Tim Stimpson

The Archers

Apparently when people went to the “Access All Area” event which was part of the recent Birmingham Weekender Festival, Stimpson was one of the people at the Archers Q&A session, with a producer and two of the actors.

I do hope this doesn’t mean he will be coming back from EastEnders; he was responsible for Flood Week, the first rape scene, the jury-room rubbish, and no doubt other things which I have expunged from my memory as not much cop. He might be ok as a television scriptwriter, but for radio he is too visual a thinker, to my mind.

They obviously didn’t want him around on EE once they’d got shot of the dire SO’C.

Yes, but who’d invite him to come back? Poor judgement, I feel, if they did.

I’ve just had a scan of his twitter feed:

and while he’s happy to talk about TA he hasn’t mentioned writing for it since the start of this year.

I notice that he is happy to describe himself as “Deputy Chair of the Writers’ Guild” in his blurb about himself, even though he put up a tweet reading

Just finished my term as @TheWritersGuild Deputy Chair. So proud of what we’ve achieved over the last 3 years. I shall miss it! #wggbagm

and is therefore no longer holding that position.
