I’m off to email Ruth Archer with news that she has inherited a fortune from a foreign prince, and all I need is her banking details to put her in the money. I’ll sell her a Space Laser while I’m at it. #TheArchers

Have the script writers forgotten that Brad is going to university, or are the story lines around him just too lazy to imagine that he has created another friendship group? #TheArchers

So now the secret clause in Peggy’s will can be revealed; the first descendent to be named after her will inherit the entire estate. To be looked after by the baby’s father (no female emancipation for our Peggy) until she is 21. #TheArchers

Finlay is a poor hard working crofter who has to supplement his meagre income by fighting fires in a manly manner. Also, he happens to have a couple of steak sitting in the fridge, just in case. Oh, and he thinks that Helen (checks notes) “is amazing”. Jackie Collins eat your heart out. #TheArchers

The torturous storyline that got us to this Blackpool-Highland-Ambridge mash-up was, well, torturous. But I am loving the conversations we are finally getting to hear! #TheArchers

Alice is calm and supportive without anyone asking her, in a meaningful manner, if she is “okay?” Jacob is kind and empathetic and truly himself, Justin and N’Tasha are allowed to have fun without endless criticism from others, and Pheeeeebs escapes her mother. Hurrah for Blackpool. #TheArchers

The script writers appear to have borrowed a storyline from a 1978 episode of “Terry and June”. Oh what larks, family misunderstandings and hilarious holiday mishaps. Hollow laugh. #TheArchers

I find the behaviour shifts that occur each week increasingly jarring. #TheArchers seems to put effort into long term storyline continuity, but has put character personality continuity into a big old bonfire. George and Pip are just the most recent in a long line of multiple personalities tryouts.

Is Esme’s need for casual labour the ENTIRE purpose of the ridiculous DeadMulligan storyline, so that George can find his path of redemption, and impress Esme so much that he eventually takes on the tenancy. Thus returning the Grundies to farming? #TheArchers

Any day now, David is going to be woken up by a knock on the door as Akram comes to collect the cake that Jill has made. He’s going to half remember a weird dream about someone called Esme, and a bread delivery in the church.
Then he’ll clear his head and go fetch the cake. Sorted. #TheArchers

What fresh hell is this? Esme Mulligan, fresh out of the BBC costume-drama 17thC accent cupboard is to be inflicted upon us more? Please god let Stella/Josh/Rex/Justin buy these recently-imagined hills with their stone/brick cottage and murderous milking parlour and make this be over. #TheArchers

“I want to tell you about my dad. He didn’t exist until three weeks ago, and then he was made up just to create an emotional picture of a hard-working farmer. Though we don’t know why that was needed, because #TheArchers has been going for about 75 years“.

There is a mass delusion in the village of Ambridge this week.
No one has ever heard or, or met Esme until now. Despite the fact that she allegedly grew up there.
And not one person in Ambridge has said…..
“that’s really weird…. It’s as though she didn’t exist until two weeks ago”

Are our scriptwriters secret Great Expectations fans? Pip falling head over heels for Estella. But shall it be Esme or Stella that breaks her heart? Or (in a devious #TheArchers out-wickeds Miss Havisham plot twist), both of them?

Esme and Pip grew up on neighbouring farms, but appear to have never met. Pip is maintaining a fairly neutral accent with shades of public school, while Esme sounds like she has floated out of a BBC costume drama about 17th century smugglers, set on Dartmoor. #TheArchers

A B&W cow on a particular corner is going to belong not to “some other farmer”, but to the farmer whose field is RIGHT NEXT TO that corner. And Pip would know. As would Joy. Unless said cow literally fell out of the back of a lorry. #TheArchers
