It's Competition Time!


THREE LUCKY READERS will each win a SIGNED copy of Timothy Bentinck’s new book ‘Being David Archer: And Other Unusual Ways of Earning a Living’.

All you have to do is reply in the comments with a question that you’ve always wanted to ask David Archer! A crack team of judges here at Ha Archers Towers will sift through the replies and choose their 3 favourites. These will be put to Timothy – sorry, David – and we will publish his answers! The authors of the 3 selected questions will each win a copy of the book.

So what are you waiting for? Pull up a comfy chair, settle down with a pint of Shires or a large Scruff Gin and Tonic, and get thinking!

Closing date for entries is Thursday 12 October 2017. UK entries only.

Our thanks to Timothy Bentinck and Little, Brown Book Group.

Terms and conditions available on request.

  1. David, you've been married for years, and had a flingette with Sophie a while ago. Have you had any other extra-marital experiences?

  2. Timothy, if you could give voice to any one of the myriad 'silent characters' that infest the Abridge undergrowth, who would it be and why?

  3. Do you think that there would be a market for a 'Calendar Boys' calendar? I hear Jazza is keen.

  4. Hello Timothy, I'm curious to know how much advance notice you get of The Archers big plot lines and how do you prepare for them? Also, how hard is it to keep them secret from friends, family and fans? :-) Thanks, Harriet.

  5. Hi David, you always seem very calm and composed. But is there anything - apart from Jude - that makes you really angry? Thanks, Graeme

  6. Hi Tim - do you find some script writers dialogue easier/more natural for David and do you have to change much? Froma a listener viewpoint it seems remarkably consistent. Thanks, Andrew (@AndrewHornUK on Twitter)

  7. Hello, Timothy. I'm interested to know how you think David has managed to reconcile his role in Nigel's death with his conscience. I'm thinking particularly of David's line on that night, "Come on, Nigel. Are you a man or a mouse?"

  8. Hello David, I would like to ask if you would still be happy to see Pip as the future of Brookfield if she took up with someone you might not think of as entirely ... suitable? Somebody like ... I don't know ... just plucking a name out of the air ... like Toby Fairbrother for instance? Thanks, Carol
