Ambridge on the Couch
Lucy Freeman·Hosted by Lucy Freeman, Harriet and Mr Newbie·7 episodes
Ambridge on the Couch wrestles the characters from The Archers on to the therapist’s couch
Why listen
Ambridge on the Couch is for listeners who love The Archers but want to laugh, argue, and overanalyze the village drama with sharp company. Lucy Freeman, Harriet and Mr Newbie turn each episode into a comic therapy session for Ambridge's characters, mixing recap, running jokes, mock outrage, and affectionate fan commentary. It is especially good for Archers fans who enjoy irreverent British banter as much as plot analysis.
