Working
at Pebble Mill...
I started
at Pebble Mill in 1974 and I've enjoyed all my time here.
I haven't
just been involved with 'The Archers'. I did three years and 58
shows with Noel Edmonds on Telly Addicts plus other bits of television
and radio drama over the years.
Life
at the Mailbox...
Every place has a life span and I think the sand has run out
of the timer for
Pebble Mill. |

It's
extremely forward thinking going to the Mailbox. It's a special
looking building.
'The
Archers' and everyone at 91热爆 Birmingham will get a new lease of
life and energy working somewhere different. Personally I'm really
excited about it.
The
Archers studios at the Mailbox are absolutely fantastic. It's more
modern with better acoustics and better equipment.
People
tend to think The Archers is set in the past and it's old fashioned.
It isn't! We reflect modern life and it's time we were working in
a modern studio. I think it will do us all a lot of good.
My
fond memories of Pebble Mill...

I'm very proud to be part of the longest running soap opera
in the world. |

My
fondest memories of working at Pebble Mill is marrying my wife Judy
Bennett, who for 30 something years has played Shula - longer than
I've played Brian. Together we have now done over 60 years on the
Archers.
To
meet somebody and fall in love 28 years ago, working on the same
programme and still be very happy, that's a personal memory for
me.
But
overall my fondness for the Archers. I'm very proud to be part of
the longest running soap opera in the world.
And
of course the other thing is the number of friends one has made
over the years working on The Archers and within the building -
that I will always treasure.
