Paul Copley, who plays Leonard Berry, joins Emma to talk about his character, his later-life relationship with Jill Archer and how his own love of motorbikes made it into the scripts. Claudia Hammond, presenter of All In The Mind, considers mental health in Ambridge and the way The Archers explores difficult and sometimes upsetting issues, and Professor Rob Drummond from Manchester Metropolitan University talks accents in The Archers - what do we learn from the way that characters speak?
