In this special bonus episode of All About The Archers, we’re joined by Richard Attlee, the actor who plays Kenton Archer in The Archers on BBC Radio 4.

Our wonderful Facebook group submitted the questions, and Richard answers them with warmth, humour and plenty of behind-the-scenes insight into life in Ambridge.

We chat about Kenton’s life at The Bull, whether he’d actually run a pub in real life, and what it’s like stepping into one of the show’s most recognisable characters. Richard also shares memories of Kenton’s dramatic dog attack storyline, reflects on Kenton’s relationships with characters like Jolene and Shula, and discusses whether he thinks Kenton would actually be friends with his own character.

There’s also plenty of fun along the way — including Kenton’s favourite biscuit, the possibility of a Kenton retirement hobby, and whether Kenton would serve Alice a drink in The Bull.

If you love The Archers, Kenton Archer, and hearing from the actors who bring Ambridge to life, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Thank you to everyone in our Facebook group who sent in questions.

EMERGENCY EPISODE

We weren’t planning to record today. Philippa is ill. Quentin is busy. There’s a pantomime involved.

But our Facebook group demanded it.

After the shock confession in The Archers, we had to sit down and unpick what on earth is going on.

Spoilers up to Friday morning (we haven’t included Friday’s episode yet).

Is this really the end of the mystery — or are they covering for someone?

In this emergency deep-dive, we discuss:

• Why the calm confession doesn’t “stitch up”
• The New Year’s Eve clues 
• Whether they would really chase George that night
• The theory that they are covering for someone
• The succession tension, and that awkward pause
• Fallon’s cut hand – coincidence or clue?
• Jazzer’s evasiveness and why it’s bothering us
• Why Keira would have made more dramatic sense
• George’s recording and the blackmail implications
• Whether this storyline could be writing someone out
• And why parts of this reveal have left us… irritated

We also debate:

Is George about to return to full “Bad George” mode?

Is blackmail now inevitable?

And how long can this storyline realistically run?

This week on All About The Archers, Philippa and Quentin dig into a tense and chaotic few days in Ambridge, covering Sunday 8th, Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th February.

With George suddenly rushing off at the end of Tuesday’s episode, the big question is whether he’s finally remembered something crucial about the night of the attack — and if so, what that means for Amber, whose behaviour is raising more than a few eyebrows.

There’s also plenty of outrage over the Brookfield inheritance plans, growing concern for Josh’s future, and disbelief at David and Ruth’s approach to both family communication and tax planning. Add in Valentine’s Day nonsense, spiky exchanges across the village, a questionable horsebox hair salon idea, and a surprisingly tender moment from Brian Aldridge, and it’s another packed week in The Archers.

Please take your own advice about inheritance issues and ignore our waffle which is our foolish meanderings and not advice in any way.

• George’s sudden dash and whether his memory is returning
• The growing suspicion around Amber and her increasingly desperate behaviour
• Predictions about whether we’ll finally learn who attacked George this week
• Neil and Susan’s ongoing attitude to George and Amber
• The Brookfield inheritance decision and why it’s left us furious
• Josh’s anger, disappointment and Brian Aldridge’s unexpected pep talk
• The future of Pip and Stella at Brookfield
• Valentine’s Day chaos at the Bull
• Fallon’s cutting put-down of Amber
• The horsebox hair salon plan and whether it makes any sense
• Star and Twit of the Week
• Listener theories and predictions

• A bonus audio-only Q&A episode with Holly Chapman (Alice Carter), featuring questions from the All About The Archers Facebook group, coming this Saturday.

Philippa and Katie return to unpack another unusually tense week in Ambridge, featuring questionable behaviour, unexpected reactions and at least one moment that really should have come with a health warning.

This episode covers:

• A week where almost everyone seems slightly off-key
• Shifting sympathies and some surprising stand-out performances
• Relationship dynamics that raise more questions than answers
• Why “adequately sterilised” has become a phrase none of us asked for but won’t forget
• Listener favourites, frustrations, predictions and the weekly verdict on who’s shining — and who really isn’t

As ever, opinions are strong, patience is limited, and Ambridge somehow manages to be both comforting and completely baffling at the same time.

Monday & Tuesday episodes up to 3/2/26.
