BBC praised for hard work in making sure The Archers continues during COVID-19

The Ambridge Socialist has praised BBC production staff, actors and writers for hard work involved in making sure that the BBC’s updates from Ambridge still take place after existing recorded episodes run out at the end of April.

At the moment the Archers is airing four times a week rather than the usual five (plus a shorter Omnibus) and this will continue in May.

However there will fewer characters in each episode as contributions will be recorded from home studios. In addition COVID-19 will feature in episodes from 4th May

Ambridge Socialist Editor Keith Flett said, this will have been a lot of hard work. We look forward to hearing more detail about the class struggle in Borsetshire from the Grundys
