Archers actors doing non-archer things?...

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?

Did anyone listen to Saturday Live this weekend? Timothy Bendinck was a guest and was talking about his upcoming autobiography. Very interesting!

Was that David as the Brigadier in The Last Post on Sunday?

Do some of them play double roles in the Archers?

Lynda Snell does the voices in Postman Pat. I thought I was going mad with the sleep deprivation but it's true.

It was ceto I told DH to close his eyes and identify him. He hates me pointing out actor doing different things. Wink

I just saw the actor who PLAYED Nigel in Midsummer Murders last weekend! He played a snobby golfer. I'm not sure how old the episode was, he definitely looked older than when he was in Dinner Ladies!

YES, @JessieMcJessie! I thought I was going mad hearing Helen's voice in the doctor's surgery in Corrie. I'm really enjoying her in that!

On the other hand, Kate Aldridge could be in EastEnders as long as she likes but to me she will always be Joe McGann's daughter in The Upper Hand .

ppeatfruit · 14/11/2017 10:02

She was good in that (shows age too Hebe Grin ) I think the 'new' Kate is good though I never noticed the change!

I keep wondering if Matt Crawford is doing the biker baby voice on the latest Fairy dishwasher tablet adverts?

confusedandemployed · 21/11/2017 08:10

Matt Crawford was an old lag in an episode of New Tricks. Much skinnier IRL! As soon as I heard the voice I knew it was him.

I remember seeing (hearing!) David Archer in The Thick of it and was really weirded out.

I'm also utterly convinced that Linda Snell voiced a shopkeeper in old Patman Pat.

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

What! Nooo! Can't be... blooming heck! He's a better actor than I gave him credit for.

ppeatfruit · 21/11/2017 10:49

She did Trampire She was Mrs Goggins!

I remember her in something else (not voiceover) In a really stupid children's series with the (sorry) I hate to even write this; the chuckle brothers. I think it was.!

Butteredparsn1ps · 21/11/2017 10:57

Shula - does lots of voice over work for children's TV IIRC and YY to Carol Boyd in postman pat. sniff.

I used to teach resuscitation, through the British Heart Foundation and I was always convinced that the film we showed of an old lady with chest pains, starred Peggy Wooley/June Spencer.

Ceto · 12/12/2017 11:06

David has turned up again as a witness in the Crown Court revival on ITV. That in itself is a blast from the past, we're back in Fulchester Crown Court - anyone remember that from decades ago?

David plays someone whose daughter has (possibly) been murdered. Any chance of the TA scriptwriters picking up some ideas?

Bobbins43 · 12/12/2017 11:09

Tony Archer is also the son of the second Doctor Who, Patrick Troughton.

pigshavecurlytails · 26/02/2018 12:21

Kate was in the upper hand? I loved thst show!

Felicity Jones was Emma until 2009, which made for a peculiar culture clash watching her in the Star Wars movie Rogue One.
