I love the older episodes, it would be good to revisit the past storyline if possible. Thank you

I set up an Archers play list which may help you navigate through the recordings

Very sad. the hymn singing was beautiful. I remember reading in an Archers book that due to a BBC strike at the time, it was a professional recording. Whatever. It suited the moment perfectly.

I am an ex Archers production manager. We had recorded the service and hymn especially, on location, but the Musicians' Union complained and we had to use a BBC library disc, this with only a couple of hours to go before transmisson. Glad you enjoyed the end result!

Was it meant to end with the choir singing or is this recording cut short?

Hi, just double-checked my original recording and it did indeed end with the choir. No Archers theme.

@@RandomRadioJottings Originally, they had recorded the congregation singing the hymn, but they had to cut it because of a threatened strike because they were not in the actors' sunion, so it was replaced at the last minute by a cathedral choir recording!

What's the name of the hymn - sure it's very well known, but I don't know the name! Thanks!xxx

Shula later married Mark in the end and stayed married to him until he died - in real life, the actress who plays Shula is married to the actor who plays Brian Aldredge - her sister’s husband in the programme!

Arthur Vasey I remember she broke off the first engagement in 1981. Went out with Nigel then discovered she really did love Mark around 1984. Beautiful storyline that took years to play out.
