I remember doing mum's ironing in the kitchen, carefully timed so that I could listen to the Archers on the radio. It was a great series in those days (1970s/early 80s).
Avril and Laurence were great characters - especially Laurence, he always makes me laugh! It is really sad how they were both killed off in the 1954-1970 series, they were killed in a car crash on their son's birthday. A bit disturbing for a schools programme - you actually see their car explode and burst into flames.
I didn't know that some of the Hodgkins family reappeared in the 1954-70 series, I had only seen the 1936-53 series, I would be interested in watching it sometime if it's on youtube too
@@mikey021984 The 1954-1970 series is on CZcams. The actors playing the older versions Avril and Laurence looked very similar to the originals, but Jimmy and Eileen in 1954-1970 were nothing like the original actors
I saw this in my last year in primary school and now I am very grateful for this education.
Brings back memories,of school!!

Id love to bring that wife back down to earth, she acts so superior as if she better. Than the rest of her nabours.

@@Matt571 Apparently Arthur and Mabel weren't in it, supposedly dying before 1965
At 4:08 there is a fun fair with a large dark building behind it...does anyone know what building it is and where???
No sorry x
The wife acts as if she better than her nabours, she's a snob but got nothing to be snobby about. She's horrible to miss you whonext door.
