I Am A Swede

I can't believe it's 40 years ago I became a teenager.... 😲

Totally agree. Maybe Joshua Hoffman didn't want to return? 🤔

I'm finally back in Beckindale in 1980, and it feels like putting on a comfortable pair of slippers after a long walk. 🥰 With all the murder, mayhem, lies, scandals and psychopaths on current Emmerdale it's pure pleasure going back in time to when Beckindale was a sleepy little village, without a Dingle in sight. It's feel-good tv of the highest calibre. Amos is showing unexpected gardening skills on his new allotment, much to the surprise of Sam and Seth. As per usual with Amos he goes all in and Henry has to deal with the consequences. ☺️ At the Longthorn farm dad Clifford is faced with the fact that his son Andy doesn't want to take over the farm. He wants to go to university. His sister Carol on the other hand is keen to be a farmer, but Clifford feels it's not a woman's job. As you could expect though, Carol steps up during a crisis and successfully delivers a calf when Clifford slips and hurts his back. It's not always subtle writing.... 🤭 It feels so good to be back! 🥰

Happy 75th anniversary to The Archers! 🎉 The first episode aired on 1 January 1951! And some of the current cast have re-enacted the very first scene of the show. The Archers cast recreate lost first episode

Finally!!

It simply wouldn't be New Year's Eve without it. 🥰

Let's hope that 2026 will bring only joy and happiness!

I hope this trend continues all the way to the midterms.

Sheila vs Stephanie, B&B Brooke vs Stephanie is of course B&B's big rivalry, but it was all too often a little lopsided, since Brooke deep down wanted Stephanie's approval. Sheila on the other hand was an adversary that could seriously rattle even Stephanie. Of course this was before Sheila was watered down like she is now. At her peak she was an outstanding villainess. I don't think anyone can play menacing as good as Kimberlin Brown.
