82. Fashion and body image with Susan and Tracy

The Archers Podcast

Available for over a year

This week, Emma is considering the wellbeing and body image of Ambridge's residents. Behavioural psychologist Fiona Gillison considers whether Susan and Tracy are helping or hindering Bert Horrobin's journey to better health. And does Ambridge have an issue with obesity? Charlotte Martin, who plays Susan, and Susie Riddell, who plays Tracy, consider what their characters might look like. Journalist India Knight has strong opinions in this department, and shares who she thinks is Ambridge's most stylish resident, and who, in her mind, is the best looking. The guests compete in a quiz to work out Who Wore What - which villager came home from a festival with an eyebrow piercing, and who owns a leopard print hat?
