We are thrilled to welcome Mark Bonnar to All About The Archers to talk about his arrival in Ambridge as Scottish crofter Finlay. Mark chats about joining The Archers for its 75th anniversary, whether Finlay could ever return, what he really thinks of Helen, and why Finlay’s croft is absolutely non-negotiable. We also discuss Celebrity Traitors, returning to Line of Duty as Mike Dryden, his upcoming drama The Siege, radio acting, Big Finish, Shetland, cheese, swooning listeners and the vital question: what biscuit would Finlay eat while hiding from Helen?
