Will the script writers introduce a "Bobby Ewing in the shower" moment to deal with the missing pandemic?

[janan]

I'm beginning to think they are deliberately avoiding Coronavirus. Not a bad idea given that it is the main topic of conversation everywhere else! Perhaps the explosion is standing proxy for the pandemic.

Does anyone know how far in advance the episodes are recorded?

[Kay99]

The Archers website suggests 3 to 6 weeks after recording https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5xGwGj4NgfGRJ1B2mFqg6QM/frequently-asked-questions

They might ration them to, say, three per week instead of six ?

I don't have TV but my neighbour tells me that things like Eastenders and other soapy programmes are going to stop filming, and will reduce the number shown, to eek them out.

I forecast we are in for a LOT of repeats ... I heard Radio 4 is going to repeat 'The History of the World in 100 objects' .... looking forward to that !

A repeat of 'Cabin Pressure' would be fun.

There's a letter in ' The Guardian' Newspaper today, - suggesting that we all move to Ambridge, - to avoid Coronavirus!

Yes, I saw that and wondered if it was from someone on this thread!

I'm sure not - just as usual, we thought of it first!

Ah, sitting outside the "B"(ull) with a generous glass of red wine, and others from the "Archers thread", our charabanc safely parked by the green, the late afternoon sun shining on the windows of the Village Shop......
... we're all safely there, aren't we?
