Screaming award

Graham Seed is the first actor to be named Radio Broadcaster of the Year. The judges from the Broadcasting Press Guild have done this to recognise the affection which he attracted as Nigel Pargetter in The Archers, & the ‘huge outcry’ which greeted his demise.

Quite right too, though it won’t in itself do much to replace the 70% of his income which he said he has lost.

It is going to be interesting to see if the BBC’s cunning plot - to persuade fans to buy a digital radio in order to hear the parallel Archer’s world, available only on Radio 4 Extra -will have the desired effect.

A true parallel world would be one in which Nigel survived the fall.
