The Archers: The Ambridge Chronicles

The Archers, like life, is made of moments: marriages and births, loves and losses, triumphs and disasters. It has been the soundtrack of our lives for over six decades, from stooking corn with Dan Archer in the 1950s to the tragic death of Nigel Pargetter in 2011.

We know the characters of Ambridge – from much-loved Phil and Jill Archer and the irrepressible Grundys to wayward Brian Aldridge – like we know close friends. This book is their tribute.

The Ambridge Chronicles relives some of the defining moments in The Archers history, delving into the rich archive of its scripts, to celebrate the highs and lows that have made the world’s longest running radio serial so treasured.

As much as anything, the book is a social history of growing up on the edges of criminality

An amazing book … one of the best books about a band I have ever read. I've been raving about it to everyone I meet

—— Michael Hann, music journalist

Hilarious ... heartwarming... recounted in a distinctive, charming style which makes it impossible not to champion the group

—— Classic Pop Magazine
