Queen Camilla raises a glass for Archers' 20,000th episode
By Helen BushbyEntertainment reporter
Ardent Archers fan Queen Camilla is celebrating the 20,000th episode of The Bbc Radio 4 drama by raising a glass to the " joy, tears and laughter" it brings its audience.
Camilla was " sad" to miss The Event .
She sent a message to be read out at a BBC reception in Birmingham, where The Show is recorded, by Louiza Patikas who plays Helen Archer .
That character has been part of a Coercive Control storyline, praised by The Queen for raising awareness.
Camilla's message to The Show 's editor, Jeremy Howe , referenced the recent return of Rob Titchener to The Show , after his divorce from Helen.
Camilla said: " As One of your greatest fans, and sadly unable to join you this evening, I will be thinking of you all and raising a glass to mark over a quarter of A Million minutes of Archers magic from The Last 72 years.
" Thank You for bringing joy, companionship, laughter, tears, compassion and understanding to your audience across the globe.
" Here's to The Next 20,000 Episodes - and, let's hope, The End of Rob Titchener once and for all!
" Camilla R. "
" The Archers ' most iconic villain" and the Domestic Abuse storyline.

She had a scene written for the occasion, and it was recorded as she watched, having already previously made a Cameo Appearance on The Show .
