Recording Jack Woolley's birthday scenes

Who are these people? Looks like HRH & our old gardener?



And what are they doing in my parents front room circa 1962?

Thank you, Arnold Peters and June Spencer also the Archers production team behind last night's episode on 19th July, it moved me to tears almost.

It was acted very well.

The birthday scenes were very moving. The acting was spot-on - but it was only possible because of such sensitive writing. Well done Caroline. Not everyone could have pulled it off but you did.

Dull-Eyed-Llama, what you wrote might have been intended as humorous; it came across as patronising and offensive.

Totally with you on this dickie. Plumbs new depths of insensitivity.

An excellent scene, beautifully acted by both participants. What a beauty June Spencer is.....I would kill to have hair like hers.

It was poignant for those of us who have loved ones afflicted by dementia, the plot has been sensitively handled

Ace timing! So clever of you to broadcast this on the day of Rupert (pause) Murdoch's Commons Committee (long pause) appearance (long pause).

Please go easy on Dull-Eyed Llama. I really just think that he was trying to be mildly amusing and it certainly came across that way to me. Perhaps he was alluding to the way that we see character in our mind's eye and how the actors look in reality.

Than you Mr Taylor.



I am new here.



I try not to offend or cause upset but I am mystified by some of the sensitive souls here who are only to quick to throw offensive phrases if they see some twist (not implied ) that they do not like.



Yes I was alluding to my life images being systematically destroyed by the pictures. IMO the woman has a more than passing look of HRH, as does the man to our old gardener.



The wall paper was identical to that in my parents house, as was the piano.



I will never engage in slanging, just go away - So thanks again

Haven't heard the episode, but best wishes to June Spencer and especially Arnold Peters if he's not well. Their performances have been superb during the very moving Alzheimers storyline.

Thank you to 2 superb actors and congrats to all involved for a gripping, if harrowing story line.

Just read Comment 1. These 2 actors (and their on-air characters) are roughly of the Queen's generation so their idea of how their hair and clothes should look is probably similar to hers. They are older than you, Llama, so their tastes in decor would reflect that as well. Also they are two highly regarded, very professional actors. I wish I had even a little bit of their talent and hope I am as employable if/when I reach that age

I've been away and am working my way through the catch-up....I've just listend to Jack's birthday episode and wanted to say how lovely it was. Well done to all.

I love Peggy and think that June does an amazing job and looks absolutely fab, look at that gorgeous hair. And, for what it's worth, I think that Arnold has a perfectly lovely lounge, I'm quite jealous.

Dig that wallpaper. And it isn't HRH you mean, but HMQ. I thought the same. Wishing well to Arnold Peters & June Spencer.

Heartfelt thanks and warm wishes to Arnold Peters for his many years of support for the Youth Fellowship in my old home town.
