An emergency episode. Following the news that The Archers will no longer have its planned new studio in Birmingham, Philippa is joined by three of the cast: Susie Riddell, who plays Tracy Horrobin, Annabelle Dowler, who plays Kirsty Miller, and Andrew Wincott, who plays Adam Macy.
They explain what has happened, why recording the programme away from its production team would change The Archers as we know it, and what the decision could mean for Birmingham and the West Midlands. Most importantly, they tell us what we as listeners can do to help.
