The Archers’ actor June Spencer, 103, retires after more than 70 years

  • I have listened to this occasionally over the years and found it quite enjoyable…but I like listening to plays anyway. I can’t believe this woman is 103 years old, my goodness!!

The Archers! Bah!
The BBC replaced Dick Barton Special Argent with the Archers.The government needed some new info/propaganda program for farmers.Even at a young age I suspected dark forces were at work.

Oh bless her
I’ve listened to the archers usually the omnibus on BBC Sounds.
Just lately it got to gritty with slave labour, alcoholism ,controlling husband … I like to be taken to the 80s & 90s with Phil in the milking parlour…
At the Mo I’m taking a Archer break and listening to all creatures great and small on audio

Is this on the radio, Ripple? Or is it on an app, or audio book? For some reason Audible doesn’t work with me and I can’t be bothered faffing around to find out why, just now.

Absolutely that chap who was keen on Lillian , it ended with him dying hit-and-run!
He was a rotter.

I still miss Phil’s wife Grace

Good luck to her. She must have started playing the part when the Archers had little more than a couple of allotments. :lol:

Deadly dull:

Excitingly exciting:
