The Archers is a BBC radio drama on BBC Radio 4, their master spoken-discussion channel. Broadcast since 1951, it was initially billed as "an everyday story of country folk" and is now promoted as "a contemporary drama in a rural setting".[three] [iv] Having aired over xix,500 episodes,[2] it is the world's longest-running drama by number of episodes, and volition become so past elapsing in 2023.[5] [six]

Five airplane pilot episodes were aired in 1950 and the first episode was broadcast nationally on New year'southward Twenty-four hour period, 1951. A significant show in British popular culture, and with over five meg listeners, it is Radio four'due south most listened-to non-news plan,[7] [8] [9] and with over one one thousand thousand listeners via the internet, the programme holds the record for BBC Radio online listening figures.[ten] In February 2019, a panel of 46 broadcasting industry experts, of which 42 had a professional connection to the BBC, listed The Archers as the second-greatest radio program of all time.[11] Partly established with the aim towards educating farmers following World War II, The Archers soon became a popular source of entertainment for the population at big, attracting nine million listeners by 1953.

Synopsis [edit]

The Archers is set in the fictional village of Ambridge in the fictional county of Borsetshire, in England. Borsetshire is situated between what are, in reality, the contiguous counties of Worcestershire and Warwickshire, southward of Birmingham in The Midlands of England. Ambridge is possibly based on the village of Cutnall Dark-green,[12] though various other villages claim to be the inspiration for Ambridge; The Bull, Ambridge's pub, is modelled on The Sometime Balderdash in Inkberrow,[thirteen] whereas Hanbury's St Mary the Virgin is often used every bit a stand-in for Ambridge's parish church, St Stephen's.[14] [15]

Other fictional villages include Penny Hassett, Loxley Barrett,[sixteen] Darrington, Hollerton, Edgeley, Waterley Cantankerous and Lakey Green. The county town of Borsetshire is Borchester, and the nearest big city is the cathedral city of Felpersham. Felpersham also has a university. Anywhere further from Ambridge may be referred to humorously with comments such every bit "that'southward on the other side of Felpersham!", simply characters practice occasionally venture further: several attended the Countryside Alliance march in London,[17] in that location take been references to the gay scene in Manchester'southward Canal Street. There accept been scenes ready in other places in the Uk and abroad, with some characters residing overseas such as in South Africa and Republic of hungary.

Since Easter Sunday 1998, there have been six episodes a week, from Lord's day to Friday, circulate at effectually nineteen:03 following the news summary. All except the Friday evening episode are repeated the following day at fourteen:02. The half-dozen episodes are re-run entire in the Sunday morning omnibus at ten:00. On Remembrance Lord's day, the omnibus edition begins at the earlier time of 09:15.[18]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, weekly programming reduced to 4 episodes, omitting episodes on Sunday and Fri. The Sunday omnibus was correspondingly reduced in length. After standing with pre-recorded episodes and repeating some classic episodes, new episodes started that had been recorded remotely, to a mixed reception.[xix] On 15 Baronial 2021, the Sunday evening episode resumed regular broadcast.[20]

Topicality [edit]

Unlike some soap operas, episodes of The Archers portray events taking place on the date of broadcast, allowing many topical subjects to be included. Real-life events which tin can be readily predicted are often written into the script, such as the almanac Oxford Farming Briefing[22] and the FIFA World Cup.[23] On some occasions, scenes recorded at these events are planned and edited into episodes shortly before transmission.

More challengingly for the production team, some meaning but unforeseen events require scenes to exist rewritten and rerecorded at short notice, such as the death of Princess Margaret (especially poignant because she had appeared as herself on the plan),[24] [25] the World Trade Center attacks,[26] and the seven July 2005 London bombings.[27] The events and implications of the 2001 foot-and-mouth crisis required many "topical inserts"[28] [29] [30] [31] and the rewriting of several storylines.[32]

In January 2012, Oliver Sterling, owner of Grange Farm, together with his tenant, Ed Grundy, elected to vaccinate the badgers on their subcontract in an attempt to preclude the spread of bovine tuberculosis. The plotline came within weeks of the government confirming a badger cull trial.[33]

Information technology was appear on 29 March 2022 that the programme would include reference to the COVID-19 pandemic from 4 May onwards.[34]

Actors [edit]

Dissimilar television soaps, The Archers actors are not held on retainers and work on the series commonly for a few days a month. By the nature of the storylines concentrating on particular groups of characters, in whatever one week out of a bandage of virtually lx, the episodes include approximately 20–30 speaking-characters. About of the cast do acting work on other projects and can disappear for long periods if they are working on commitments such as films or television series. Tamsin Greig plays Debbie Aldridge and has appeared on many tv series such as Green Fly, Dear Soup, Blackness Books and Episodes, so Debbie manages a farm in Hungary and her visits to Ambridge are exceptional. Felicity Jones played Emma Carter from the age of fifteen only after a period of studying at Wadham College, Oxford, she gave up the role to motility into television and movie theater.[35]

Some of the actors, when non playing their characters, earn their money through different jobs altogether: Charlotte Connor, when not playing Susan Carter (credited as Charlotte Martin), works full-fourth dimension as a senior research psychologist at the Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation; her office is a brusque walk from BBC Birmingham, and thus she is able to fit her work effectually recordings.[36] Meanwhile, Graham Blockey, who plays Robert Snell, worked until 2022 as a full-fourth dimension general practitioner in Surrey, commuting to and from BBC Birmingham at weekends and on his days off. He kept his role secret from his patients, for fear of losing their respect, until his retirement from medicine in March 2017.[37] Other examples include Felicity Finch (Ruth Archer), who also works as a BBC journalist having travelled on a number of occasions to Afghanistan; and Ian Pepperell (Roy Tucker), who manages a pub in the New Forest.[38]

History [edit]

A five-episode pilot serial started on Whit Mon, 29 May 1950, and continued throughout that week.[39] It was created by Godfrey Baseley and was broadcast to the English language Midlands in the Regional Habitation Service, as 'a farming Dick Barton'. Recordings were sent to London, and the BBC decided to commission the series for a longer national run. In the five pilots the Archers owned Wimberton Farm, rather than Brookfield. Baseley subsequently edited The Archers for 22 years.

Since i January 1951, five 15-minute episodes (since 1998, six 12½-infinitesimal episodes) accept been transmitted each week, at beginning on the BBC Calorie-free Program[40] and subsequently on the BBC Dwelling house Service (and Radio four from Sunday, 1st October 1967).[41] Early afternoon repeats of the previous evening's episode began on xiv December 1964. The original scriptwriters were Geoffrey Webb and Edward J. Bricklayer, who were also working on the nightly thriller series about the special agent Dick Barton. The popularity of his adventures partly inspired The Archers, which eventually took over Barton's evening slot. At showtime, still, the national launch placed the serial at the 'terrible'[42] time of eleven.45 am, but it moved to Dick Barton'south former slot of 6.45 pm from Mon, 2 Apr 1951. An omnibus edition of the week's episodes began on Saturday, 5 Jan 1952.

Originally produced with collaborative input from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, The Archers was conceived every bit a means of disseminating information to farmers and smallholders to assist increase productivity in the Postwar era of rationing and food shortages.[40]

The Archers originally centred on the lives of three farmers; Dan Archer, farming efficiently with lilliputian cash, Walter Gabriel, farming inefficiently with little greenbacks, and George Fairbrother, a wealthy businessman farming at a loss for tax purposes (which one could do in those days).[43] The programme was hugely successful, winning the National Radio Awards' 'Nigh entertaining programme of the Year' award jointly with Accept Information technology from Here in 1954, and winning the honour outright in 1955, in which yr the audience was reported to have peaked at 20 one thousand thousand.[44]

In the belatedly 1950s, despite the growth of television and radio'due south consequent turn down, the programme was still challenge xi million listeners and was also being transmitted in Canada, Commonwealth of australia, and New Zealand.[45] Past the mid-1970s, even so, the audition for the two daily broadcasts and the weekend omnibus combined was less than three million[46] and in 1976 the BBC Radio Iv Review Board twice considered whether or not the plan should exist axed.[47] The serial'southward woes at this fourth dimension were seen to mirror the poor standing of radio drama in general, described as "a failure to fully milk shake off the conventions of non-realism which had prevailed in the 1940s and 1950s."[48]

Programme master Jock Gallagher, responsible for The Archers, described these every bit the serial's "canis familiaris days".[49] Sweeping editorial reforms followed, included the introduction of women writers (there had been none earlier 1975), two of whom, Helen Leadbeater and Margaret Phelan, were credited with giving the programme a new definitive style of writing and content, although some listeners complained nigh their radical feminism.[l]

In 1980 Julie Burchill commented that the women of Ambridge were no longer stuck with "the gallons of greengage jam old-guard male scriptwriters kept them occupied with for over twenty years"; just were 'into mail service-natal depression and alcoholism on the mode to self-discovery'.[51] By the mid-1980s the Radio Four Review Board noted that scripts, directing and acting was "very expert" and sometimes "better than e'er".[52] In Baronial 1985 The Listener said that the programme'south revival was "sustained by some of the best interim, direction and writing on radio."[44]

Tony Shryane MBE was the programme's producer from 1 Jan 1951 to nineteen Jan 1979. Vanessa Whitburn was the plan'due south editor from 1992 till 2013. Whitburn took service leave from March to July 2012, when John Yorke, a sometime executive producer of EastEnders, was the acting editor.[53] Yorke's arrival prompted charges that the programme was importing the values of EastEnders to Borsetshire, with fans and commentators lament that characters were behaving unrealistically simply to generate disharmonize.[54] This was denied by Yorke, who wrote that he agreed to accept over "on one condition – that it stayed exactly equally it was and that I didn't accept to alter anything."[55]

Whitburn was succeeded every bit editor by Sean O'Connor in September 2013.[56] In September 2016, Huw Kennair-Jones took over equally editor though O'Connor continued to oversee the Helen and Rob storyline until its conclusion.[57] Kennair-Jones appear in October 2022 that he was to exit the BBC to work every bit commissioning editor for ITV.[58] The curt presence of two successive Archers editors in the job led to concerns that there might be a tendency of radio drama editing being seen as "preparation ground" for college-paid positions in TV.[59] Alison Hindell, the BBC's caput of Sound Drama until October 2018, took over as interim editor before[lx] and later[61] Kennair-Jones's time in charge. She finer swapped roles with Jeremy Howe when she succeeded him as the BBC'south commissioning editor for drama and fiction[61] and he started as editor of the Archers in late August 2018.[1] [62]

Since 2007, The Archers has been available every bit a podcast.[63]

Death of Grace Archer [edit]

One of the most controversial Archers episodes was broadcast on 22 September 1955, which coincided with the launch of the UK's first commercial tv set station. Phil and Grace Archer had been married just a few months before, and their blossoming relationship was the talk of the nation. Still, searching for a story which would demonstrate some real tragedy amid the increasingly unconvincing episode cliff-hangers, Godfrey Baseley had decided that Grace would have to die. The scripts for the week commencing nineteen September 1955 were written, recorded, and circulate on each day, with an "exercise in topicality" given as the explanation to the cast. On Thursday, listeners heard the audio furnishings of Grace trying to rescue Midnight, her horse, from a fire in the stable at Brookfield and the crash of a falling timber beam.[64]

Whether the timing of the episode was a deliberate attempt to overshadow the opening night of the BBC's first commercial rival has been debated always since. Information technology was certainly planned some months in advance, simply it may well exist that the bodily date of the expiry was changed during the scriptwriting stage to coincide with the launch of Associated-Rediffusion.[65] Deliberate or not, the episode attracted widespread media attention, being reported by newspapers around the globe.

This controversy has been parodied twice: in "The Bowmans", an episode of the television comedy programme Hancock, and in the play The Killing of Sister George and its 1968 moving picture accommodation. On the 50th anniversary of ITV'southward launch, Ysanne Churchman, who played Grace, sent them a congratulatory card signed "Grace Archer".

In 1996, William Smethurst recounted a chat with Baseley in which he reveals his real motivation for killing off Grace Archer: Churchman was encouraging the other actors to join a trade union.[66]

Longevity [edit]

The histrion Norman Painting played Phil Archer continuously from the first trial series in 1950 until his death on 29 Oct 2009. His last Archers performance was recorded just 2 days before his death, and was broadcast on 22 November.[67] He is cited in Guinness World Records equally the longest-serving player in a unmarried soap opera.[67] Nether the pseudonym "Bruno Milna", Painting also wrote around 1,200 complete episodes, which culminated in the x,000th episode.

June Spencer CBE has played Peggy Woolley from the pilot episode and celebrated her 100th birthday in 2019. She is nevertheless in her office and is one of the oldest working actors.[68]

According to Who'south Who in The Archers 2008,[69] episode fifteen,360 was broadcast on 1 January 2008.[lxx] Episode 15,000 was broadcast on 7 November 2006.[71]

Sixtieth anniversary [edit]

The Archers reached its 60th anniversary on 1 Jan 2011 and to mark this achievement, a special half-hr episode was broadcast on Sunday, 2 January, on BBC Radio 4 from 7pm. The episode had been advertised as containing events that would "shake Ambridge to the core".[72] This phrase even gave rising to the initialism #SATTC trending on the website Twitter during that weekend as listeners speculated most what might happen, and so reported their views equally the story unfolded.

The main events in the episode were Helen Archer giving birth to her son Henry and Nigel Pargetter falling to his death from the roof of Lower Loxley Hall. This unlikely event provoked interest in the frequency and causes of death in the serial. In fact, although the incidence of accidental death and suicide is seven times the national average, the overall mortality rate in Ambridge is well-nigh exactly what would exist expected.[73]

The demise of Nigel caused controversy amidst some listeners,[74] [75] with a number of complaints variously expressing dismay at the death of a popular character, concerns over the manner of the dismissal of the histrion, belief that the promise to "milk shake Ambridge to the cadre" had been over-hyped, criticism of the brownie of the script (for example, the elapsing of his plummeting cry caused adding of the building's tiptop at considerably more than than had been imagined); also a perceived unwillingness of the editorial team to engage with these listener complaints.[ citation needed ]

COVID-nineteen pandemic [edit]

Topical subjects have been added to the script, but this was not possible during the COVID-xix pandemic. Actors were initially recorded in their homes and included references to the pandemic from some of the characters sharing their private thoughts with the listener.[34] [76] From 4 May 2022 to 14 August 2021, the broadcast was reduced to four episodes (Mon - Thursday). Dominicus episodes resumed on 15 Baronial 2021.

Themes [edit]

The program has tackled many serious, gimmicky social issues: rural drug habit; rape, including rape in wedlock; inter-racial relationships; directly action against genetically modified crops and badger culling; family unit interruption-ups; and civil partnerships, and a family being threatened by a gang of farm thieves. At that place has been criticism from conservative commentators, such as Peter Hitchens in 1999[77] that the series has become a vehicle for liberal and left-wing values and agendas, with characters behaving out of character to accomplish those goals. However, one of the show's charms is to make much out of everyday, modest concerns, such as the possible closure of the village store, the loss and rediscovery of a pair of spectacles,[78] competitive marmalade-making, or nonsense such equally a 'spile troshing' competition,[79] rather than the large-scale and improbable events that form the plots of many soap operas.[80] [81] Godfrey Baseley was quoted in The Independent as objecting to the homosexuality in the programme, proverb "Information technology is disgusting ... It is distasteful because being gay is such a minority interest. Country folk don't do that kind of thing. They have sex activity the proper fashion."[82]

Co-ordinate to some of the actors, and confirmed in the writings of Godfrey Baseley, in its early days the prove was used as a conduit for educational announcements from the Ministry of Agronomics, 1 histrion reading an annunciation nearly verbatim to another. Directly interest of the regime ended in 1972.[83] The bear witness has reacted within a day to agricultural emergencies such as outbreaks of foot and mouth affliction which bear on farmers nationwide when livestock movements are restricted.

Theme tune [edit]

The theme tune of The Archers is chosen "Barwick Green" and is a maypole dance from the suite My Native Heath, written in 1924 by the Yorkshire composer Arthur Forest. The Sunday bus broadcast of The Archers starts with a more rustic, accordion-bundled rendition by The Yetties.[97] [98] The theme for BBC Radio 4 Extra'due south The Archers spinoff, Ambridge Extra, is a version arranged by Bellowhead.[99]

A library music recording of Barwick Green was used for the pilot and during the early years of the national version, because a bid by Godfrey Baseley to have a special theme composed had been turned down on the grounds of cost, put at £250-£300.[100] However, in one case the serial had become undeniably established, a new recording of Barwick Green was authorised and performed by the BBC Midland Lite Orchestra on 24 March 1954.[101] This mono recording was as well accompanied by 4 movements entitled "A Village Suite", composed past Kenneth Pakeman to complement Barwick Green. Excerpts from these movements were then used for a time as bridging music between scenes. The 1954 recordings were never made bachelor to the public and their employ was restricted fifty-fifty inside the BBC, partly because of an understanding with the Musicians' Union.

In 1992, the theme was re-recorded in stereo, retaining the previous arrangements. The venue was Symphony Hall in Birmingham, the conductor Ron Goodwin, producer David Welsby and the audio mixer Norman McLeod. The slightly different sound mixing and more leisurely tempo reportedly led some listeners to consider the new version inferior, specifically that it lacked "panache", although the BBC publicised the fact that the orchestra contained some of the musicians who had played in the previous recording, including Harold Rich (piano) and Norman Parker (percussion).[ commendation needed ]

Robert Robinson once compared the tune to "the genteel abandon of a lifelong teetotaller who has suddenly taken to potable".[ citation needed ] On April Fool'due south Twenty-four hours 2004 both The Independent and The Today Programme claimed that BBC executives had commissioned composer Brian Eno to record an electronic version of "Barwick Green" every bit a replacement for the current theme,[102] [103] while comedian Billy Connolly included in his act the joke that the theme was and then typically British that it should be the national anthem of the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland.[104]

In 2009, comedian Rainer Hersch conducted the Philharmonia Orchestra in a functioning of the theme, live from the Regal Festival Hall to a listening BBC Radio three audience in an attempt to confuse them. He so went on to show how similar it is to "Montagues and Capulets" – "Dance of the Knights" – from Romeo and Juliet past Sergei Prokofiev, claiming that this was a result of Russian spies going through the BBC's rubbish bins looking for the scripts.[105]

Serious events [edit]

At times, a cliffhanger involving the death of a major character or a disaster was marked by the traditional closing theme beingness replaced past the concluding dramatic section of Barwick Dark-green involving trombones, cymbals and the closing confined of the signature tune – known as the "doom music" to some fan groups.[106] This tradition has been dropped more recently, with events such as the decease of Nigel Pargetter being followed by the normal closing music despite the gravity of the incident. This has irritated some followers, who consider the jollity of the normal segment inappropriate in such circumstances.[107]

A brief extract from The Dream of Gerontius was played following the death of Phil Archer. When John Archer died no music was played.

There was a nod to The Archers in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in London on 27 July 2012, where the theme tune was played at the beginning of a segment jubilant British civilisation: the audio of a radio could be heard being tuned in as Barwick Green was played.[108]

Casting [edit]

[edit]

BBC Radio iv Extra ran an occasional short supplement, Ambridge Extra, between 2011 and 2013, featuring characters away from the Ambridge environs. Series 1 and 2 had 26 episodes and serial 3, 4 and five had 20. The reason offered for non-renewal was limited resources.[109]

Fan clubs [edit]

Ii organisations dedicated to the plan were established in the 1990s. Archers Addicts was the official body, run by members of the cast. The lodge had 5 thousand members[110] and an online store where Archers memorabilia was sold under licence. It closed equally a order on 31 December 2013 just still has a Facebook page and Twitter feed. Archers Anarchists was formed erstwhile later,[ when? ] objecting to the "castist" assumptions propagated by the BBC, and claiming that the characters are real.

The usenet newsgroup uk.media.radio.archers[111] (referred to as UMRA by its users, who call themselves umrats) has been running since 1995. Its users include experts on subjects covered by the programme, such equally the many aspects of farming, the running of modest businesses, bong ringing; lengthy discussions ensue – likewise as calorie-free-hearted matters, and plot speculation. Various gatherings occur where umrats come together. The first was a series of about x annual barbecues.[112] The first was attended by Carole Boyd (Lynda Snell). They have included participants from Europe and the Americas. It has nicknames for many of the master Archers characters,[113] such as S'aint for Shula. (In that location are nicknames for most of the regular characters.) Due mayhap to it beingness initially more accessible in academia, the discussions can exist quite detailed, though UMRA considers itself to be a friendly and welcoming grouping, where in particular flamewars and the like are non welcome. Despite the general pass up of usenet[114] with the appearance of trendier media such equally Facebook and Twitter, UMRA remains a very active newsgroup compared to many. Its one-fourth dimension T-shirts[115] and mugs bore the legend (in yellow on "Barwick Green", of course) "An everyday story of internet folk."[116]

Parallels [edit]

In 1994, the BBC Globe Service began broadcasting in Afghanistan Naway Kor, Naway Jwand ("New Home, New Life") an everyday story of country folk incorporating pieces of useful data. Although the useful information was more than likely to concern unexploded country mines and opium addiction than the latest modern farming techniques, the inspiration and model of Naway Kor, Naway Jwand was The Archers, and the initial workshopping with Afghan writers included an Archers scriptwriter.[124] A 1997 report found that listeners to the soap opera were significantly less likely to be injured by a mine than non-listeners.[125]

In Rwanda, the BBC Earth Service'due south Rwanda-Rundi service has been broadcasting the Archers-inspired lather opera Urunana ("Mitt in Hand") since 1999.[126] [127]

The Archers was the model for the Russian radio lather opera Dom 7, Podyezd 4 ("House 7, Entrance four"),[128] on which the former Uk Prime number Minister, Tony Blair, once fabricated a cameo appearance.[129]

Parodies [edit]

Tony Hancock starred in the Galton and Simpson spoof "The Bowmans" in an episode of BBC Boob tube's Hancock's Half Hour.[130]

Ned Sherrin produced a short 1973 film called The Cobblers of Umbridge. The cast included Joan Sims, Lance Percival, Roy Kinnear, Derek Griffiths and John Fortune.[131]

John Finnemore'due south Souvenir Programme has parodied The Archers with its recurring "The Archers Accidentally" sketches;[132] the sketches claim to portray The Archers the way it sounds to people who but listen to the bear witness inadvertently.

The radio series of Dead Ringers has often parodied characters from The Archers, including a special edition.

The subtitle was parodied by Nib Tidy in his long-running cartoon of The Cloggies, "an Everyday Saga in the Life of Clog Dancing Folk", which ran in the satirical magazine Private Eye, and later in The Listener.
