The Archers is changing these days; the suddenly grown-up children of established characters are beginning to feature in regular storylines (I'm just waiting for Rory, the young illicit son of Brian, to start getting bolshie and Irish like his late mother). It's all part of the BBC's plan to attract a much younger audience to Radio 4. They've already started on (horrors!) the Today programme -I heard at least two items on rock music last week and I think I heard a rock person being interviewed. I don't mind particularly, but I feel that the spirit and the purpose of the Today programme are being severely compromised. I hope the BBC won't be allowed to get away with this. |
