87. Martyn Gibson's mid-life crisis and dating disasters

Emma Freud meets Jonathan Glover, who plays Martyn Gibson, to unpick his midlife crisis and dating mishaps. We answer listener's questions about how language is used in Ambridge.

Emma Freud is joined by Jonathan Glover, who plays Martyn Gibson, farmer Mike Wilkins and Professor of Sociolinguistics Rob Drummond. Together, they find out more about the big bad BL board-member, from his unlikely friendships to his dating disasters. Can they make Martyn's dating profile more appealing?

Mike Wilkins, farmer and former Great British Bake Off contestant, gives his view on the latest drama to befall the Home Farm partnership.

Are Americanisms on the rise in Ambridge? Why does Stella sound so different from her brother Zak? How did Pat Archer come to lose her Welsh accent? Professor Rob Drummond answers listeners' questions about the language of Ambridge.
