  • Love it! And political is great!

    Reviewers claiming that you don’t know your audience are completely wrong and behind the times. I applaud The Archers for bringing forth current issues and developments in society in an easily digestible manner especially to those who will do anything to avoid such issues and taking responsibility in the direction global society and the earth are going. Please keep going with this wholesome show which brings pleasure to under 35-year-olds like myself on the opposite side of the Atlantic ocean. L... more

  • My forever fabourite

    I’ve been hooked on this drama ever since I heard it for the first time 5 years ago. Unfortunately, it’s unavailable in Russia without VPN on, which is a shame. I’m sure Russian people would be interested not only in following reverting storylines of Ambridge dwellers but also in learning a lot about day-to-day life of common British. Anyway, thank you for your great job. Cheers from Russia.
