80. Lilian and lifesaving Archers storylines

Available for over a year

This week, Emma Freud catches up with Lilian Bellamy, played by Sunny Ormonde. They meet Julia Evans, who recognised she had sepsis after hearing Nic Grundy's storyline. We hear from listeners who have been helped through times of illness or difficulty by The Archers. Why are the residents of Ambridge in such good health, and can we cope when they aren't? We revisit Ruth's breast cancer, Jack Woolley's Alzheimer's and Nic's sepsis. What makes Lilian so approachable? Writer Claire Cohen and actress Sunny Ormonde discuss why Lilian has become the confidante for everyone in Ambridge.
