All About The Archers

In this week’s All About The Archers, we discuss The Archers episodes from Sunday 24th – Tuesday 26th May — including our first chance to properly unpack that extraordinary Friday episode.
Was it one of the greatest Archers episodes ever?
This week we cover:
The explosive fallout from Friday’s Home Farm showdown
Brian vs Adam… and the possible fall of House Aldridge
Kate, Alice, Ian and the emotional wreckage
Debbie’s future — goodbye or just goodbye for now?
Adam’s land obsession reaches new heights
George, Ruairi and the secret that refuses to stay buried
Carol, Anna and yet more battling over independence
Alan’s unexpected fundraising predicament
Cheese vs hummus & roasted veg sandwiches
Star of the Week, Twit of the Week and gloriously questionable predictions
Plus Philippa reports back from the Hay Festival, including a special recreation of Grace Archer’s death… and another attempt to secure herself a role in The Archers.

In this very special episode, we imagine what would happen if The Archers met Race Across the World.
To mark Lauren’s final regular episode, we choose our Ambridge contestants, send them racing from New York to New Delhi and back to Ambridge, and decide who would make it to the finish line.
Expect:
Tracy and Brad as serious contenders
Chelsea proving she could win people over anywhere
Justin and Lillian in matching tracksuits
Helen and Tom falling apart almost immediately
Kate chasing spiritual enlightenment
George getting into trouble abroad
Leonard, Ben, Jakob, Natasha, Susan and more thrown into the race
We also ask who we’d personally choose as our Archers travel partner, with answers ranging from the practical to the unpredictable.
A huge thank you to Lauren for all the laughs, chaos and brilliant Archers chat. She will be very much missed, but we hope to tempt her back for future specials.
This episode contains Archers chat, mild chaos and a lot of questionable travel planning.

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?
