Strange Archer's Factoid !

[mikey4444]

I have just found out that the new actor playing Tom Archer is William Troughton and his real-life father David Troughton is the relatively new actor that is playing his on radio father Tony Archer !

I wonder if the late Patrick Troughton is related, he played the 2nd Doctor Who.

Patrick was David's father

Yes, thanks Jno ,he was always my favourite of all the Doctor Whos.

My second favourite whirly...after William Hartnell. I can remember the very first episode of the Doctor Who !

DT is my joint first with Jon Pertwee. I'm not casting aspersions because these things happen, but isn't it amazing that they are father and son.
Thanks to all who enabled me to listen to 'Blithe Spirit', by the way - amazing technology they have at Ambridge Village hall - and Mr. Snell is pretty good with his sound effects! Very enjoyable.

jourdain2...I really enjoyed the play this afternoon !

In deference to those amongst us that partake of the Sunday morning omnibus edition, I had better not make too much reference to tonight's episode, but suffice to say... awfully good news !

Bouquets to all the cast of "Blithe Spirit", well done.

Haven't listened yet but I bet that I can guess what the "awfully good news" is!

So can I - Sunday morning can't come quickly enough.
