Philheybrookbay1 243 Posted December 23, 2023 That's a heck of a loss with Roy Tucker. Was the bad boy of Ambridge in his youth but grew into a likeable character. Guess he'll move to Birmingham to be with Mike Tucker his Dad I guess? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have done a little research and found nothing.Anyone know the answer? IMDB is now claiming Pamela Mant died on 13th October 2022 in USA. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,325 Posted June 27 Just noticed that Phil Molloy, who plays Will Grundy, has now been on The Archers for 35 years. That's a fairly brief tenure for an Archers actor, but given he is still only 43 and has stated his intention to stay on the programme "until I die", then he may go on to break all sorts of acting longevity records. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,325 Posted July 29 A rare appearance this week from Patricia Greene (93) as Jill in the Archers. Apparently she is almost completely blind, very deaf and the word is her scene was recorded in the care home where she has lived for some time. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It must be fairly hard to record radio when you are very deaf, let alone nearly blind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,325 Posted Friday at 06:46 Bert Horrabin is featuring prominently as a silent character at the moment and I would think is going to be killed off shortly. He used to be played by Martyn Read, who died in 2022. Apparently he also appeared in something called Star Wars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimgrass 505 Posted Friday at 07:17 Recent article about Lesley Saweard: https://www.lincolnshireworld.com/news/people/star-of-the-archers-soap-is-now-a-talking-newspaper-volunteer-in-louth-at-age-of-90-4747311 She is now a talking newspaper volunteer. There's a picture on the article, looks ok to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
