Those who tire of ridiculous plots in TV soaps (Letters, 2 April) might prefer the gentle pace of life in Ambridge. The everyday story of country folk in The Archers only occasionally features things such as coercive control leading to a stabbing, modern slavery resulting in an explosion and fire at a country house hotel, and an armed robbery at the Post Office. But thankfully no murders yet, unless you count the time David Archer shot a badger.

• The prefix “centi” means “one hundredth”. So a “centibillionaire” (Six tips for budding centibillionaires (No 1: come from a very wealthy family, 6 April) would be worth £10m, which Jeremy Hunt would no doubt regard as “not particularly high”. If we must have a word for someone worth £100bn, it would be a “hectobillionaire”.
