If the long-standing agricultural drama were to expunge all its sexist tropes, it would be left with no female characters at all
Using the analytic tool beloved by patriarchy-smashers everywhere, the Bechdel-Wallace test, the researchers Cara Courage and Nicola Headlam have found that The Archers is more sexist than the James Bond film From Russia with Love. To recap, the test requires two women to engage in dialogue about something other than a man for longer than 30 seconds. Only one-third of Archers episodes met this test even once.
