Behind the scenes at Ambridge

Why do I always feel so guilty when I tell people I don't like The Archers?

I almost feel duty bound to apologise - as if, deep down, I recognise it's merely a stage I'll grow out of, that one day very soon I'll see the error of my ways and join the other people who croon on about its many merits.

But I'm afraid I never have liked it and can't see I ever will. Frankly, I'd rather listen to the shipping forecast.

For Field Day readers who do, however, here's an interesting interview which appeared in Saturday's FT with its agricultural story editor, Graham Harvey.
