Synopsis

• Is there a cure for farmer s lung and would Joe Grundy take it if he could?
• Who fell to his untimely death from the roof of Lower Loxley Hall one stormy January night?
• On which day of the week can you hear a folk version of the famous theme played by The Yetties, instead of the classic orchestral arrangement?

It s been over sixty years since the familiar dum-di-dum-di-dum-di-dum of Barwick Green first brought The Archers to our airwaves, and in that time millions of listeners have followed the everyday lives of country folk in Ambridge. This new companion, which brings together facts and trivia about characters, controversies and country customs in one handy volume, will delight avid addicts and nervous newbies alike.
