The Archers is the longest-running soap opera in the world. It has survived for 38 years and more than 10,000 episodes. But does Ambridge exist? How real is Eddie Grundy? What was the truth behind Brian Aldridge's nasty accident? And how was a furry white rodent involved? It's not surprising that even the actors themselves are confused. For some of them fiction has merged with fact. The fans join in the game — buying maps of Ambridge, spending the weekend on a tour of Archer country. "At a period when we're approaching Armageddon," says Professor Hugh-Jones, "perhaps it's good to have something nice and ordinary going on."
