  • Lauren, you will be missed!

    Thanks to you all for working as hard as you do, to bring us this entertaining review of the Archers. Very sad to hear that Lauren is leaving - I love her observations, and she doesn’t try to be funny, which often makes her comments the most amusing!

  • Let Helen be!!

    I don't understand all the hatred of Helen...might it be, because she's a woman? Why not the annoying male characters. There are quite a few. Why don't you sit back and and reflect....my gosh, let Helen be.

The Archers Live at 75: Angela Barnes Answers Your Questions | Part 2
Q: Has spending so much time with the actors on this tour changed the way you view one or more of the characters when you listen to new episodes?
Barnes says meeting the actors has not changed her mental images of the characters because the performers' personalities are different from their roles.
The Archers Live at 75: Angela Barnes Answers Your Questions | Part 2

Dr Charlotte Martin Answers Your Questions — Susan's Radio Show, Bert's Secrets & Would She Be Friends with Susan?
Q: What have been the storylines you've most enjoyed playing as Susan?

Dr Charlotte Martin Answers Your Questions — Susan's Radio Show, Bert's Secrets & Would She Be Friends with Susan?
Q: In real life, could you actually be friends with Susan after playing her for many years?
Probably not exactly, as Susan has elements that aren't aligned with her, though the actor enjoys playing the role and appreciates the character's traits; friendship would be complex but possible in a hypothetical sense.
Dr Charlotte Martin Answers Your Questions — Susan's Radio Show, Bert's Secrets & Would She Be Friends with Susan?
Q: Why do you think so many Archers characters aged over 60 are still working, and could there ever be a whole episode about retired couples?
She suggests it's to keep workplace dynamics active and realistic, and while a full episode about retired couples might be less engaging, it could still be interesting with the right focus.
