      Has Alvar Lidell been mentioned? It seems that he retired as a newsreader in 1969, but I remember hearing him in Façade with Walton conducting around that time or slightly later - on the greatly missed West Pier at Brighton.

        Then she really will pass me by. A childhood of being "shushed" by my father made me resolve never to listen to this endless boredom again (in about 1964).

          It's good to see the 'early retired' ladies of the R4 newsroom being employed elsewhere. Alice Arnold is now a very bubbly newspaper reviewer on Sky News (where Petroc T really has got his feet under the table.)

                  Two people have got in before me. I was going to say Alan Rickman - particularly as the oleaginous Obadiah Slope in Barchester Towers.
                  Clive Swift.
                  It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                          Shared some English seminars at University with her, and when she read from Shakespeare it was an absolute joy to listen to.
