Yes, I much prefer to listen to the omnibus edition, I'm unable to tune in on most weekdays but getting the whole week's worth in one go on a Sunday is great.I enjoyed the omnibus earlier and for the amusing comments already mentioned above.
I love fiction novels as I can picture how I think a character looks in my minds eye, the same with radio plays, especially The Archers. Looking at the website, I was surprised how different the actors look to what I imagined:
The two who immediately came to my notice were Alan Franks - the actor looks too young and hip to play such a boring character. And, Susan Carter - this actor looks far more fun than than her actual gossipy character.
The Beeb used to have a "flip" option almost like an advent calendar to reveal the photos of the actors if you wanted to see, I don't want to see.I hate when I accidentally see a photo of one of the actors online! They don’t exist outside of my imagination as far as I’m concerned
I don't know her voice has irritated me for many years so I can't put it down to frailtyIsn't Jill sounding frail now. I know the actress is 91 and doing amazingly well - but she sounds so old compared to Leonard.
I know. All centred around Ambridge's dullest smuggest family.Well that was a pretty dull Sunday omnibus edition, a cow with displaced hips being the highlight.
I wonder if Helen will huff now Ian has a new bestie. Especially as Susan is an employeeAre the storylines just completely off? Random.
The Bull puts on dragons' den style competition.
Chris gets shingles to test the strength of Alice's vodka
Ian and Susan are bff.
Yes entirely back to normal. Though I do think less people appear regularly - possibly still covid restrictions/shielding. But it isn't that noticeable tbh.I used to love The Archers, but I had to switch off when those terrible monologue episodes started during lockdown and then I never got back into it because I got out of the habit of listening.
Is it fully back to normal these days? I've missed well over a year apart from when I've listened to the odd episode (e.g. I know Alice went off to rehab for her alcoholism). I think it'd be fairly easy to get back into though!
Thanks for the summary! I'm surprised Natasha stayed, when they first brought her in she seemed like she was going to be a flash in the pan and unsuited to Tom.Yes entirely back to normal. Though I do think less people appear regularly - possibly still covid restrictions/shielding. But it isn't that noticeable tbh.
Alice's alcoholism, marriage break up and fall out with Ruari are big stories you may have missed. Also Jazzer is now with Tracey Horrobin! Tom and Natasha are expecting twins, and Burt died.
