Adam and Joe on The Archers

[@paloriggs]

saturday mornings will never be as brilliant as they were when these two were on the radio

[@Alex-xh7sg]

Really ???

[@DeclanZapala]

They were golden days for sure...

[@Ming64]

Haha brilliant. I couldn't stop laughing at the 'ennui tea-drinking sigh'. Well done for putting together the bit at the end.

[@NxDoyle]

I totally understand the impulse when it's a purely audial medium. If it's outside there's ambient noise, but interior scenes are either bedded or there are sfx like kettles and clocks. Other than that a radio play runs the same risk as every other program on radio, the dreaded dead air. I once worked for a station that stopped local broadcasting at 11pm and flipped to the BBC World Service till 6am. One night I was in late doing production and, for a laugh, I sat waiting for the hourly playing of Lilliburlero and the pips (five short dots followed by a long dash) leading into a newscast. I let the five pips go and on the long beep, I flicked a mic on and said, "Pooooo!" I half expected some repercussion, but nobody was listening.

It certainly does sound like a 'dirty evening'

[@phillipbailey70]

Thanks - I've got the podcast with the abridgement, but I'd never heard the follow up 'ruftiness' - excellent thanks again. I'll be off, good with you!

[@ursie1986]

I'LL BE OFF, GOOD WITH YOU!

[@milky2sugars]

Brilliant

[@eustacequinlank7418]

I knew two people whos first job coming straight out of Cambridge was writing for The Archers... they were both dullards.

[@danielsmith4218]

[@blokey8]

[@wmckin11]

Who's been on my field?!

[@blargalar]

JUST COMING!

[@ForestKicks]

Just keep pressing 8!

[@nickthelick]

Freddie being arrested for selling E's - Possibly THE MOST UNREALISTIC STORYLINE EVER! XOD Painful to listen to simply because the way it's playing out is just so unrealistic!

[@bertrach]

Why was Cornballs listening to The Archers?

[@revjimbob]

Ah! Those halcyon days of yore.

[@alihart]

I hated yore

[@melmagicspell4033]

Subtitles rock. Put on the subs!!!!!!!

a horse doing a poo

[@ForestKicks]

Spam 8 FTW

[@PY11235]

dirty evening in ambridge. LOL

[@jacksainthill8974]

Adam and Joe. I thought it would be Messrs. Aldridge and Grundy. (Aaw, naaw, Deevid!)

[@simonhodgetts6530]

They forgot the BBC drama pretending to take a gulp of wine / mouthful of food while talking sound effect. The horse doing a poo example was good, but maybe a bit hammy.........

[@mrjoeington]

so obviously fake

[@unlokia]

The archers is AWFUL.

[@stephenjarrett6696]

the archers in NOT awful

[@unlokia]

Stephen Jarrett You have poor taste then,

[@jungulator]

The Archers used to be good, but at the moment it's awful.

[@lucyhurst2534]

I don't listen to it but I recently read a letter in viz which suggests that "stick it up your fucking arse" fits pretty well into the theme tune.

[@nickthelick]

It is indeed crap... Compelling crap though for some weird reason. (I have to listen to talking on the radio because music on there is so shit these days)

[@amyclarke41]

less these days 😀
