B3980
As a matter of fact, the writers of The Archers tend to be a bit slapdash with road numbers, but perhaps this is deliberate, in order to obscure the "real" location of the places mentioned in the show. Nonetheless, actual places such as Birmingham do get mentioned from time to time ...

Borsetshire is a mess for road numbering - others nearby include A1992, B4879 and A9110.

From the SABRE Wiki: Fictional Road Numbers :
Roads often feature in drama series, either in television, on radio or in books. Sometimes to add to the "authenticity" of the fiction, road numbers are used. Usually these numbers are dreamt up by the relevant author or production team, but occasionally the Department for Transport are aware of their usage and may suggest numbers to be used. Where the DfT are aware, those numbers are blacklisted from use for a period of time, usually three years.

Probably the only bit of the damn thing that has ever been entertaining, it was taken out when HD 19/03 became GG119 because everyone nowadays involved with it is a boring automaton it seems.
