Coronavirus: The Archers to reflect global outbreak in May - BBC News
The BBC has revealed that its long-running BBC Radio 4 soap The Archers will have its first coronavirus-related storyline in early May.
Recording is typically done weeks in advance of broadcast, meaning writers have so far been unable to reflect the rapidly evolving pandemic on the show.
Producers said they wanted listeners to be able "to go to Ambridge in the usual way for as long as possible" .
Episodes from 4 May will reflect the coronavirus outbreak in Ambridge.
