In this episode, we explore the 1981 television pilot K-9 and Company, a unique and historic entry in the Doctor Who universe. Produced as a proposed Doctor Who spin-off, K-9 and Company stars the legendary Elisabeth Sladen as investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith alongside the robotic dog K9, voiced by John Leeson. While both were iconic former companions of the Fourth Doctor in Doctor Who, they had never appeared together on screen until the K-9 and Company pilot episode, titled A Girl's Best Friend. Broadcast on BBC1 as a Doctor Who related Christmas special on 28 December 1981, K-9 and Company remains a vital piece of the Doctor Who franchise history despite not being commissioned for a full series. The existence of K-9 and Company was largely due to Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner, who wanted to bring Elisabeth Sladen back to the Doctor Who family. His initial 1980 plan for the actress would have seen Sarah Jane Smith travel in the TARDIS during the Doctor Who transition from Tom Baker to Peter Davison. However, Sladen wanted a role that evolved beyond her previous Doctor Who narrative. Simultaneously, the Doctor Who production team was struggling with the logistics of K9. While K9 was a massive hit with Doctor Who viewers, the prop was technically awkward and made the Doctor Who heroes too capable. The solution was K-9 and Company, a child-orientated Doctor Who spin-off where Sarah Jane Smith would be the central heroic lead. Before K-9 and Company, Elisabeth Clara Heath Sladen built a career in theatre and television, appearing in Z-Cars and Doomwatch. Her work on Z-Cars led directly to her casting in Doctor Who. Interestingly, the Doctor Who role of the new companion for The Time Warrior was originally cast with April Walker. However, Doctor Who lead Jon Pertwee felt the chemistry was wrong, leading to Sladen being cast as the definitive Sarah Jane Smith. She played the role in Doctor Who from 1973 to 1976, eventually returning for the K-9 and Company pilot. Her Doctor Who legacy continued in 2006 with David Tennant and the successful Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures. Following her death in 2011, Doctor Who aired a tribute during The Impossible Astronaut, proving her status as a Doctor Who icon. The voice behind the metal dog in K-9 and Company, John Leeson, first voiced K9 in the 1977 Doctor Who serial The Invisible Enemy. While Tom Baker had a difficult relationship with the K9 prop, he worked well with Leeson. Leeson briefly left Doctor Who to avoid being typecast but returned for K-9 and Company and later the Doctor Who anniversary special The Five Doctors. The K-9 and Company pilot also featured Colin Jeavons, known for his work in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Doctor Who serial The Underwater Menace, and Mary Wimbush, a stalwart of The Archers. Written by Terence Dudley, a writer and director for Doctor Who stories like Meglos, the K-9 and Company pilot stands as a fascinating "what if" in the wider Doctor Who mythology.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

In today's episode we break down the key moments so far from the Ashes Test in Adelaide — a match shaped by control, class batting, disciplined bowling and Australia steadily tightening their grip. We get into: • Usman Khawaja's 82 • Alex Carey's home-ground 106 and how it shifted the game • The around-the-wicket inswing plan • Archers class spell (5–54) • Australia adding 50 crucial morning runs and stretching England at the perfect time Then we look at the bowling story — Cummins' control (3–54), Boland's relentless areas, and Nathan Lyon overtaking McGrath to move into second on Australia's all-time Test wicket list. We also unpack Pope vs Lyon and what England's technical battle looks like moving forward.

Scenarios range from how Lower Loxley might handle a job applicant with dyspraxia, to what happens if Pip is asked to seek a dyslexia assessment for Rosie, or how Emma and Will might navigate an autism diagnosis for Kiera.She also reflects on the quirks of everyday neurodiverse life – such as owning 13 scientific calculators or tracking life events on an Excel spreadsheet – and how these realities could enrich the drama. The paper suggests that the long-form writing of The Archers, where stories unfold over years, is uniquely suited to portraying neurodiversity with authenticity and depth.About the speakerAndrea Hart lives in a neurodiverse household and uses this lived experience to highlight why authentic representation matters. She is committed to showing how neurodiversity can be woven naturally into everyday narratives.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.Please note: the sound quality on this recording is not as clear as usual. We apologise for this and thank you for your understanding.This episode continues an intergenerational exploration of the Aldridge family, turning the focus to Kate Madikane.It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves - Helen Burrows and Louise GilliesFollowing earlier studies of the Aldridge family genogram, Helen Burrows and Louise Gillies now turn to Kate, the unconventional middle child. Unlike Debbie and Adam, whose lives are grounded in farming, or Alice with her equestrian focus, Kate has always walked her own path. From a troubled adolescence to a succession of difficult relationships, she now appears to be moving into a more settled phase.This paper explores what makes Kate who she is. From a psychological angle, her behaviour displays traits that echo ADHD characteristics. Yet knowing Kate, she would likely reject such categorisation. The authors therefore also consider alternative frameworks she might embrace herself, examining how her strongly ‘New Age' outlook shapes her decisions, her relationships, and her role within Ambridge life.Helen Burrows Helen is a retired consultant psychiatrist who specialised in child and adolescent mental health. She has a long-standing interest in how early experiences shape personality and behaviour, and enjoys applying psychological frameworks to the lives of Ambridge residents. She has been a listener to The Archers for decades and values the Academic Archers project as a way of combining professional insight with fandom.Louise Gillies Louise has a background in clinical psychology and education. She has worked in both NHS and academic settings, with a focus on neurodiversity and the ways in which different psychological theories can shed light on everyday lives. A dedicated Archers fan, she brings both professional expertise and listener curiosity to her contributions to Academic Archers.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

We apologise for this and thank you for your understanding.This episode examines how class operates in The Archers and whether it mirrors wider English society.I look down on him – From Lord Netherborn to David Archer to Tracey Horrobin, Class in Ambridge: does it reflect the English experience? - Christine NarramoreFrom Prince Philip's reflections on the apparent flexibility of the class system to George Bernard Shaw's sharp observations on English snobbery, the question of class runs deep through British life. The Archers provides fertile ground to test how those dynamics play out in microcosm.This paper explores whether the shifting social structure of Ambridge mirrors real-world class experience. Taking a longitudinal approach, it maps social mobility in the village from Dan Archer to Freddie Pargeter. It considers how class is expressed through money, opportunity, and expectation, comparing experiences such as Fallon's and Emma's, who attended the same school but face very different futures.By asking how privilege, barriers, and aspiration intersect in Ambridge, the paper sheds light on whether this fictional village really reflects the English class system — or if it creates its own version.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

The Shield of Faith Series: Suited Up - The Armor of God (Week 5 of 7) Scripture: Ephesians 6:16 Summary When Paul describes the armor of God, he says "above all, taking the shield of faith." That phrase alone tells us how critical this piece of armor is—it's our primary defense in spiritual warfare. In Roman warfare, soldiers carried large rectangular shields (scutum)—about 4 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide, made of wood covered with leather. This shield protected the soldier's entire body and could interlock with other shields to form a defensive wall. Most critically, when soaked in water, it could extinguish flaming arrows that enemies would shoot to create panic and break battle lines. That's the picture Paul gives us. The enemy shoots fiery darts—attacks designed to ignite fear, doubt, and destruction. But the shield of faith, when properly used, extinguishes every single one. Key Points: 1. Faith Is Active Trust in God's Character and Promises Faith is not positive thinking, "believing hard enough," or blind optimism. Biblical faith is active trust in God's character and promises based on what He has revealed in His Word. Hebrews 11:1 defines it: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith has substance and evidence—it's not vague spirituality but confident trust in a God who has proven Himself faithful. The key distinction: Positive thinking says: "Everything will work out fine" (based on nothing) Biblical faith says: "God works all things together for good for those who love Him" (based on Romans 8:28) Faith is only as strong as its object. You can have great faith in a weak foundation and still fall. Or you can have small faith in a strong foundation and stand firm. It's not the size of your faith that matters—it's the size of your God. Jesus said even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains (Matthew 17:20). Why? Because even tiny faith in an infinite God is powerful. What does faith trust? God's Character - Who He is: faithful, good, sovereign, loving, just, wise, powerful God's Promises - What He has said in Scripture God's Word - The foundation for knowing both His character and promises When attacks come, you don't lift the shield by "believing harder." You lift it by actively trusting what you know to be true about God. 2. The Enemy's Fiery Darts Are Designed to Destroy Your Faith In ancient warfare, fiery darts were devastating weapons. Archers would wrap arrow tips in cloth, soak them in pitch or oil, light them on fire, and shoot them at enemy forces. These arrows weren't just designed to injure—they were designed to ignite, spread panic, and create chaos. That's exactly how Satan's attacks work. He shoots multiple fiery darts designed to ignite fear, doubt, and spiritual destruction. What are these fiery darts? Specific examples: Doubt - "Did God really say that? Can you trust His promises? Where is He now?" Temptation - "You can't resist this. You've failed before. Just give in." Accusation - "You're not really saved. Look at your sin. God couldn't accept you." Discouragement - "Nothing's working. God doesn't hear your prayers. Give up." Fear - "You're going to lose everything. This situation is hopeless." Comparison - "Everyone else has it better. God must not care about you." Bitterness - "You have every right to be angry. They don't deserve forgiveness." Notice the pattern: Every fiery dart is designed to make you question God's character or doubt His promises. Satan's goal isn't just to make you sin—it's to destroy your faith. If he can get you to stop trusting God, everything else crumbles. Here's what makes these darts "fiery"—they don't just hit you; they ignite ongoing damage. One moment of doubt can spiral into days of spiritual paralysis. One temptation can become a consuming pattern. One accusation can create crushing guilt that destroys your effectiveness. But the good news: The shield of faith doesn't just deflect these darts—it extinguishes them. How faith extinguishes specific darts: When doubt comes: "I will trust in the Lord with all my heart" (Proverbs 3:5-6) When temptation attacks: "God is faithful and will provide a way of escape" (1 Corinthians 10:13) When accusation hits: "There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1) When discouragement weighs you down: "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength" (Isaiah 40:31) You extinguish the fiery dart by lifting the shield—actively trusting a specific truth about God. 3. You Must Actively Lift the Shield to Extinguish the Darts Many Christians have the shield but don't lift it. Paul says "taking the shield of faith"—that's active. You must pick it up, position it, and use it. Faith isn't passive. It's not "Well, I believe God exists, so I'm covered." It's active trust that responds to specific attacks with specific truths about God. What actively lifting the shield looks like: Step 1: RECOGNIZE THE ATTACK You can't defend against an attack you don't see coming. When thoughts of doubt, temptation, accusation, or fear hit—recognize them as spiritual attacks, not just random thoughts. James 4:7 says, "Resist the devil and he will flee." You can't resist what you don't recognize. Step 2: RESPOND WITH TRUTH This is where you lift the shield. Immediately respond with specific biblical truth about God. Don't argue with the dart or trust your feelings. Lift the shield—speak God's truth. Jesus modeled this in Matthew 4: "It is written..." Three attacks, three responses from Scripture. Step 3: REPEAT AS NECESSARY The enemy doesn't shoot just once. He keeps firing. So you keep lifting the shield. Every time an attack comes, respond with faith—active trust in God's character and promises. Sometimes you'll lift the shield multiple times in one day. That's not weak faith—that's what warfare looks like. Practical example: You're struggling with financial fear. The enemy shoots: "You're going to lose everything. God isn't going to provide." Lift the shield: "My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory" (Philippians 4:19). I choose to trust His faithfulness over my fear. The dart comes again: "But look at your bank account." Lift the shield again: "God has never failed me. He fed Israel in the wilderness. He will provide for me. I trust His character, not my circumstances." As you repeatedly lift the shield of faith, the fiery dart is extinguished. The fear loses its power. Not because you "believed harder," but because you actively trusted specific truths about God. The Bottom Line: The shield of faith is your primary defense because it protects against the enemy's primary attack—destroying your trust in God. Faith is active trust in God's character and promises. The enemy shoots fiery darts designed to ignite doubt and fear. You must lift the shield actively by recognizing attacks, responding with truth, and repeating as necessary. Above all, take the shield of faith—it will extinguish every fiery dart the enemy shoots at you.

We apologise for this and thank you for your understanding.This episode explores fandom theory, participatory culture, and how these ideas came alive at the Academic Archers Dum Tee Dum Mash Up weekend in 2023.We the Fandom: Applying Fandom Theory to the Academic Archers Dum Tee Dum Mash Up Weekend 2023 - Caroline BirksHenry Jenkins's theory of participatory culture highlights how digital technologies enable audiences to share information, create, and circulate fan works. At the 2023 Birmingham Mash Up weekend, Caroline saw this in action.Examples include fan appropriation through fanfiction, with eroticised predictions of Chelsea and Freddie, moral realignments like Alan's disapproval of the church window, refocalisations centring minor characters and even trees, and recontextualisations such as panels on men's mental health. Fan creativity also extended to craft, with works made for and during the event.The weekend also illustrated Jenkins's concept of audience–producer convergence. Attendees engaged with producers and podcasters, from DumTeeDum's singalong to One Stiletto in the Grave, as well as presentations revealing the soundscape of The Archers. Social media, especially the Sunday Tweetalong, showcased how fans circulate and distribute their work.Finally, Caroline considers Jenkins's optimism that fandom and digital technology can effect wider social change.

Welcome to the fifth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2024 conference.This episode explores how we imagine Ambridge – or don't – depending on the way our minds work.The Ambridge in My Mind's Eye - Carolyn CooperNot all Archers listeners experience the drama in the same way. Around 3% of the population are aphantasic, meaning they lack a visual imagination. For some, images are fleeting or vague; for others, there is only darkness.This paper describes what it is like to follow life in Ambridge without mental pictures of characters, houses or landscapes. Carolyn explains how she replaces imagery with a running internal commentary and why mismatches between actors and characters do not bother her.The presentation also invites listeners to reflect on their own imagination, to consider how their inner visual world shapes their enjoyment of The Archers, and to ask: what difference does imagery really make?About the speakerCarolyn Cooper is an Archers fan who brings her personal perspective as an aphantasic to questions of imagination, listening and enjoyment of the programme.If you enjoy our work and would like to support Academic Archers, you can Buy Us a Coffee – buymeacoffee.com/academicarchers.

Dylan shares how he learned different leadership styles from the crease, why he warms up with a short stick, what “aim small, miss small” did for his consistency, and how he stayed calm in overtime of the national championship. We finish with his PLL experience, training ideas you can steal, and advice for young goalies navigating recruiting and development.Topics:Getting recruited into the crease and falling in love with goalieMental game lessons that stuck for lifeStance changes, foot angle fixes, and throwing the body lowShort-stick TNT warmups and precision trainingLeadership from the crease without being the loudest guyOvertime national championship mindsetThe 9:30 pm Archers phone callAdvice for recruits and young goalies todayIf you coach or play goalie, this episode is loaded with takeaways you can use the next time you step on the field.Support the show

This week, TV writer, producer and director Sally Wainwright OBE is pulling up a seat at Grace's kitchen table. Sally's love for words started at the age of nine, when she and her sister would stage plays together in their bedroom, a passion that would one day see her writing for beloved British soaps like The Archers, Emmerdale and Coronation Street. But the road to writing royalty has not always been so smooth, and Sally and Grace discuss the foods that have seen her through it all — from spaghetti pie, canteen stodge during her bus driving days, boozy lunches at Corrie, and Sally's own concoctions in the kitchen

Poppy and Kris have an honest conversation about writing with neurodivergence and other health issues, and Poppy gives the background of her latest novel, Battle of the Bookshops. Poppy Alexander is the author of The Littlest Library, Storybook Ending, and 25 Days 'Til Christmas. She wrote her first book when she was five. There was a long gap in her writing career while she was at school, and after studying classical music at university, she decided the world of music was better off without her and took up public relations, campaigning, political lobbying, and a bit of journalism instead. She takes an anthropological interest in family, friends, and life in her West Sussex village (think The Archers crossed with Twin Peaks), where she lives with her husband, children, and various other pets. Her latest novel is Battle of the Bookshops. Learn more at PoppyAlexander.com Special thanks to Net Galley. Intro reel, Writing Table Podcast 2024 Outro RecordingFollow the Writing Table:On Twitter/X: @writingtablepcEverywhere else: @writingtablepodcastEmail questions or tell us who you'd like us to invite to the Writing Table: writingtablepodcast@gmail.com.

Original airdate: 9/17/24: Mary Danielsen catches up with Mark and Amber Archer, a husband and wife filmmaking team and founders of the filmmaking ministry, Fearless Features. With over 30 years of combined production experience they are on a mission to share hope in Christ around the world through feature films, documentaries, podcasting, books and more. Today's topic is "Title IX", the name of their recent documentary, their fourth title. A spinoff of a previous film, "Dysphoria", it is a deeper look into the history of that civil rights legislation which was primarily designed to protect women in the education and sports systems to be free from discrimination. However, with Biden's 2024 updates to the law, the rights of gay and transgender have taken precedence. How are these changes going to affect our nation? With 26 red states bringing lawsuits before the August deadline, what is the latest on this unnecessary and likely illegal action? All that and more with the Archers.
