The Plarchers Does Calendar Girls

Archers fans are famously resistant to pictures of the cast. But when it comes to The Plarchers - who tweet the week's action from Ambridge [nearly] every Sunday - an exception is made... Here's their take on Lynda's Calendar Girls [which is currently available to listen and download].

Mere hours before curtain-up... If the old adage that a bad dress rehearsal means a good first night, Calendar Girls looked set to be a triumph...

However, Lynda feared that the dieux du theatre might have been pushed a step too far this time...

But, the show went on! Including the moment we'd all been waiting for (particularly Toby Fairbrother and his busload of rugby mates).

Behind-the-scenes there was discontent - Jean Harvey had been hogging the limelight. And Lilian was NOT best pleased.

Jean Harvey had also ordered that the entire set be rebuilt - insisting that Toby Fairbrother had gotten somewhat more than he'd paid for.

But the question remained... how do you solve a problem like Jean Harvey?

Ultimately, the cast resisted the temptation to wreak vengeance. But Neil did end up in a compromising position with Kirsty... to Susan's chagrin.
