The Archive Hour - The Archers

Simon Hoggart revisits the Ambridge of the fifties to find out how this portrait of country life has moved with the times. Using contemporary news reports and music, he revisits old episodes and talks to series editors - past and present - to show how one of Radio 4's favourite programmes has always been very much more than just an everyday tale of country folk.
Broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday 30 December 2000.
