any archers fans, anyone listen to this rural radio soap, its popular considering 5 million tune in to listen to its 7pm, 15 minute episodeeverynigh and its repated 1pm the next day. plus in its peak 20 million used to tune in.

thats 5 million who are not watching emerdale

wow, its still on?
I can remember as a child my mum listening to it, and that meant it was nearly bedtime.

I listen to the omnibus every Sunday morning 10:00-11:15

The Archers, having started in 1951, is the second longest soap opera in the enitre world! (first being the USA's Guiding Light which began on Radio in 1937 and transferred to TV in 1952)

I think each episode is also available on the BBC website.

I love The Archers - I listened to it ever since it started (I was born the same year!!).

Not sure about the Helen storyline at the moment though.
