''[[The Archers]]'' is a popular [[The BBC|BBC]] radio [[Soap Opera]], set in the fictional [[The Midlands|West Midlands]] county of Borsetshire. It follows the lives of the Archer family, and the other families living in the small, rural village of Ambridge.
It has been broadcast nationally since 1951 after starting its regional run in 1950, making it the longest running current soap opera in radio format and, since the cancelling of ''[[Guiding Light]]'', the longest running soap in any format.

* [[Barset Shire]]: Borsetshire
* [[Crossover]]: With Gardener's Question Time, of all things. Eric Robson and some of the panel appeared in ''The Archers'', and on Easter Sunday 2011 several Archers characters asked questions on GQT. The odd presenter from other BBC series has turned up [[As Himself]] or herself to open the village fete or something as well.
