Archers actors doing non-archer things?...

[SurferRona]

So, DP and I were in our local Odeon the other day, and I reckon the voiceover bloke telling us to turn off phones, sit back and enjoy the film was only Roy Bloody Tucker! I think. I'm fairly sure....Any MNetters heard him too? I heard spotted Joe Grundy being in Wallis and Gromit's The Wererabbit (basically played a plasticine Joe Grundy, so a BIG clue there). Any other Archer actors spotted acting elsewhere?

Many of the actors play other roles - very interesting when you see them on TV, generally I recognise the voice. David, Kirsty, Oliver and new Tony are often around. I'm listening to the Radio 4 extra serialisation of 'South Riding' which is on now but first broadcast 1999 - Carole Boyd (Lynda Snell) plays Mrs Beddows and I've just heard a definite sniff!

Helen (Louiza Patikas) is in Coronation St at the moment.

Susan Carter is a research psychologist

Tamsin Grieg, Lucy Davies...,

Anisha was in Ackley Bridge on C4 recently.

I teach EFL and the listening exercises are often voiced by Archers' actors, especially Elizabeth and Brian.

(Listening exercises in the course books!)

Ian was in The Old Vic Glenda Jackson production of King Lear last year. The part was unnamed but a speaking part. The minute he opened his mouth I thought "Ian !"

Could swear I heard Rob Titchner in Midsomer Murders the other day.

David Archer was in Fantastic Beasts.

Anisha was in Line of Duty earlier this year. The new Chris was in Game of Thrones (Rhaegar in flashback).

David reads the Audible productions of Tad Williams' Memory, Thorn and Sorrow fantasy novels.
Excellent narration too but I found it very unnerving at first.

And Our Emmur the First is now a Hollywood star

Roy Tucker owns a nice pub irl.

I have been in, and made DH sit in silence, for a while, so I could listen out for him . He wasn't there.

Woods.

Is it called something Archers related?

David was in The Thick of it which was disconcerting.

Dr Locke left Ambridge and went to Silent Witness (before coming back again last year).

Not quite the same, but Eleanor Bron (Carol), Simon Williams (Justin) and David Troughton (new Tony) were all very well known before arriving in TA.

Ruth (Felicity Finch) often presents R4 documentary programmes in her normal voice, which is far more attractive than Ruth's shrill tones.

Souad Faress (Usha) has also done lots of acting in other things, including Game of Thrones (she was a Dothraki matriarch, I think).

Andrew Wincott (Adam) is in Clare in the Community as Clare's husband's teacher friend (Simon?). Completely unrecognisable!

Old Pip was in Raised by Wolves and also in Upstart Crow. Rob Titchner is a voice in the PC game Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

That's all I know.

Gasp

so shocked I missed its Adam in Claire in community......always knew he was familiar.....couldn't place him

Anisha was also in that other drama this year the name of which escapes me but Appleyard Row or something like that?

Timothy Bentinck used to do the Picadilly line 'mind the gap'. He's also an Earl.

'Ruth' and 'Emma' on 'Pointless Celebrities' now!

Robert Snell is a real live GP: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/mar/31/surrey-gp-reveals-archers-character-robert-snell-graham-blockey

(Photo of actor in link, for those who don't like that kind of thing).

David Archer was an MP in The Thick of It.

...I obviously mean Timothy Bendinck!

Tony Archer was in a film set in Somerset called The Levelling, a very dark, depressing film but very good!
