I don't listen to the Archers but I have friends that do and I have been told that the script writers/story editors change on a fairly regular basis. Apparently Roger Watson (folkie) was doing the story line some years back and had planned in an Ambridge Folk Festival but when his stint was up and the festival haddn't taken place when the editor changed the idea was written out. How true this is I don't know, but those who have been listening to the show might be able to shed some light on it. Cllr
