1 September – 11 October

In a cold British December in 1950, producer Godfrey Baseley assembled a group of actors in a studio above a used car showroom in Birmingham, to record the first ever episode of The Archers. Now, the ‘everyday story of country folk’ remains a proud staple of British pop culture and is one of the BBC’s top on-demand programmes on BBC Sounds. 

Haywire is a fond and funny celebration of one of British media’s most enduring creations, paired with a deep affection for the craft of radio. 

It is a love letter to The Archers and the minds that created it – an exclusive invitation to experience the tears and laughter, the triumphs and calamities, that can happen both in front of and behind the mic.
