Radio Times are celebrating the best of TV, radio and books with a host of stars and TV insiders appearing on The Green at Hampton Court Palace for the Radio Times Festival. Every ticket includes access to gourmet food stalls, a shopping village, free events and screenings. Almost sixty-five years after the first official episode played out on the BBC Home Service, The Archers is now approaching its 18,000th episode. The show’s editor, Sean O’Connor, will take us behind the scenes of the world’s longest-running radio soap, and will be joined by Charles Collingwood (Brian Aldridge), Carole Boyd (Lynda Snell), Louiza Patikas (Helen Archer) and Timothy Watson (Rob Titchener). Chaired by Eddie Mair. Should be an interesting insight into the world of radio's most-loved show. Under 5 years go free, but must be seated on parents lap. Over 16s must purchase an adult ticket.
