With his recent thoughts on work experience, Daniel seems to be interested in following in the footsteps of his dead father Mark Hebden.
We've written a brief life story of Shula's first husband: lawyer and cricketer Mark Hebden.
Keri Davies is an Archers (and Ambridge Extra) scriptwriter and web producer.

I didn't know that Mark considered becoming a blacksmith. And people say character transformations are a new thing!

And lo Lemon! Here we are discussing one of the most dull characters ever, and you have highly amused me. Mark's parents Bunty and Reg sounded much more fun, all floral prints, Hush Puppies and a Jag.
I can't remember Mark wanting to be a blacksmith. If he had packed in the law for that, it would have made him more interesting.
And if he had become a farrier he could have apprenticed Chris Carter.

Ah, thanks VH, and apologies. I can't get to the file today, but I'll correct it tomorrow.
