Think it also bodes very well for Dave Payne now being a scriptwriter (next weeks 'Real' The Archers his first week, seemingly)

But we have had two occasions where we seemed to be on the brink of hearing from her - but nothing. The writers teasing us.

Twelve credits for Nicolette Gorton as Elizabeth in 1982 / 1983. I vaguely remember her (as Lizzie) playing the cello, I think it was. genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?...

Katie Hims.

Thanks! Matt and Amy I vaguely remember, not so much Keith and Donna... #thearchers

Clive was in AmEx? I've forgotten that, and pretty sure I heard all of them. Any memories of the story he was involved in? #thearchers

Just noticed, that cast list above has the *original* Rich, before he was re-written and turned into Johnny, and before he sailed off round the world with Kathy Perks.**

**or whatever it was #TheArchers

According to BBC Genome, November 2011 was the last time Alex Jones was heard as Clive.
