Patricia Gallimore won the Carleton Hobbs award in 1965 from the Birmingham School of Speech and Drama, and her career began with a six month contract with the 91热爆 Radio Drama Company.

She remained in London for the following eight years, working mainly in radio. She played leading roles in many classic serials and plays for 91热爆 Radio, and did another two year contract with the 91热爆 Radio Drama Company. She was also a regular character in Radio 2鈥檚 Waggoner鈥檚 Walk.

In 1973 she married Charles Gardner, a lawyer based in Birmingham, and returned to the Midlands to live in Warwickshire.

In 1974 she joined the cast of The Archers and later the same year Pat Lewis became Mrs Tony Archer.

As well as The Archers she continued to work regularly in radio and other audio work, with occasional TV appearances. In the early 90s she began recording audio books for several different companies and has now notched up over 200 unabridged audio books.

Pat and Tony converting Bridge Farm to organics. It led to my going to many events and getting to know real life organic farmers and producers, many of whom have remained good friends.

It also led in 2000 to my book Patricia Gallimore鈥檚 Organic Year. The research included visits to both Highgrove and HRH The Prince of Wales鈥檚 Duchy 91热爆 Farm, as well as many other beautiful farms and gardens throughout the UK.

Getting asked to record my first audio book was a big turning point. I love the variety and scope an actor gets with the many and varied titles we are asked to record. In 2008 I won an Earphones Excellence award for recording Queen Camilla by Sue Townsend.

Favourite radio roles have included Fleur in The Forsyte Saga and Flora in Cold Comfort Farm.

• Actor - Judi Dench. She鈥檚 just astonishingly good.
• Book - Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I can re-read it and always recapture its magic.
• Film - Gone with the Wind. Four hours of absolute escapist indulgence and romance.
