So which TARS have influence with the editors of The Archers?
This evening's episode featured Shula and Alistair mentioning that Daniel their son was reading Swallows and Amazons, and really enjoying it. Rough approximation of the ensuing dialogue: 'I suppose that means we'll have to be taking him to the Lake District' 'Just so long as we don't have to buy a boat' 'They look really nice in the new editions'
Sadly it seems the line where Shula replies 'and only £5.99 from all good bookstores' must have been cut. But wow! Blatant plug or what? I almost choked on my pint of Shires. How did we achieve it??
(Incidentally I recall a similar plug for the Chalet School books a few months ago)
