The Archers
October 15th, 2007 by Russell DaviesI’m sure that many of our readers turn to speechification in order to get away from The Archers. But it would be remiss of us not to note that yesterday Radio 4 turned on The Archers podcast. You could make a very good case for The Archers being the most successful programme in speech radio’s history, even if it is often completely baffling and annoying. I suspect those of us who grew up in Radio 4 households will always have a strange relationship with it, unable quite to like it but still feeling like Shula and Nigel and the Grundy’s are our own neighbours. And always hoping that one day, somehow, Nelson Gabriel will turn up again.
