I'm now a regular listener and my Archers 'claim to fame' is that I know the actor who plays Jack Woolley (stage name 'Arnold Peters'). He lives in my home town of Wellingborough (also home of snooker player Peter Ebdon) and used to run the local youth club when I was a teenager.

When I was applying to Universities and needed to visit Birmingham he gave me a lift up on his way to a rehearsal. After my interview I met him at the Pebble Mill studios (where it was recorded at the time) and got a guided tour of the studio, met the actors and sat in on some recording. Very interesting! Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't really listen to the program, so I can't remember exactly who I did meet. I can't remember if he was playing Jack Woolley then, as I know he appeared as another character Archers some years before taking on the JW role.
