“I usually love this show but the adverts are really annoying!! They are not making me enjoy it. The skip 30 seconds button is definitely being used as I’m sure many other people are doing to skip the horrendous advertisements. Please stop them.”

“These awful adverts are so bad. And as others reviewers have said, they are repeated every day of the week. Have to press skip and just get annoyed with the way the BBC is presenting the show.”

“BBC Sounds has hundreds of different podcasts yet you only advertise 3 across the 5 podcasts I listen to. You seriously a. tarnishing your brand and b. producing the worst marketing campaign ever by only highlighting 0.1 % of your content. It wouldn't be so bad but the BBC Sounds app is...”Read full review »

“These are so annoying. We are already listening to podcasts - hence listening to the Archers. So we don’t need to be told about your podcast work over and over again. In fact it has completely put me off browsing for anything new! Think therefore you have shot yourselves in the foot here.”

“I too find the podcast ads annoying but if you listen on BBC Sounds you don’t get them. I’m still enjoying The Archers immensely although George is really annoying .and not really believable. Any chance a tractor could topple over on top of him?”

“Don’t you realise that people listen to the archers everyday? To have the same annoying ad for the same annoying not relevant podcast played about 7 times before you change it is very frustrating!”

“I am not enjoying the ads before every episode of the Archers on the podcast.
Please take them off. I listen to radio 4 regularly and don’t need reminding of other programmes. I am constantly fast forwarding to avoid them.”

“I find the adverts far less annoying, than George Grundy , he’s such a hateful character and they way he’s allowed to speak to people especially his mother , without reprisal is so far fetched !, I’m a parent who has raised teenage boys, and yes they can be rude and sullen, but are we the...”Read full review »

I want to listen to The Archers, not one of your presenters begging me to listen to some of your other tosh. I’d be happy to pay a monthly...”Read full review »

“I love the archers and have listened for years. The storylines range from very silly and comical to hard hitting.
However considering this is the BBC and I pay my license, there are adverts at the beginning and they are VERY annoying. Please get rid of them.”

“I have been listening to the Archers for about 40 years and my parents before me. They timed their evening meal for 7.00pm and wouldn’t answer the phone for that precious 15 minutes. I have the luxury of saving up episodes to listen to by podcast, usually when doing the ironing. However these...”Read full review »

And please make sure that loose ends are resolved. E.g. Peggy’s disappearance, non-repayment of Vinces big loan to David, the...”Read full review »

“If you read the comments it’s obvious that the adverts aren’t working. Please can you stop them now. If possible I fast forward past them, but the beauty of podcasts is you can listen anytime/anywhere and it’s not always possible.”

“Do we have a new script writer? Farcical, episodes especially with “Adam you’re fired,” David in the pub, Harrison and the drunk,
Tony being drunk. Appalling, so let’s get back to normal.
Otherwise I love the Archers.”
