34. Making Hay at Hay, with Ruth, Ben – and is that Matt?

Available for over a year

The Archers Podcast takes to the stage at the Hay Festival, in a marquee packed with Archers fans. Emma Freud talks to Ruth Archer - played by Felicity Finch - about her arrival in Ambridge, how David won her heart and her almost-affair with Sam the herdsman. Ben Archer - played by Ben Norris - is put through his paces by sound effects guru Vanessa Nuttall, who takes him for a ride on horseback and re-creates the after-effects of a big night out. Walking Archers encyclopaedia and scriptwriter, Keri Davies, tells us why he loves Nelson Gabriel. And who's that in the audience? An Ambridge villain makes a surprise appearance in Hay (and we thought he was in Costa Rica). WhatsApp us on 08000 289 044 Email us [email protected] Presenter Emma Freud Producer Jessica Bunch
