Victory at Ambridge, Part 2

Available for over a year

Travel back in time to 1945 Ambridge for a thrilling, wartime prequel to The Archers. As the war continues, Ambridge is unsettled and on edge. At Brookfield Farm, Londoner Peggy struggles to adapt to a new way of life in the countryside, and comes under suspicion from her mother-in-law, Doris. Meanwhile, land girl Wanda is perturbed by revelations about the past. Meanwhile, village gossip is preoccupied by the ancient prophecies which have been unearthed in the grotto at Lower Loxley. With the prophecies now taking on a darker tone, it is a race against time for the residents of wartime Ambridge (played by the cast of The Archers) to solve a cryptic mystery, which comes to an explosive climax on VE Day. Dramatised from the novel by Catherine Miller, Victory at Ambridge is a vivid portrait of village life in England at a turning point in history. Dan Archer .... Timothy Bentinck Doris Archer ....
