63. The Chris-mas Special

Emma Freud is joined by Wilf Scolding, who plays Chris Carter, news presenter Andrew Peach, and farmer Mike Wilkins for this special Christmas edition of the podcast.

In this special Christmas edition of the podcast, Emma Freud is joined by Wilf Scolding, who plays Chris Carter, news presenter Andrew Peach, and farmer Mike Wilkins to talk turkeys, tinsel and tractors.

They look at the legacy of John Archer and his tragic death, ahead of what would have been the character's 50th birthday. Emma also finds out what is involved in a tractor run - and discovers they're not an Ambridge invention.

We also test our guests' knowledge of Christmases past with a special festive quiz. What happened the year the Grundys ran out of turkeys? Which titular role did Kenton take on in the Ambridge panto? And which naughty children stole their granny's cassette of carols and played them around the village on a boombox?
