The Alternative Archers

[eltonioni]

Next time it's on, try this:

For the Posh characters' dialogue, voiceover with "I say"
For the rest, voiceover with "Ooo arrr"

It seems to work with any storyline without spoiling it.

Love both real and alternative Archers. What voice would you use for Matt (the villain for you non-fans)? Terry Thomas?

[Bill Haddow]

It is difficult to do a better spoof on the Archers than the broadcast version itself :-

Typical scene setting opening dialogue: "Pip, Josh, Ben, David, Ruth, what are you all doing in the Brookfield milking parlour at 4 o'clock on such a rainy afternoon?"

Two characters discussing a third will always end the exchange "....things being the way they are (optionally add 'at Home Farm / The Bull / Grey Gables' as appropriate)" Clarrie will end conversations with "I s'pose" unless it is time for "Oooh Eddie, what have you done?"

Brian always greets couples "Hullo you two" and calls his wife "Jennidahling"


Haven't listened for a while, what was this year's Grundy turkey crisis?
