On the News Quiz tonight;

The Archers; "A memorable theme tune followed by fifteen minutes of ambient farm noises and sighing" - Sandi Toksvig

  Brilliant!

So....poor old nigel falls to his death from the top of his stately home....and some home it must be!!....His scream lasted 3.5 seconds, a body in free fall will accelerate at 9.8 m/s/s, so nigel flew approximately 60m (something like 200 ft), some building!!!

Building wasn't that tall, but sadly for the unlucky swine, someone had left a manhole cover off a rather deep cesspit!

Yes, I wondered about that too, I'm amazed the production staff didn't think more about that. Having said that the whole 60th episode was a bit pants.

I heard Sandi Toksvig, she also said "The producer also let slip three major upcoming plot lines... so that's the next ten years covered then".

Yes but fair's fair, she hasn't spoiled the surprise by telling you what they are though, so you have a decade of suspense and thrills still 

Incidentally, talking of realistic portrayals of rural life, I see "Hot Fuzz" is on tonight, top film
