Archers highlights
When Chris got rid of his "posh" girlfriend Venetia I really felt for him. She had insulted his mum. While Chris would be the first to complain about Susan, when somebody else did the same he got very protective of her. Bless him.
I also enjoyed the shenanigans at the Bestival music festival, although I would have preferred it if it was on location!
Other Career highlights
With the National Youth Theatre I performed at Trafalgar Square in front of about 10,000 people. We felt like rock stars and I thought to myself "I could get used to this!"
Will's view of Chris Carter
I really like him. But I guess I'm biased! He has to put up with a lot, especially from his mum, but he seems to take it in his stride. He loves horses too. I don't really share this with him!
Favourite...
Would still like to…
headline Glastonbury, that'd be nice!
