A couple of weeks ago, Rob and Helen from The Archers revealed their plans to holiday on the Isle of Wight.
As we’re not regular listeners, we had no idea when the holiday was going to take place, but just happened to switch over to Radio 4 on Sunday morning during omnibus of The Archers and heard Helen saying, “Who needs Venice when you can have Ryde!”
Helen: “Top of my list of romantic places”
In a wonderful piece of promotion for the Island, during Rob and Helen’s journey back to Ambridge, Helen exclaims,
“It was the best time of my life!
“It definitely goes to the top of my list of romantic places.”
She finishes by saying,
“Who needs Venice when you can have Ryde!”
Wight wedding
Later in the programme, it’s revealed that Rob and Helen were secretly wed whilst on the Isle of Wight. Could this be the start of a trend for Wight weddings?
