Janice celebrates The Archers at 70, plus reviews of The Masked Singer and The Serpent

Janice celebrates The Archers' 70th anniversary with actor Susie Riddell, who has appeared in the show since childhood. Plus reviews of new Jenna Coleman thriller The Serpent.

The Archers celebrates its 70th anniversary on New Year's Day, by which time there will have been an incredible 19,343 episodes! Janice speaks to actor Susie Riddell, she currently plays Tracey Horrobin, but she first joined The Archers as a child actor age 11 to play Kate Aldridge.

And this week's Tuesday reviewers, author Andrew Meehan, broadcaster Bronwen Livingstone, and comedian Simon Caine tell us what they make of BBC One's eight-part drama The Serpent about conman and murderer Charles Sobhraj, Charlie Brooker's end-of-year satire Death to 2020, and Season 2 of colourful reality show The Masked Singer.

And there’s another chance to hear Janice's interviews with two women who published their memoirs this year: Skin, singer with Skunk Anansie, and former Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue Alexandra Shulman.
