IAN BROOKER (WAYNE FOLEY) Ian comes from a theatrical family that first went on the stage in
the early eighteenth century. His most famous relatives were the
nineteenth century English playwright T.W. Robertson, and the actress
Dame Madge Kendal (played by Ann Bancroft in the film The Elephant Man). He has appeared in many plays for radio, including "The Wheatstone Pond" by Robert Westall, "As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning" by Laurie Lee, and "Oddballs" by the well-known and expert playwright Don Haworth.

Chris Everett adds:......Whilst reading the Archers page, I noticed you have missed a credit for Jack
May. He played Theoden (as only Jack May could with that wonderful voice)
in the 1981 radio serialisation of Lord of the Rings dramatised by Brian
Sibley and Michael Bakewell and produced and directed by Jane Morgan and
Penny Leicester. Whether you like Tolkien or not this has to have been one
of the most ambitious and successful radio dramatisations of all time. I
think it is a shame that the recent films did not maintain the some of the
same production values (music, songs, some casting, editing). Although the
visual effects were extremely good it is hard to make them match the power
of imagination - the strength of radio drama. Anyway, another credit for
Jack.....................thanks Chris..............N.D.......

ARCHERS NOTES
Clive Lever adds .... The Masters' India, part 2 - Night Runners of Bengal -
features Michael Cochrane, Souad Fares, Jumila Masih and
Carol Boyd. At the time, none of these had yet appeared on The Archers, but maybe this should go on the
Archers page, as the four eventually moved from Asia
to Ambridge.
John King adds.....Ann Cullen, who played Carol Tregorran (nee Grey), a major character in The Archers in the 50s
was heard on BBC7 this week (2 Aug 2007), in "Paul Temple and the Gilbert Case", first broadcast in 1954.
Clive Lever adds: .... Patricia Gallimore, Rosalind Adams and Carole Boyd have all enjoyed long-standing roles in both The Archers and Waggoner's Walk. Rosalind Adams has recently been replaced by Heather Bell, who appears in some of the other credits on this page. Heather was Rosalind Adams' predecessor and successor in the role of Clarrie Grundy.
Eric Allen, who also appears on this page, is the second actor to play the part of Bert Fry, taking over the part on the death of Roger Hume (co-writer of The Campden Wonder with Richard Derrington, a.k.a. Mark Hebden, first husband to Shula). Hume also appears in Mrs. M by David Campton, in the 1984 Spine Chillers series. In that production, five of the six actors would appear, were appearing or had appeared in The Archers.
It may be worth mentioning some Archers spin-offs .... Outpatient, by Rhys Adrian, with Margot Boyd; The Ambridge Chronicle, otherwise known as "To The Victor the Spoils") and the one starring Eddie Grundy's turkeys (Revenge of the Turkeys?). One might also add lists for John Rowe (Jim Lloyd, otherwise known as the Prof), Hugh Dickson (Guy Pemberton), Brian Hewlett (Neil Carter, who has acted in radio dramas for fifty years now - one of his first appearances was in Quo Vadis); Judy Bennett (who at one time or another has played three Archers siblings).
Honourable mention must go to the remake of Giles Cooper's Mathry Beacon, which boasts two Joe Grundys in its cast list! Norman Painting (who played Phil Archer) wrote for the series in the seventies under the name Bruno Milner; June Spencer (Peggy Woolley) wrote many of Cyril Fletcher's Odd Odes. You also have a writer's page for Alex Jones, who plays the notorious Clive Horrobin. Sudhar Bhuchar, who wrote the series 'girlies' was the first Usha Gupta.
Graham Harvey (who wrote 'A small plot of England) was the Archers' agricultural editor for some years; and several scriptwriters, including Louise Page, have written plays of their own.
Alistair Wyper adds:
