	The Archers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ambridge itself is sometimes said to be based upon the village of Inkberrow in Worcestershire, but the basis for this is only that the village pub - The Old Bull - was the model for the fictional pub The Bull in Ambridge.
		The programme is set in the fictional Midlands village of Ambridge close to Borchester, the county town of Borsetshire, an imaginary shire situated between the (actually contiguous) real counties of Worcestershire and Warwickshire, south of Birmingham in the West Midlands.
		Anywhere further away from Ambridge is referred to as 'but that's on the other side of Felpersham!' (although a number of characters attended the Countryside Alliance march in London, and a couple of scenes have taken place abroad and in Lemington Spa).

	Ambridge (The Archers) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ambridge is a fictional village and the setting for most of the action in the UK cult radio programme, The Archers which has celebrated over 50 years on the BBC Home Service and Radio 4.
		Ambridge is located on the banks of the (fictional) River Am, in the (fictional) county of Borsetshire, which is located somewhere in the English south Midlands.
		Publicity photographs for the programme occasionally use real locations, frequently in Worcestershire, as the studio that produces the series is located nearby in Birmingham– the local pub "The Bull" is modelled on a public house in the Worcestershire village of Inkberrow, and photos showing the "Bull" are actually of the Inkberrow pub.

	The Archers
		The Archers has never shied away from death, one of the most famous incidents being in 1955 when the programme killed off Grace Archer in an audience-catching ploy on the evening that ITV started.

	Media Medium: The Archers
		Mark Lawson (16/2/01 Guardian) believes that "Ambridge's racism, like its defecation, may be occurring out of earshot" and that the programme gets its messages across with subtle, rather than blatant references - "The Archers is playing a complicated and fascinating game with our attitudes to race".
		The Archers, "an everyday story of countryfolk", is the longest running radio serial in the world.
		This is the hi-tech planet of innovation and as part of its public service brief, the BBC was expected to coax farmers to submit to modern methods in the dark days of post-war rationing.

		The Archers has never had a rape before, though it has recently embraced a gay couple (complete with kiss), has lingered for sex in a shower and permitted (though generally punished) adultery between certain categories of character.
		Since The Archers is on Radio 4 where nothing much changes without there being a petition got up about it, the programme's editors cannot alter the ecology of Borsetshire quickly.
		The Archers website, whose public service information has more often dealt with farming problems, carried a telephone number for listeners affected by the rape story to call.
