Roy Barraclough Radio Plays

ROY BARRACLOUGH, MBE

(12 July 1935 – 1 June 2017)

Although Roy Barraclough would have been most well known for his television, film and stage rôles he did a lot of work for radio. His radio work does not seem to be have been mentioned in the published obituaries. I consider him to be a particularly excellent radio actor. This is possibly because he excelled in and loved doing repertory theatre work.
