Moira Hancock @moirahancock.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Very sad to see that Patricia Greene died. Her commitment to being Jill Archer for 68 years is incredible. I’m also touched by the BBC’s commitment to her by accommodating recordings despite the challenges of living in a care home and macular degeneration. This seems to be the norm for the Archers. 010 0
