The cast included [[Joan Sims]], [[Lance Percival]], [[Roy Kinnear]], [[Derek Griffiths]] and [[John Fortune]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069893/|title=The Cobblers of Umbridge (TV Movie 1973)|date=28 December 1973|publisher=IMDb|access-date=28 December 2014|archive-date=13 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713055013/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069893/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme]]'' has parodied ''The Archers'' with its recurring "The Archers Accidentally" sketches;<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.bbc-now.co.uk/programmes/p01pgzx0 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20140530205122/http://www.bbc-now.co.uk/programmes/p01pgzx0 | url-status=dead | archive-date=30 May 2014 | title=BBC Radio 4 – John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, Series 1, Episode ...| date=30 May 2014}}</ref> the sketches claim to portray ''The Archers'' the way it sounds to people who only listen to the show inadvertently. The radio series of ''[[Dead Ringers (series)|Dead Ringers]]'' has frequently parodied characters from ''The Archers'', including a special edition. The subtitle was parodied by [[Bill Tidy]] in his long-running cartoon of ''[[The Cloggies]]'', "an Everyday Saga in the Life of Clog Dancing Folk", which ran in the satirical magazine ''[[Private Eye]]'', and later in ''[[The Listener (magazine)|The Listener]]''. In Series 12 episode 4 of the BBC series ‘’[[Father Brown]]’’, the plot revolves around a radio program called “The Muckles”, which is clearly based on ‘’The Archers’’.
