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.
