Yes.
How did it go while he was away?
You must have missed him terribly.
And how did you and Roger get on when he came back from the war?
Because for a lot of couples, it was tricky to readjust.
I mean, you know, young women had had their freedom and had been living relatively independent lives.
How did both of you find it?
And what did he think of you maintaining your acting career?
Was he quite comfortable with that?
Let's have some more music then.

It's important to remember, June Spencer, of course, these days, The Archers is recorded and edited and it all sounds beautifully smooth, but when you were starting out in radio, it must all have been live, was it?
It was live, yes.
A bit nerve-wracking at times?
Great days, great fun.

You'd established yourself in the Archers as, first of all, of course, Peggy Archer.
You played a good few characters in the beginning as well.
