Is it even worse that I used to think that about Robin?

No, I think this illustrates why young single clergymen used to go about quiet rural villages in fear of their lives, though: the only available men for miles around who had (a) two braincells to rub together, (b) were educated and (c) weren't from Round There. The same probably applies to young doctors, though I have a vague idea that in the nineteenth century they tended to be married by the time they got to the stage of a country practice.

None of this ought to apply in the real world any more, but then the Archers is curiously behind the times in many ways, and the Vicar is still generally the only character with a wider perspective than the village and some sort of brain, which automatically gives him a head start over the other Ambridge men in the attractiveness stakes.

I think teachers coming to rural schools in China also experience something very similar, even now.

Ambridge vicars have the further edge over doctors/vets in that they've actually studied an arts degree, and thus are permitted to read the newspaper on occasion. Also, whilst we never hear about the professional development of the medics, the vicar is expected to occasionally consider his faith and to talk to the bishop, and thus allowed trips outside the enclave. No wonder they are eligible types!

I'm terribly relieved at [livejournal.com profile] tree_and_leaf's answer, as for some reason I can't get the idea out of my mind that Robin is a horse!
