Archers actors record at home during the coronavirus pandemic

Archers actors are recording the programme from the comfort of their own homes while guidance on safe social distancing prevents any work in the Archers studio in Birmingham.

The first episodes recorded in this way will be broadcast from Monday 25 May.

Charlotte Martin recording The Archers at home

Charlotte Martin explains how she's playing Susan Carter in The Archers from her home.

The Archers - Harry Potter style!

Tim Bentinck records as David Archer from under his stairs.

Susie Riddell playing the part of Tracy Horrobin.

Taking home-crafting to a new level, Susie's made her own red recording sign and 'green light' to recreate the feeling of being in the studio.

Barry Farrimond ready to record as Ed Grundy.

Is Barry a master at multi-tasking, acting while also doing some household chores, or will we be hearing Ed getting to grips with ironing?

Harrison Burns goes undercover!

James Cartwright in position for his latest episodes of The Archers. The blanket helps to reduce any echo or extraneous noise on the recording.

Ben Norris set up to play Ben Archer. Hopefully he can get out of there once the recording's done?
