Atching Tan Series 03
Series 3 is a prequel to the previous 2 series. Lovvie marries Nelius against her parents wishes. Find out what Lovvies family do and how she deals with it.
Writer Dan Allum takes us to the heart of a Traveller site, allowing the listener a real insider look at a community which is often inaccurately or unfavourably represented in dramatic media. The real sounds and vibrancy of that world filter into the drama as the backdrop to Lovvie’s dilemma.
The series is being broadcast on BBC Local Radio in the East including BBC Three Counties, BBC Essex, BBC Suffolk, BBC Norfolk, BBC Cambridgeshire and BBC Northamptonshire.
If you are unable to tune in you can listen again on BBC Radio Suffolk every Monday and Tuesday during October on the Lesley Dolphin show – just click on this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_suffolk
