5 out of 5 stars THE ARCHERS   July 26, 2010
Woodman (GB)
What you would expect loads of back ground info - great for any new fan to catch up on the history.


5 out of 5 stars Archers fan   July 23, 2009
VALERIE Turpin
Although second hand this item looks brand new. It arrived very quickly so would recommend this seller.

The book helps fill in the background of a lot things still mentioned in the current radio programme which I love. I intend to get the other two which brings the story up to 2000.



4 out of 5 stars A potted history of life in Ambridge (1987-2000)   February 29, 2008
JFD
As an occasional listener to the answers (if I'm in the car I hear it) I have caught bits and pieces over the years and built up enough of an understanding of the series and its characters that when I saw this book in the offload section of W H Smith I bought it to fill in some of my missing background. Immediately helpful was the family tree at the start of the book and this explained the relationship between the various characters. Joanna Toye (one of the writers for the radio series) has done a good job with the narrative, abridging it smartly such that the thirteen plus years are covered swiftly and concisely but without rushing the reader through the story. I found myself drawn into the lives and loves of Ambridge and was surprised at how many episodes I remembered from the radio (and over how long a period of time). I would describe this book as of great value to the occasional listener and no doubt of interest to the Archers fan, though presumably they've heard it all before!


5 out of 5 stars Great for new Archers fans!   December 20, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This was an excellent introduction to the family history of The Archers as I have only been listening 'full-time' for a couple years. I will be buying the next two to really get up to date as it has already enhanced my enjoyment of listening to current broadcasts as I now have the background story to relate it to. In addition this is a wonderful piece of storytelling in its own right - Miriam reads it beautifully and allows the listener into the characters and their world.


5 out of 5 stars Great book for late comers into the Archers seen   November 15, 2001
Andrew Hodgson (andrew@hodgsons.clara.co.uk) (Bromyard, Herefordshire UK)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is great for people like me who only came into the Archers seen in the last five years. It describes in great detail the events leading up to Phil marrying Grace, and her death, and even more interestingly, Phil and Jill's courtship and marrage. I think this book is essencial for people who want to know what happened before they cam onto the Archers seen, as when references are made to the past in the soap you know what they are on about!
