. #TheArchers. @dumteedum 230
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 12/01/2025How about offering Tracy some sous-chef shifts under Fallon, e.g. on Burns night? Or is that way too sensible for the Beavis and Butthead of the Bull? #TheArchers 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 10/01/2025A little light gloating today that one of my plot predictions for 2025 on @DumTeeDum.bsky.social has come true already: Leonard as a permanent fixture at Brookfield, like Lewis at LoLo, possibly outlasting Jill 😔 #TheArchers 150
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 25/12/2024My Christmas Day is complete. Hoping everyone else in Ambridge is having a lovely day #TheArchers 050
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 22/12/2024I have long complained that all the old folk on #TheArchers age so gracefully with no infirmity or family meetings about their needs. But now Leonard is being such a pain the wotsits with his broken wrist, I am immensely grateful this'll be over in a few weeks. 000
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Dinner last night with a #TheArchers-listening friend. We were discussing random Christmassy things when suddenly she said: "Beavers!". It truly is a new national pastime... 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Genuinely embarrassed that this is the week I introduced my US sister-in-law to #TheArchers. Guess I'd better find out what she made of it. Sigh. 230
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 20/10/2024That’s right Emma, find someone else to blame for how George ended up inside. #TheArchers 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 01/10/2024I’m confused: why does Alice call Lillian, who she works with every day, Auntie Lillian, but Pat is just Pat? #TheArchers 450
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 29/09/2024Is it wrong to have sudden respect for George for recognising that Eddy is a stupid old fool? #TheArchers 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 21/08/2024Am I the only one to think George got the Bartleby money and went along with Tilly Button on her post A levels travels to Canada? #TheArchers 370
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 28/07/2024Thing is, I do have some sympathy with Paul: that awful moment when you realise you've been lied to, and your certainties in life are shaken - but I still have no sympathy with the way he's behaving. #TheArchers 060
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 28/07/2024So do we think Paul inherited his over-dramatic tendencies from his mother, Denise "I've ruined everything"? #TheArchers 030
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 14/07/2024Anyone else getting the total ick from Pip calling Stella a 'naughty girl'? #TheArchers 030
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 23/06/2024I know Kirsty is suggesting that the prayers are not such a terrible thing, but having been in a relationship with an inveterate liar, all the lies pile up and get to be too much even when they seem petty to others #TheArchers 050
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 16/06/2024So, now Fallon's heard about Etienne's proposed polyamory, is Harrison going to suggest he gets a concubine to have his children? #TheArchers 220
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 16/06/2024I'm 100% team Fallon on this. Sympathy for Harrison and all, but his excuse *is* pathetic #TheArchers 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 16/06/2024Well, that lasted about 5 minutes, didn't it. Shame. #TheArchers 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 16/06/2024I'm a bit sad about how long the Farrison storyline is being dragged out, not just for their relationship (fictional?!) but also for the animosity it's creating among fans on the socials #TheArchers 000
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 09/06/2024Has Harrison come out the other side of his mini-breakdown? It would be so nice if he and Fallon could have some grown-up conversations and then stick together! A view I expressed on this week's @dumteedum.bsky.social podcast #TheArchers 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 21/04/2024Kenton and Natasha confirming all the worst things I've ever imagined about incestuous villages where everyone knows everyone. #TheArchers 150
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 21/04/2024Alice cockblocking Chrihanna there? #TheArchers 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 24/03/2024A little bit irritated by this. What women of Stella's age and good sense starts a relationship with someone with a child without discussing what their relationship to the child will be, what the boundaries are, etc. Pip might be an idiot but Stella isn't #TheArchers 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 24/03/2024All dolled up in my glad rags ready to go to an 80th birthday lunch, but delighted that @BBCRadio4 hasn't yet deprived us of the pleasure of the live pre-lunchtime tweetalong #TheArchers @dumteedum.bsky.social 230
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 10/03/2024Ah Mother's Day. Breakfast has been served and now I get to listen to #TheArchers without interruption. Bliss. 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 11/02/2024Covid in Ambridge klaxon! First real-time case in four years? #TheArchers 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 04/02/2024Morning all #TheArchers twitterati. I missed last weekend, so look forward to an extra special supply of bons mots this morning for @dumteedum.bsky.social listeners to enjoy. 031
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 14/01/2024Struggling with the storylines in #TheArchers at present. All seem dull. Please send witty tweets and tag @dumteedum.bsky.social 120
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 17/12/2023#TheArchers isn't quite amusing enough to cheer me up after the disappointment of last night's #StrictlyFinal 220
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 17/12/2023As noted on this week's @dumteedum.bsky.social, I sympathise with this view from Ian, I remember it, but he should have had the realisation some time ago, given how old Xander is. He's nearly at the age my daughter was when she asked if we could explain for a bit so she didn't have to. #TheArchers 020
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 17/12/2023Should have psoted that from this account, sorry - live-tweeting from two accounts on each of X and bsky is obviously challenging my multitasking! #TheArchers 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 15/12/2023Oh Harry. I think I might have something in my eye. #TheArchers 131
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 12/12/2023Excited to be planning for recording of this week’s @dumteedum.bsky.social podcast with @wenlock.bsky.social. Please do call in to speakpipe.com/dumteedum to tell us what you think about this week's #TheArchers 041
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 10/12/2023Excited to be back in my own living room for this week's #TheArchers omnishambles @dumteedum.bsky.social 010
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 03/11/2023Last call for ... calls! @wenlock.bsky.social and I will be recording this week's @dumteedum.bsky.social podcast tomorrow morning, so do call in to speakpipe.com/dumteedum and tell us what you think of this week on #TheArchers! 121
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 15/10/2023Reminder, the Helen Archer fan club is always open, for those of you who resognise her wonderfulness this week. #TheArchers 000
Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 15/10/2023For Titchener, Usha, I would favour Rowan Atkinson's insult: I wouldn't trust him to sit the right way on a toilet (even less trust than as far as I could throw him). #TheArchers 000
