is Brian really his baffled about why Adam is hurt? Is Adam really convinced it is better for Xander to just cut Brian off? Feeling like all realism was saved for the Grundies this week. #TheArchers

Sending hugs to anyone for whom Amber's current scenario is all too familiar. Hang on in there! #TheArchers

Morning all! Ready to spend a week with a newborn in just 75 minutes? #TheArchers

My rebound relationship has only lasted 34 years so far. Who knows what the future holds for Lily and Harrison #TheArchers

Having 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

It was always deli lunch for us - I think it's the same thing? Cold stuff from a deli... Sorry to be so bougie #TheArchers

Getting a little bit excited for Portsmouth this afternoon. Who else is heading to #ArchersLiveAt75 #TheArchers ?

If Amber's nausea is like mine was during pregnancy, she couldn't tolerate George eating cheese and onion crisps near her! #TheArchers

I don't think it's just your brain that went to mush, Helen, judging by how breathy you sound. #TheArchers

With 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!

A book celebrating 50 years of the archers

George being magnanimous to Josh for letting the cows escape is setting my teeth on edge #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Struggling with why Akram is (a) working in the dairy, and (b) being such an idiot as to rearrange Susan's pots. #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

We’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

#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?

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

I vote Brian and Siobhan, culminating in Ruaridh but with lots of drama on the way, including when Debbie realised who Ruaridh’s father was. #TheArchers

Done it several times. Some have hot and cold plumbing, others less salubrious but always glorious to see the sun rise through a stained glass window. #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Sorry to hear this Charlie. You’re definitely not alone - a lot of us on here struggling with such things and using the silliness for escapism. Thinking of you.

I 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

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

Am I the only one dreading George getting a homemade prison tattoo of “Amber”, maybe with a heart? #TheArchers

Nigella’s coffee and walnut cake. Easy recipe, looks impressive, holds a shape - we made a 99 for a birthday just last week! #TheArchers

I 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

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

How 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

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

A 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

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

Can I have points for saying on this week’s @dumteedum.bsky.social podcast that all the lurid speculation about Rochelle was wrong? Not dead, not trans, just estranged. #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

My Christmas Day is complete. Hoping everyone else in Ambridge is having a lovely day #TheArchers

050

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

I 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.

Dinner 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...

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Jealous! Grew up with a golden cocker spaniel but now will with someone allergic to all furries! #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Genuinely 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.

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 20/10/2024

That’s right Emma, find someone else to blame for how George ended up inside. #TheArchers

010

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 01/10/2024

I’m confused: why does Alice call Lillian, who she works with every day, Auntie Lillian, but Pat is just Pat? #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 29/09/2024

Is it wrong to have sudden respect for George for recognising that Eddy is a stupid old fool? #TheArchers

010

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 21/08/2024

Am 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

Thing 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 · 28/07/2024

So do we think Paul inherited his over-dramatic tendencies from his mother, Denise "I've ruined everything"? #TheArchers

030

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 14/07/2024

Anyone else getting the total ick from Pip calling Stella a 'naughty girl'? #TheArchers

030

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 23/06/2024

I 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 · 16/06/2024

So, 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 · 16/06/2024

I'm 100% team Fallon on this. Sympathy for Harrison and all, but his excuse *is* pathetic #TheArchers

010

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 16/06/2024

Well, that lasted about 5 minutes, didn't it. Shame. #TheArchers

020

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 16/06/2024

I'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 · 09/06/2024

Has 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 · 26/05/2024

I took it as him realising he needed to be kinder to her and what she was feeling, and beginning to recognise what he might have lost but maybe the rainbow I could see at the time had got inside my head #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 21/04/2024

Kenton and Natasha confirming all the worst things I've ever imagined about incestuous villages where everyone knows everyone. #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 24/03/2024

Not sure London can compete with the Duxford sisters of Les Souers Heureuse though #TheArchers

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 24/03/2024

And home in time to sort the next day!

Purple Pumpkin @purplepumpkin63.bsky.social · 24/03/2024

A 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 · 24/03/2024

Thanks, very civilised to have a lunchtime party - note taken! #TheArchers
