Mollie Harris was brought up in Oxfordshire and her books of reminiscences about life in the country are very popular. For the past thirteen years she has been a regular member of the cast of The Archers, in which she takes the part of Martha Woodford.
In conversation with Roy Plomley, she talks about her fascinating life and chooses the eight records she would take to the mythical island.
