AND FINALLY . . .
Archers fans complain about wrong type of tractor noise!
The makers of Radio 4 agricultural soap opera The Archers, have revealed that their eagle-eared listeners are very keen to point out their mistakes - going as far as to spot the wrong type of tractor sound!
Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival this week programme archivist Camillia Fisher said the show has recived missives from fans about things as specific as a character getting their car MOT'd four months too early or incorrect birdsong.
However, the true dedicated enthusiast will even let them know when they hear a rogue machinery noise! The Daily Mail quotes the show's agricultural expert Graham Harvey as saying, "We did a scene in the yard during silage making. And there was a sound effect of a tractor driving by behind."We had several letters saying that it could not possibly be a silage tractor and that it was a Massey Ferguson model whatever-it-was."
