sorry to bring this up again but still no written synopsis on the new website. Is it me or is it the website? If it is me can someone with a computer brain (unlike me) tell me in words of one syllable how to do this. Its most frustrating. Sorry to rant on and repeat the threads of others.
I don't think it's you. I'm away from home and unable to listen and am very fed up at not being able to read the synopses.

I'm glad it's not just me. Where ARE the synopses? I don't want to listen for hours - just find out quickly what's been happening.

I've found the synopses at last. You have to go along as if you want to listen again and then click the date and up comes the written synopsis - or, in the case of July 12th a cast list. I wonder why. I also wonder why the link isn't made clearer. Is it because they don't want people reading instead of listening? Or do they think no-one will know what a synopsis is?

but the date clicking doesn't work with the Friday or Sunday episodes.
And there's no repeat of Friday so they can't make the excuse that it's going to be broadcast again.

I spent about 20 minutes on Saturday trying to fine a written synopsis for Friday Nothing but a cast list. And again this morning trying to find Sunday's. And I work with computers !! Either get the site working before you open it or don't bother.
I do not like the new website - it seems to have been changed for change's sake.
I heartily agree with you all. I work in the web business and the rule of thumb is always that a new website should add functionality and certainly not offer a reduced user experience. This has been blatantly ignored by the BEEB and you can bet your life this has cost a fortune.
Shame on you Auntie! I suggest frustrated readers try www.archersaddicts.co.uk. As I understand it is a site run by fans so not paid so you may need to be patient but at least they ate doing their best - unlike some!

Don't worry about ranting. The more we go on about it hopefully the quicker they'll sort it out.
Bring back the synopsis!

Hi all
I've passed on the frustrations here about the synopses. This is a manual process, so Friday and Sunday synopses often won't appear till Monday.
Tayler
So where is yesterday's? And in this day and age where everything is automated to say it's a manual update is particularly feeble....
It has just appeared - 10 minutes before the repeat
Here we go again. No sign of Tuesday. Tayler you have repeatedly been asked if the intention is to show the synopsis after the repeat. If that is the case why on earth won't you just tell us?
It's on Archers addicts at
Their wording is often the same so how come they can get it up so much more quickly?
Now we seem to be missing Tuesday and Wednesday. I have had enough of shrieking down a black hole to be totally ignored. I will now be raising a formal complaint via the Complaints process and also via Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio 4 Feedback
