Paging LGBTQ+ #TheArchers listeners. Have you ever been to a gay wedding with one in a suit and the other a dress, featuring an opening dance with a lift? Or is the team being bizarrely heteronormative about this?

Tweeting mainly as @dumteedum.bsky.social and about #TheArchers
Finding the Alan/Anna money /eulogy storyline so ridiculous that I can’t tweet politely as @dumteedum.bsky.social #TheArchers
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
Do shut up, Ruth. Not listening to Anna, not helping. @dumteedum.bsky.social #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
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!
George being magnanimous to Josh for letting the cows escape is setting my teeth on edge #TheArchers
Struggling with why Akram is (a) working in the dairy, and (b) being such an idiot as to rearrange Susan's pots. #TheArchers
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?
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
Am I the only one dreading George getting a homemade prison tattoo of “Amber”, maybe with a heart? #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
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
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
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...
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.
That’s right Emma, find someone else to blame for how George ended up inside. #TheArchers
I’m confused: why does Alice call Lillian, who she works with every day, Auntie Lillian, but Pat is just Pat? #TheArchers
Is it wrong to have sudden respect for George for recognising that Eddy is a stupid old fool? #TheArchers
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
