ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Available for over a year

After another triumphant Ambridge village fete, Emma Freud is joined by the organisational supremo Lynda Snell - played by Carole Boyd - and Tracy Horrobin - played by Susie Riddell - along with young farmer and former Great British Bake Off contestant Mike Wilkins, who also recently co-presented ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Farmwatch. They revisit some of the most memorable, comic and romantic fetes over the decades, including Nigel's bungee jump, the revelatory wife-carrying race of 2003 and - perhaps most romantic of all - the fete of 1957. It was opened by jazz star Humphrey Lyttelton, and the young widower Phil Archer captured the occasion on cine film, with a notable focus on a striking young woman in a yellow dress - his future wife Jill. Emma also hosts a fete quiz, including questions about celebrity guests, animals and games - so who competed with a dancing dog called Anton du Bark? And who won a piglet - which eventually led to marriage? Presenter Emma Freud Producer Jessica Bunch WhatsApp us on 08000 289 044 Email us thearcherspodcast@bbc.co.uk
