55. Mums, sons and the middle child with Ruth

Emma Freud gets to know Josh Archer, and talks about mothers and sons with Felicity Finch, who plays Ruth, Angus Imrie, who plays her son Josh and Archers fan Nell Frizzell.

Emma Freud finds out whether Josh Archer, played by Angus Imrie, is the archetypal middle child. Do Ruth and David prefer Josh's siblings?

They are joined by Felicity Finch, who plays Josh's mum Ruth, and author Nell Frizzell, to discuss the different approaches to parenthood in Ambridge, revisiting key scenes from Josh's upbringing, and examining how motherhood has changed with each generation.
