New Year’s Eve: The Lower Loxley Ball
We delve into The Archers’ archive and revisit the Ball at Lower Loxley to see in the New Year, but some residents have more to celebrate than others.
Three weeks of themed programmes from the last two decades reliving key moments from the characters’ lives and the events that make Ambridge unforgettable. This episode forms part of the third week when we take a look at five different occasions that mark unmissable dates in The Ambridge Calendar.
Our first invitation is to the New Year’s Eve Ball at Lower Loxley.
It’s the last night of 2001 and as the New Year is ushered in Peggy and Jack are celebrating their eleventh wedding anniversary. But with Siobhan Hathaway dancing the night away with Brian, maybe Jennifer should be wondering about the future of her own marriage. And over at the Bull Ed can only stand and watch as Will and Emma greet 2002 with a kiss.
This programme was originally broadcast on Monday 31st December 2001
