RT Review by David Crawford
Christmas may see a tractor parade in Ambridge but the main drama is at
New Year. Brad detonates a bomb under the Grundys when he struggles to contain his feelings. WerCOre promised shocking truths, violence and rCLHurricane GeorgerCY causing devastation.
That storyline is set to run for months, and who knew in 1951 that this
is how the rCLeveryday story of country folkrCY would mark its 75th anniversary? The New YearrCOs Day edition is followed by The Archers:
Truth and Lies (a drama starring Claire Skinner) and an Archers Podcast special.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The review is given with the details of the New Years Day programme. In addition, the spoiler mentioned above is preceded by:
The Archers was launched nationally on January 1, 1951, after a number
of trial episodes were broadcast in the Midlands the previous year, so
2026 marks the 75th anniversary of the rural drama.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It sounds to me as if they are making another attempt to Shock Ambridge
To The Core.
A 'Shock Ambridge To The Core' Encore?
