Special treat in store for Archers fans

Western Daily Press

BBC Radio 4’s The Archers is to broadcast special programmes to mark its 75th anniversary today.

Broadcast for the first time on January 1, 1951, the milestone will be marked with the modern-day cast recreating the first-ever scene from the original episode.

Timothy Bentinck, Felicity Finch, Daisy Badger, Ben Norris and Wilf Scolding will play Dan, Doris, Grace, Philip and Jack Archer, gathering in the kitchen of Brookfield Farm to ring in the New Year.

This will be a chance to hear The Archers' very first episode brought back to life, as the original recording no longer survives.

In the present day, fans of the radio soap were left on tenterhooks by the latest episode, after a dramatic New Year's Eve attack shook the village.
