Good points. Family farmers (as we have in The Archers) do seem to be more isolated and nuclear family oriented than the other professions. How many internal conflicts/crises about the future of their businesses can the scriptwriters create for each of the three major family farms? That reminds me, we haven’t heard from Kate in a while. What has she been up to?
Absolutely, PP. The show has an agricultural advisor but when it comes to police, law, doctor etc, it is more hit and miss if their words and actions make any sense… only in Borsetshire….
