The Archers

The Archers was a Radio Four programme. While Amy Pond was talking to Mrs Browning in 1984, it was playing in the background. (PROSE: Nothing O'Clock)

When the Eleventh Doctor spoke to Ellery Quest over the radio, he told him it was unfortunately "too late for The Archers". (AUDIO: All of Time and Space)
