What makes a great story for our hit podcast?

Strange but true crime?

Well, it's got to have a brazen criminal.

The maximum penalty for this is life in prison.

Incredible plot twists.

He started telling me about local village, hit men.

And one of our super knowledgeable reporters sharing all the scandalous details.

You hear a car, that's not abnormal.

And then you hear a chainsaw going up against the wooden door.

Sound like your thing?

Strange but true crime.

With me, Rima Ahmed.

Listen first on BBC Sounds.

You're listening to Wednesday's episode of The Archers from BBC Radio 4. Well, that's a bit off the wall. What made you think of me, Tom?

Well, we didn't at first, but when he came into the farm shop yesterday.

A blinding light went on. Yeah, something like that. So, Mick, would you help out a bridge farm while we're away? Well, you know, I'm not a farmer, right? Well, you don't have to be. Not for this. No, just keep the deliveries going, pack up the veg boxes, bag with sprouts. It's not specialist work. But really important work. And not full time. Whatever hours you can spare from your job at Great Gables. Yep, and we pay you properly. And you'd be brilliant at it. You think? We wouldn't ask otherwise. You'd be really helping us. Well, I could try, I suppose. What a neighbour's for. Oh, amazing. Thank you so much. Come over whenever you're free and I can show you what needs doing. Well, I'm off today, actually. Late shift last night. I should have bought some of your parking yesterday. I was starving at 2 a.m. Well, I'll give you some to try. Free parking. Now you're talking my language. All right, I'll drop over to Bridge Farm after lunch. Perfect, Mick. Thank

you. I'll maybe see you at the bumfire on the green tonight. Natasha and I will be there

with the girls. Yep, Henry's going with Khalil. Jack and I haven't decided yet. Joy's doing the food

for the beer tent as Fallons away. Oh, a filled Yorkshire's with a bonfire night twist.

Ooh, lovely. What's a bonfire night twist? She won't tell me. But I like bonfire night, always have. It's not being a kid again, right? Exactly. As a child, I was never quite sure whether we were celebrating that Guy Fawkes was stopped from blowing up Parliament or celebrating the fact he had a good try. Stopped, obviously.

Yeah, I know that now.
