Spring is in the air the Ambridge countryside, and a 30-something's fancy turns to thoughts of love
The Archers
7.00pm R4 Kisses on radio can be a bit icky and far too sloppy-sounding. But there is a kiss in today's Archers episode that is rather sweet and not over-played or gooey. The fact that it is between two men makes it all the more touching. Now, Archers fans, rest assured that this is not the end of the world as you know it, though this is Ambridge's first-ever gay kiss and as such is a little piece of radio history. But the overt demonstration of affection - the first between Adam Macy and Grey Gables Irish chef Ian - grows neatly out of a tentative, flirtatious relationship that's been developing between the two men during the past couple of weeks. So when Adam and Ian kiss after a rather haphazard first "date" in The Bull, it's the most natural thing in the world. And things just keep on hotting up in Ambridge - just listen to tomorrow evening's explosive episode. (Alison Graham)
