BBC Radio 4 - Icklewick FM, 3. The Festival

Icklewick FM are on the scene for the 233rd Icklewick Agricultural Festival.

The Icklewick FM team are on the scene for the 233rd Agricultural Festival. Featuring all the highlights from the Piglet Dressage to some very special musical acts.

Amy and Chris are reporting all the action live from the 233rd Icklewick Agricultural Festival! As the festival’s newly crowned “Lady Muck”, Amy is preoccupied with her upcoming performance at the closing ceremony. Whilst first time camper, Chris is trying his best to embrace the countryside in all its beautiful, harrowing glory. Ever the renaissance man, Mr Patel has decided to try his hand at hospitality, which should be simple as long as his customers remember to eat around the teeth.

The extortionate cost of a festival pint sets Simon Toke spiraling but will he make it back in time to interview Toploader, and will Amy be able to overcome her nerves and save Icklewick from another year of blight? 

Mr. Patel has managed to get a special sponsor for this episode. ChemNice. Just nice chemicals. Nothing weird.
