Up until 1994 only selected episodes of the popular drama were saved.

Blimey! And we all thought archiving policy for TV was bad...

[Ian B]

Great, a news item about six months of omnibus editions - and yet nothing has been done about my recordings of every episode from 1983 to early '91 in three years!

[Pedroza]

i saw that on BBC Points west at lunchtime

and missed the main 630 program bugger

[Ben]

This is a brilliant discovery, though I can't believe it took six years for anyone to notice.

Might it be worth mentioning your collection to the BBC again, now that Archers' recoveries are back in the news?

According to Infax, three of these episodes are missing from the archives (the 1955, 1960 and 1961 episodes). Anyone know who's best to contact about this?

Just bumping this up in the hope someone knows who to contact re returning Archers episodes...

[John Green]

I was pleased to see that some of the Archers' 'lost' episodes came out on audio cassette: www.amazon.co.uk/Vintage-Archers-Episodes-Radio-Collection/dp/0563557400/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=lost+archers+vintage&qid=1633381337&s=books&sr=1-1

Anyone know what became of Ian B's collection, mentioned up-thread?
