All About The Archers

We are thrilled to welcome Mark Bonnar to All About The Archers to talk about his arrival in Ambridge as Scottish crofter Finlay.
Mark chats about joining The Archers for its 75th anniversary, whether Finlay could ever return, what he really thinks of Helen, and why Finlay’s croft is absolutely non-negotiable.
We also discuss Celebrity Traitors, returning to Line of Duty as Mike Dryden, his upcoming drama The Siege, radio acting, Big Finish, Shetland, cheese, swooning listeners and the vital question: what biscuit would Finlay eat while hiding from Helen?

This week we’re discussing the latest drama in The Archers, focusing on the episodes from Sunday 19th to Tuesday 21st April.
At the centre of the week is Kirsty’s possible pregnancy, as Helen inserts herself into events in the way only Helen can, while Alice becomes increasingly fixated on Brian's health and Adam is left crushed after yet another setback at Home Farm.
We also get into:
Kirsty’s missed period and whether this could be pregnancy, perimenopause or something else
Helen being overbearing, exhausting and impossible to avoid
Tony discovering just how much the Angus cows made at market
Alice pushing the dementia theory further
Rex’s drunken behaviour and why it could change things with Alice
Brian’s increasingly appalling treatment of Adam
Why Adam’s hopes for Home Farm were so painful to hear unravel
The sense that the Ruairi and George fallout is still building towards something bigger
