So Akram's dreams of farming rather than plumbing are realised when the Maliks take over Esme's farm? #TheArchers

Very few of the characters in #TheArchers have any experience of life beyond the bypass let alone the boundaries of Borsetshire, so going to Australia really is mind boggling for most of the residents. Go Lily!

So I think we've all worked out that this massive family holiday with only some of the family actually going on said holiday = massive family fall out #TheArchers

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

So that's Josh sorted with Esme and her farm, which means we're stuck with Pip taking over Brookfield #TheArchers

As far as Emma is concerned, it is always someone else's fault #TheArchers

Yes! Doc Locke is my main concern. #TheArchers

Surprised myself by thinking "poor George" there ... #TheArchers

Saw Bacchae at the #NationalTheatre last night. Now I know why we haven't heard Denise for ages: Clare Perkins is a bit busy #TheArchers

That's a very impressive time. Well done John!

I loved The Plarchers #TheArchers

Neil or George? ##TheArchers

Hilarious so many of us picked up on the fact that the shop doesn't sell light bulbs.

So was I

Hellin is behaving like a lovestruck 15 year old and is besotted. We're all just going to have to listen to her on the emotional rollercoaster. I predict plenty of shouting at the radio in the coming weeks.

This is worth reading, if you really want to inform yourself:

Aunt not great aunt. Shula's father (Phil) and Peggy's first husband (Jack) were brothers

Yes absolutely right. Butter on scones (and even now I would only have butter on a fruit scone), and clotted cream only when my Nan went on her annual holiday to Cornwall and sent it to us by post in a tin. Only way you could get it without heading to the SW. This would have been in the 60s

We are all willing him on
#TheArchers

Excellent theory #TheArchers

I think it could still be very very much worse #TheArchers

Just caught up with #TheArchers We know what Rochelle is up to and what Vince would like to be up to, but I still can't fathom why Joy has done a runner

I thought that too
