  2. The history. Radio Dramas have been around for a very long time. Over the years, the means of recording and broadcasting have change as new technology has come into play. Radio Drama was developed in 1920’s and was extremely popular right up until the invention of the Television in the 1950’s. Unfortunately radio drama has never managed to regain its popularity in some countries. In Britain, however Radio drama is still very popular with producers such as the BBC broadcasting hundreds of new and very popular plays.

  3. Who are radio dramas usually aimed at? I think that when radio dramas first began, they were very much aimed at people on the go, those who were in the car were now able to have a good drama to keep them company. Although radio dramas have not lost their appeal to people on the go, they have widened their demographics to those who are at home as well. Radio drama is no longer an after thought, from television but has become developed in its own rights- it incorporates so many different genres and can defiantly appeal to a wide variety of people. For this reason, I am confident that the radio drama that i am in the midst of planning, would be able to feature on a radio show such as Radio 4. i hop to create a piece that has enough drama to attract the listener, and good substance to keep them engaged in my play.

  4. What is The Archers? The Archers is a radio soap opera set in the fictional English village of Ambridge. It provides contemporary drama in a rural setting. What will I hear? Ambridge is portrayed as a 21st century village, with all the pressures of modern rural life. You'll become involved in the characters' personal and business struggles, love affairs - happy and troubled - and village activities. And there are plenty of lighter moments too. Who is it about? Several of the main characters are farmers: David and Ruth Archer at Brookfield Farm (dairy and beef), their cousins Pat and Tony Archer who farm organically at Bridge Farm (dairy and vegetables), and well-off Brian and Jennifer Aldridge at Home Farm (arable, sheep and deer), the biggest in the village. The Archer family is related to the Aldridges and to several other Ambridge families, including the Hebden Lloyds (riding school and vet), the Pargetters (stately home owners) and the Woolleys (retired business people). And there are lots of less well-off characters. Most of them live and work in and around Ambridge: on the farms, in the local pub (The Bull), at the village shop, the swanky Grey Gables hotel or St Stephen's church. Others might be found in the nearby market town of Borchester. Full details can be found in the Who's Who. And there are family trees for the main families . How can I hear it? The 13-minute episodes are broadcast on BBC Radio 4 every day, Sunday to Friday at 7 pm, repeated the next day at 2pm (except Saturdays). There's an omnibus edition of all the week's episodes on Sunday morning at 10.00am. BBC Radio 4 is on 92-95 FM, 198 LW, and on digital radio and television You can also listen online , or get the programme sent to your computer in a podcast.
