I'm doing my master's dissertation on the representation of religion in The Archers and Eastenders and I'd love to interview (probably online) someone from the production or writing team of TA (and of EE!) - anyone know how I can contact such folks?

I'm doing my master's dissertation on the representation of religion in The Archers and EastendersÂ
There was an interesting piece on Today this morning about how many graduates are chasing each job this year. I wonder if awards as the one outlined above skew the statistics at all?
"I'm doing my master's dissertation on the representation of religion in The Archers and Eastenders"
Is this a wind-up?
I did a survey online (linked from the facebook group) on the topic and it was really interesting. Hope I can read the final product!
Archers: too much religion.
Eastenders: not enough religion.
I must agree with Rosie, I haven't seen East Enders for some years but, apart from wedding and funerals, the only remotely religious plot I remember was Sharon trying to get her leg over the curate.
Must be Dickie, it can only be a wind up, it's all very well underachievers like me wasting my time with TA but I can't believe anyone doing a masters would even contemplate such a trivial and non-productive project.

I'm surprised Dagesh hasn't already done it.
It's serious! It's part of a Masters in Communcation. The angle is the whole Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú public service thing and its commitment to representing differing groups and worldviews in its output (and so on) and seeing how far EE and TA are achieving this with regards to religion/spirituality and religious (or even avowedly non-religious) characters, and what the audience of both make of the soaps' represenations of religion and religious characters.
You can fill in the surveys if you want:
The Archers
Eastenders:
Having time to waste I have completed the Archers survey (well kinda). One point I would make is that having selected 'Done', nothing happens; as a minimum I would have expected to be returned to my previous page or better still have a thank you message appear. I can foresee duplicate surveys being forwarded.

It worked for me - I got transferred to a home page for the survey software when I pressed 'done'.
