Partners in Crime

I was the same with the uncle, kitty. At first I thought he was Pike (stupid boy) from Dad's Army but then realised he was the postman from Lark Rise to Candleford. I think he also did a very funny episode of Miranda playing a therapist or something.

Best known to me as Hugo Horton(sp) in The Vicar Of Dibley.

Me too, annsixty - the lovely Alice's admirer and, eventually, husband.

I love Gloomsbury as well, it's the funniest thing on radio.

Makes me want to visit 'Sizzlinghurst'

That episode of Miranda had me in tears!

Oh yes! I'd forgotten how good he was as Hugo Horton.

But, I don't think Hugo was in Lark Rise - that was someone - it was, you know, whatsisname!

You're right, kitty - Thomas Brown the postman in Lark Rise was played by Mark Heap.

Now I'm even more confused.

Aaaaaah. I'll go and google him.

It was Thomas Brown who played the postman, but he did look a bit like the actor that played Hugo IMO.

Sorry, I got that the wrong way round!!

No, Lona, Thomas Brown was the name of the postman!

Have I managed to everyone losing the plot now?

Gloomsbury is fabulously funny, the actors are just brilliant. I have requested the cd of the 3 series for my birthday from my DS.

Just listened to an episode I found [not sure why I can listen to some things on the pooter but not others ]. It's brilliant .
