In this extract from the National Trust Theatre at BBC Countryfile Live 2019, we join Charlotte Smith in conversation with Tim Bentinck aka The Archers’ David Archer and Sarah Swaddling the show’s Agricultural Adviser. They discuss organic farming, the broad appeal of the show and why yogurt and ironing boards are an essential part of the Archers’ sound design.
