FANS of The Archers are in for a special treat this weekend.

The Radio 4 show's agriculture adviser and senior sound supervisor will be explaining some of the secrets as part of the Borderlines Film Festival.

Promoters promise history and up-to-the-minute gossip with the chance to act out an Ambridge fantasy.

The "Behind the Scenes at the Archers" event will also include two films about the show.

One was made by BBC1’s Countryfile series to mark the radio programme’s 60th anniversary last year, the second is Supper with the Archers, a curio made in 1963 for what was then the Milk Development Council (MDC) to promote milk and dairy products, featuring actors from the cast of that time.

The film was rescued by the Museum of English Rural Life in 1986 and is shown with their permission and that of the MDC’s successor DairyCo.

Ewyas Harold Memorial Hall and Bromyard's Conquest Theatre are the two venues for the Sunday shows.

Call 01885 488575 to book for Bromyard and 01432 340555 for Ewyas Harold.
