69. How to Make The Archers and Ambridge Art

Emma Freud is joined by Annabelle Dowler, who plays Kirsty, and art expert Tim Marlow to discuss art in Ambridge, and Keri Davies answers questions on how The Archers is made.

In the week when Peggy's legacy art-work is unveiled, Emma Freud discusses art in Ambridge with Annabelle Dowler, who plays Kirsty, writer Keri Davies, and CEO of the Design Museum Tim Marlow. The guests try their hands at sketching how they imagine the controversial rewilding installation, uncover masterpieces at Lower Loxley, and remember an animal with an eye for painting.

Emma, Annabelle and Tim share their latest theories on who attacked George, including some brand new four-legged suspects.

Keri Davies answers listeners' questions about how The Archers is produced, from characters' appearances to the cost of a pint of Shires at The Bull.
