Ellie Pawsey joins the BBC’s long-running radio soap The Archers as Esme Mulligan.

The Archers is the world’s longest-running radio drama, first broadcast on the BBC in 1951. Set in the fictional village of Ambridge, it follows the lives of farming families and their neighbours in rural England. Now a fixture of BBC Radio 4, the series blends everyday storytelling with contemporary issues and has become a beloved part of British cultural life.
