  #TheArchers @thearchers@a.gup.pe From The Telegraph in 2016: The editor of The Archers has disclosed he has set in motion a ‘titanic struggle’ between two of its most popular characters ahead of his departure later this month. Fans of the famously sedate soap opera are still be reeling from the sensational plot that led to Helen Archer stabbing her abusive partner in their kitchen. But that hasn’t stopped Sean O’Connor putting in train a new battle, this time involving Brian and...

  ★★☆☆☆ — "More Chai Than Chi" Bert Horrobin's Tai Chi with Chai Tea arrives as perhaps the least likely wellness publication since Keith Richards' Guide to Clean Living. Bert, Ambridge's answer to a man who has spent decades treating his body as a compost heap, invites us to join him in the ancient art of Tai Chi — pausing every third page, one suspects, to light a cigarette off the previous one. The photographs are ambitious, if occasionally alarming;...

  So, who was worst in #TheArchers this week? The focus this week was the continued fracturing of the Aldridge family; Adam/Kate/Debbie vs Brian/Alice/Ruairi. Meanwhile the Scenes inside No. 6 The Green practically wrote the treatment for a spin off series, “Couching Cider Hidden Flagon.” Bert’s chai tea and vaping Gooarva were great comic relief from Brian's ever-deepening villainy. Then we have Natasha Leather Trousers, Tom and his jumper and last, but not least David (yawn) and Ruth’...

  Seeking an explanation for Brian’s continuing WCOW wins, I decided to consult his astrological chart. For those born on November 20th the astrology analysis predicts that underneath that quiet exterior can be a hot-headed (Adam take note!) and impulsive individual (caravans). You tend to take pleasure in living a comfortable life (Malt Whisky and fine wine). It also affords you the option to be of help to others (lucky George!). There is one setback to this, and that is you tend to be clingy (p...

  To-Fu Fighter 2026 Comedy / Martial Arts ★★★☆☆ Ambridge's most unlikely warrior arrives on the big screen as Bert Horobin is coaxed into his very first Armchair Tai Chi class. The Tai Chi sequences are a slow-motion symphony of arthritic grace, filmed with the reverence usually reserved for Kurosawa battle scenes, and the instructor's soothing cry of "and… breathe…" serves as the film's unlikely emotional heartbeat. The dramatic climax arrives when Tracy...

  Who was worst in #TheArchers this week? The most distressing event for me this week was the escape of Fletch – now rumoured to have been breakfast for a sparrowhawk. I think Azra is culpable here but Brian – I believe your aggressive behaviour this week will win once more. Ruairi you told Adam! You numpty. Carol obviously batty, Tom – oh purleeeese. Bert the curmudgeonly git shows his softer side and provides much needed comic relief, because bottlegate really ain’t over - the generously prop...

  Who was worst in #TheArchers this week? Well very few nominations this week - not much happening in Ambridge obviously. Making my list Justin, Brian, David, Helen and Tony. @thearchers

  Who was worst in #TheArchers this week? Peace, Camaraderie and Love for all in the village of Ambridge this Easter Week. Well, except for Brian and Lynda who are the main contenders and will no doubt battle it out for WCOW this week. Carol and Tony and Oliver are worthy of a few votes. @thearchers
