I’ve just started to watch; Buck Angel opening, which was never something I thought I’d see at Cambridge University - but this is how the de programming begins.

Maeve Halligan is am impressive young woman!

On the other hand I can see how 'little twerp' could be quite apt for that Sammy individual, sorry to say.

Listening to Webberly non stop lie, obfuscate and, infuriatingly, apologise for others 🙄was almost too much. Good to see there seemed to have been many audience members wanting to question her drivle though.

I've listened to the Archers since... gulp...1998 and do not recall a trans character.

yes to be clear, hearing the archers helped her see the light about her own transnesss!

Show quote history

AI doesn't think there has ever been a transgender character in the Archers which is ironic as the speaker who claimed this was arguing that the perception of trans & non-binary is that they are lying.

Bloody hell. A member of the audience is describing being transed by listening to an episode the archers when she was ten.

she’s now non binary

Help. I have listened to The Archers in and off for most of my life and I can't recall a trans story line. When/who was it?
(When Amber was first introduced and there was weirdness about her being different from at school I briefly wondered if we were going there but seemingly not.)

Never listened to it! In our household when the theme tune comes on the radio gets turned off

Maeve was amazing, just ON FIRE.

Oh, the 'non-binary' woman (yeah, I know) who suggested there was an assumption of some of the debaters that transpeople aren't real. She countered that belief by recounting having listened to The Archer's and how their transwoman storyline made her wish she could do that too, but the other way. She then goes on to say 'it's not because you've heard a label' that makes you decide you are trans. But but...that is exactly what she has just described happening to her, fcol. If she hadn't heard that concept being introduced on The Archer's when she was ten it's just possible she would have grown up lesbian, and fine with it.

I'm watching her now - what an extremely dangerous individual.

HoppityBun · 15/05/2026 07:52

oh. Just seen that Helen Webberley is at the end and I can’t face her at all

HoppityBun · 15/05/2026 07:50

Thanks for the link. I don’t think I’m strong enough to face this quite so early in the day.
