| Some 'Rock' person on Today, bring it on. Not a slippery slope just real life. Radio 4 is the auditory wall paper of my life. I grew up in the seventies and it is great hearing about the icons I had as a child, Debbie Harry, another 'Rock', person on Woman's hour was brilliant and some of the guests on Desert Island discs are under 50! There is room for the classic drama but some of the contemporary afternoon plays are wonderful too. From where I stand and amongst my contemporaries, the Archers is not edgy just trying to keep up. Real people do have affairs with very unlikely people. Relationships are a big part of peoples lives, you can't expect all the young people in the play to be turning up at WI meetings and making entries for the flower and produce show. |
