80. Lilian and Life-Saving Archers Storylines
Emma Freud meets Julia Evans, who recognised she had sepsis after hearing Nic Grundy's storyline. After Brian's disclosure, we discuss why Lilian is a good confidante.
Emma Freud catches up with Lilian Bellamy, played by Sunny Ormonde, newly trusted with the truth about what happened on New Year's Eve.
We hear from listeners who have been helped through times of illness or difficulty by The Archers. Why are the residents of Ambridge generally 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 Grundy's sepsis - and hear from Julia Evans, who recognised she had sepsis after hearing Nic's storyline. She believes it was a life-saving broadcast.
What makes Lilian so approachable? Writer Claire Cohen and actress Sunny Ormonde discuss why Lilian has become the confidante for so many in Ambridge.
