"The best bit about The Archers is spotting when some snippet of farming news or politics is slipped in, sounding like the kind of clanging, clumsy insert you may expect on North Korean radio. All farmhands speak in a subhuman grunt language, which is both scary and sexually arousing for regular listeners."

Trying to work out the occasion if we have not the last Dan and Mark and Shula together
I did wonder if the one next to Dan was Caroline, but not quite sure why she'd have muscled in to a clan event

Think it's a 500th/750th programme type event, not an Archer one?

No, it's definitely Caroline, and I think Polly Perks was long gone before Shula and Mark were married. Dx

I started listening around 1988/9 and she (Polly) was dead by then, as were Dan, Doris and Walter Gabriel.

I remember the wedding issue in the 'Radio Times'; what I don't remember is that Shula ever had hair like that - in the 1980s?!. If this had turned out to be the engagement of Worralls and Biggles, I'd have believed it. Wearing their flying helmets.

I now have it here before me (THanks, Rosie); and am staring in awe. It's like looking at old school photographs, where people I KNOW were fifteen all look like Victorian elders. 1 January 1981, eh? It only /feels/ like yesterday.
