Thelma Barlow (born Thelma Pigott; on 19 June 1929) is an English television actress and writer, most famous for her roles as Mavis Wilton in the long-running ITV soap opera ''Coronation Street'' and as Dolly Bellfield in the sitcom ''Dinnerladies''.

Early life

Thelma Barlow was born in Middlesbrough, North Riding of Yorkshire in 1929, the younger of two daughters. Her father Tommy, a cabinet maker, died of pneumonia five weeks before her birth, so Barlow was brought up by her mother Margaret. During her childhood, the family moved to Huddersfield and Thelma Barlow left school at 15 and went to Huddersfield Technical College to study shorthand and typing. Her first job, as a secretary, she held for eight years and at the same time belonged to an amateur dramatics group. Barlow decided to take up acting professionally and joined the Joan Littlewood Theatre Group. During the 1950s, she did rep in Liverpool, Nottingham and Birmingham. In 1960, Barlow joined the West of England Theatre Company followed by the Bristol Old Vic Theatre Company. In Bristol, she ran a boarding house for fellow actors. In 1956 she married set designer Graham Barlow, and they had two children, Clive and James. They later divorced.

Television work

Thelma Barlow's first television appearance was in 1970 in ''A Stranger on the Hill''. The following year while performing in Liverpool, she was asked to audition for the soap opera ''Coronation Street'' for the role of Mavis Riley. She was successful and her first episode was transmitted on 14 August 1971, though the character only appeared regularly from 1973, when she joined the staff of "The Kabin". Barlow remained in the series for 26 years, and nearly 2,000 episodes, until she left after the departure of her on-screen husband Derek. Her final episode went out on 10 October 1997 when Mavis moved to the Lake District. During her time on ''Coronation Street'' Barlow shared a flat with co-star Helen Worth and later moved to Settle, where she later did a TV show from her garden.

Barlow's final appearance on the Street was quite odd, given her loyalty to the show. Her departure was not at the end of the episode (as would befit a 26 year stint) - the last time we saw Mavis in the street was the finale to Part One of that evening's episode (in other words, her departure from Weatherfield took the audience into the ad break, not the end of the episode).

Barlow's next major role was that of Dolly Bellfield in Victoria Wood's sitcom ''dinnerladies''. This comedy lasted for two series in 1998 to 2000. Around the same time she appeared in ''Murder Most Horrid'' (1999) and ''David Copperfield'' (also 1999). Since then Thelma Barlow has appeared as one-off characters in several television shows, including ''Fat Friends'' (2000), ''Doctors'' (2002), ''The Royal'' (2004), ''Where the Heart Is'' (1997), ''My Dad's the Prime Minister'' (also 2004), ''Marple'' (2006) and the ''Midsomer Murders'' episode "Last Year's Model" (also 2006). In 2005 she appeared in her first film ''Mrs Henderson Presents'' and in 2007 she played Lady Thaw in the ''Doctor Who'' episode "The Lazarus Experiment". She also appeared in a 2008 episode of Doc Martin For her role in ''Mrs Henderson Presents'' she was nominated for "Most Promising Newcomer" in the British Independent Film Awards 2005. Since her departure from ''Coronation Street'' Barlow has also made stage appearances, with roles such as Madame Arcati in ''Blithe Spirit'', Mam in Alan Bennett's ''Enjoy'' and as Abby Brewster in ''Arsenic and Old Lace'' in 2003 on the West End stage. Barlow has also acted on radio. In 2003, she moved to the Isle of Purbeck.

Barlow has also written a book about her hobby, organic gardening, first published by Robson Books as ''Organic Gardening with Love'' (1992) and re-issued in paperback under the title ''Gardening Nature's Way'' (ISBN 978-1861053312).

David Graeme Garden OBE (born 18 February 1943) is a Scottish author, actor, comedian, artist and television presenter, who first became known as a member of The Goodies.

Early life and beginnings in comedy

Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, he grew up in Preston. Garden was educated at Repton School, and studied medicine at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he joined the prestigious Cambridge University Footlights Club (of which he became President in 1964), and performed with the 1964 Footlights revue, ''Stuff What Dreams Are Made Of'' at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Garden qualified in medicine at King's College London, but has never practised. Asked how he justified making jokes rather than saving lives, he answered:

}}

Garden and Bill Oddie co-wrote many episodes of the television comedy series ''Doctor in the House'', including most of the first season episodes of the series and all of the second season episodes, as well as co-writing episodes of the subsequent ''Doctor at Large'' and ''Doctor in Charge'' series. Later, Garden also wrote for ''Surgical Spirit'' (1994). Graeme Garden has also presented three series of the BBC's health magazine ''Bodymatters''.

Garden was co-writer and performer in the classic BBC radio comedy show, ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'' (ISIRTA) (1965–1970, and 1973). Garden was studying medicine during the early seasons of ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'', and this commitment made it difficult for him to be a member of the cast during the third season because of a midwifery medical course in Plymouth. However, he kept on sending scripts for the radio show by mail – and rejoined the cast of ISIRTA upon his return to his medical studies in London. On several occasions his medical qualifications are lampooned; in the 25th Anniversary Show, David Hatch asks him if he's still a writer. Garden: "Here's something I wrote this morning". Hatch: "It's a prescription". "Yes," says Garden, "but it's a funny one...".

On television Graeme Garden was co-writer and performer in the comedy series ''Twice a Fortnight'' with Bill Oddie, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Jonathan Lynn.

Later, he was co-writer and performer in the comedy series ''Broaden Your Mind'' with Tim Brooke-Taylor (Bill Oddie joined the series for the second season).

1970s and ''The Goodies''

Garden, along with Tim Brooke-Taylor and Bill Oddie, became a co-writer and performer in the comedy series ''The Goodies'' (1970–1982). Later, he was the voice of the title character in ''Bananaman'' (1983), in addition to General Blight and Maurice of the Heavy Mob in the children's animated television comedy series, which also featured the rest of the Goodies team. The series parodied comic book super-heroes.

With Tim Brooke-Taylor and Bill Oddie, Garden appeared in the Amnesty International show ''A Poke In The Eye (With A Sharp Stick)'' (during which they sang their hit song "Funky Gibbon").

In 1982 Garden and Oddie wrote, but did not perform in, a 6-part science fiction sitcom called ''Astronauts'' for Central and ITV. The show was set in an international space station in the near future.

''I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue''

Graeme Garden is a permanent panellist on the long-running BBC Radio improvisation show ''I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'' (ISIHAC) in a cast which includes Tim Brooke-Taylor. He also stars in and co-writes ''You'll Have Had Your Tea'', a direct spin-off of ISIHAC, and has contributed to several books from the series including guides to the game Mornington Crescent.

Stage appearances

Garden has a successful stage career, and has acted in several National Theatre productions, as well as London's West End. He has also acted in several BBC Radio 4 comedy drama series, and television drama including ''Peak Practice'' and ''Holby City''. He appeared in ''Bang-Bang-a-Boom!'', a spin off audio drama based on the BBC science fiction television series ''Doctor Who'' by Big Finish Productions. Garden appeared with Tim Brooke-Taylor in the theatre production ''The Unvarnished Truth''.

Garden wrote a play called The Pocket Orchestra which ran in London from 26 April 2006 till 20 May 2006.

Other roles

Garden appeared in the political sitcom, ''Yes Minister'' in the role of Commander Forrest of the Special Branch in the episode ''The Death List'', as well as appearing as a Television Presenter in the ''Doctor in the House'' episode, ''Doctor on the Box''.

He was a regular team captain on the political satire game show ''If I Ruled the World''. Brooke-Taylor appeared as a guest in one episode, and during the game "I Couldn't Disagree More" he proposed that it was high time ''The Goodies'' episodes were repeated. Garden was obliged by the rules of the game to refute this statement, and replied, "I couldn't disagree more... it was time to repeat them ten, fifteen years ago."

Garden wrote for and appeared with Barry Cryer and Alison Steadman in the 1989 BBC radio comedy sketch show ''The Long Hot Satsuma''. In 2001 and 2002, Garden wrote for and appeared in the BBC radio comedy sketch show The Right Time, along with Eleanor Bron, Paula Wilcox, Clive Swift, Roger Blake, and Neil Innes. He was also script editor for ''The Hudson and Pepperdine Show''.

In 2004, Garden and Brooke-Taylor were co-presenters of Channel 4's daytime game show ''Beat the Nation'', in which they indulged in usual game show "banter", but took the quiz itself seriously. It was notable for its use of a "laugh track" instead of a studio audience, unusual for a quiz show.

Graeme Garden also writes and directs for the corporate video company Video Arts, famous for its training films starring John Cleese.

Garden is chair of the spoof radio game show ''Beat The Kids''. He has also appeared on the UK version of the television series ''Whose Line Is It Anyway?'', which has a similar format. He was a co-writer of the BBC Radio 4 comedy ''Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off''.

Recent appearances

Garden has hosted the quiz game ''Tell the Truth'' and presented a series of history programmes, ''A Sense of the Past'' for Yorkshire Television.

Graeme Garden's voice was featured in the irreverent animated comedy series about a horrifically bad London comprehensive high school, ''Bromwell High'' beginning in 2006.

In June 2006, Garden became a panellist on the new BBC Radio 4 comedy quiz show, ''The Unbelievable Truth'' (which he co-devised), starring, among others, Jeremy Hardy and Andy Hamilton.

In August 2006, Garden and Brooke-Taylor joined up to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe in a show which looked back with some nostalgia to their work with the Goodies and in light entertainment.

He also appeared on the comedy quiz show ''QI'' in November 2006.

In 2003, Garden wrote the Radio 4 series ''About a Dog'', based on an original idea by Debbie Barham, with a second series in 2007.

Garden has appeared in two of Big Finish's ''Doctor Who'' audio dramas playing a parodic character. In ''Bang-Bang-a-Boom!'' he plays Professor Fassbinder, a parody of Victor Bergman in ''Space: 1999''. In ''Max Warp'' he plays TV presenter Geoffrey Vantage, parodying ''Top Gear'' presenter Jeremy Clarkson (this episode broadcast on BBC Radio 7 on 26 October 2008). He also plays Abbot Thelonious in the Eighth Doctor audio play The Book of Kells in 2010, and subsequently returns as a recurring antagonist to the Eighth Doctor.

Personal life and family

Graeme Garden is married to Emma and they have a son, Tom. Garden also has a daughter, Sally, and a son, John, from his previous marriage to Mary Elizabeth Wheatley Grice. His son John Garden is the keyboardist for the music group Scissor Sisters, and shares songwriting credit on their 2006 album.

Graeme Garden lives in Oxfordshire with his family; his leisure interests include painting and playing the banjo. He played the banjo in the Goodies episodes, "Gender Education" and "Bunfight at the O.K. Tea Rooms".

Garden was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to light entertainment.

Graeme's father, Robert Symon Garden, was an eminent orthopaedic surgeon who created the Garden classification of hip fractures and the Garden screw, used to repair certain hip fractures. He died on 16 October 1982 at the age of 72.

Timothy Julian Brooke-Taylor OBE (born 17 July 1940) is an English comic actor. He became active in performing in comedy sketches while at Cambridge University, and became President of the Footlights club, touring internationally with the Footlights revue in 1964. Becoming wider known to the public for his work on BBC Radio with ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'', he moved into television with ''At Last the 1948 Show'' working together with old Cambridge friends John Cleese and Graham Chapman. He is most well known as one member of the Goodies, starring in the TV series throughout the 1970s and picking up international recognition in Australia and New Zealand. He has also appeared as an actor in various sitcoms, and has been a panellist on ''I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'' for nearly 40 years.

Early life and education

Brooke-Taylor was born in Buxton, Derbyshire, England, the grandson of Francis Pawson, a parson who played centre forward for England's football team in the 1880s. His mother was an international lacrosse player and his father a solicitor. He was expelled from primary school at the early age of five and a half. Brooke-Taylor was then schooled at Thorn Leigh Pre-Preparatory School, Holm Leigh Preparatory School (where he won a cup for his prowess as a bowler in the school cricket team) and Winchester College which he left with seven O-levels and two A-levels in English and History. After teaching for a year at a preparatory school in Berkhamsted and a term back at Holm Leigh School as a teacher, he studied at Pembroke College at the University of Cambridge. There he read Economics and Politics before changing to read Law, and mixed with other budding comedians, including John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Bill Oddie and Jonathan Lynn in the prestigious Cambridge University Footlights Club (of which Brooke-Taylor became President in 1963).

The Footlights Club revue, ''A Clump of Plinths'' was so successful during its Edinburgh Festival Fringe run, that the show was renamed as ''Cambridge Circus'' and the revue transferred to the West End in London, and then later taken to both New Zealand and to Broadway in the United States in September 1964. He was also active in the Pembroke College drama society, the Pembroke Players.

Career

Brooke-Taylor moved swiftly into BBC Radio with the fast-paced comedy show ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'' in which he performed and co-wrote. As the screeching eccentric Lady Constance de Coverlet, he could be relied upon to generate the loudest audience response of many programmes in this long-running series merely with her unlikely catchphrase "did somebody call?" uttered after a comic and transparent feed-line, as their adventure story reached its climax or cliffhanger ending. Other members of ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'' were John Cleese, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden, David Hatch and Jo Kendall.

In the mid-'60s, Brooke-Taylor performed in the TV series ''On the Braden Beat'' with Canadian Bernard Braden, taking over the slot then-recently vacated by Peter Cook in his guise as E.L. Wisty. Brooke-Taylor played a reactionary right-wing city gent who believed he was the soul of tolerance.

In 1967, Brooke-Taylor became a writer/performer on the television comedy series ''At Last the 1948 Show'', with John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman. The famous "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch was co-written by the four writers/performers of the series. The sketch was one of the few sketches which survived the destruction of the series (by the tapes being wiped), by David Frost's Paradine Productions (which produced the series), and the sketch appears on the DVD of ''At Last the 1948 Show''. The "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch has also been performed during Amnesty concert performances (by members of Monty Python – occasionally including other comedians and actors in place of Monty Python regulars – notably Rowan Atkinson and Alan Rickman), as well as being performed during ''Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl'' and on other Monty Python shows. Footage of Tim Brooke-Taylor and John Cleese, from ''At Last the 1948 Show'', was shown on the documentary special ''Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyers Cut)''.

Brooke-Taylor also took part in Frost's pilot programme ''How to Irritate People'' in 1968, designed to sell what would later be recognised as the Monty Python style of comedy to the American market. Many of the sketches were later revived in the Monty Python TV series, notably the job interview sketch where Brooke-Taylor played a nervous interviewee tormented by interviewer John Cleese. The programme was also notable as the first collaboration of John Cleese and Michael Palin.

In 1968–69, Brooke-Taylor was also a cast member and writer on the television comedy series ''Marty'' starring Marty Feldman, with John Junkin and Roland MacLeod. A compilation of the two series of ''Marty'' has been released on a BBC DVD with the title of ''The Best of Marty Feldman''.

At around the same time, Brooke-Taylor made two series of ''Broaden Your Mind'' with Graeme Garden (and Bill Oddie joining the series for the second season). Describing itself as "An Encyclopedia of the Air", this series was a string of comedy sketches (often lifted from ''I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again''), linked (loosely) by a weekly running theme. Unfortunately, nothing but a few minutes of film inserts exist for this programme, though home-made off-air audio recordings survive for both seasons. Its success led to the commissioning of ''The Goodies'', also with Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden. First transmitted on BBC2 in November 1970, ''The Goodies'' was a huge television success, running for over a decade on both BBC TV and (in its final year) UK commercial channel London Weekend Television, spawning many spin-off books and successful records.

During the run of the Goodies, Brooke-Taylor took part in the BBC radio series ''Hello, Cheeky!'', a bawdy stand up comedy show also starring Barry Cryer and John Junkin. The series transferred to television briefly, produced by the UK commercial franchise Yorkshire Television.

He also appeared on television in British sitcoms, including ''You Must Be the Husband'' with Diane Keen, ''His and Hers'' with Madeline Smith, and ''Me and My Girl'' with Richard O'Sullivan.

Brooke-Taylor also appeared regularly in advertisements, including the Christmas commercials for the Brentford Nylons chain of fabric stores, and in a public information film for the now-defunct E111 form.

In 1971, he played the short, uncredited role of a computer scientist in the film ''Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory''. After the end of ''The Goodies'' on UK television, Brooke-Taylor also worked again with Garden and Oddie on the animated television comedy series ''Bananaman'', in which Brooke-Taylor was the narrator, as well as voicing the characters of King Zorg of the Nurks, Eddie the Gent, Auntie and Appleman. He also lent his voice to the children's TV series ''Gideon''.

Tim appeared, with Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden, in the Amnesty International show ''A Poke in the Eye (With a Sharp Stick)'' (during which they sang their hit song "Funky Gibbon"), and also appeared in the Amnesty International show ''The Secret Policeman's Other Ball'' in the sketches "Top of the Form" (with John Cleese, Graham Chapman, John Bird, John Fortune, Rowan Atkinson and Griff Rhys Jones), and "Cha Cha Cha" (with John Cleese and Graham Chapman).

Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden, and Bill Oddie also appeared on ''Top of the Pops'' with their song "Funky Gibbon". Brooke-Taylor also appeared with Graeme Garden in the theatre production of ''The Unvarnished Truth''.

Other BBC radio programmes in which Brooke-Taylor played a part include the self-styled "antidote to panel games" ''I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'' which started in 1972, and Tim still appears regularly. On 18 February 1981 Brooke-Taylor was the subject of Thames Television's ''This Is Your Life''.

Graeme Garden was a regular team captain on the political satire game show ''If I Ruled the World''. Tim Brooke-Taylor appeared as a guest in one episode, and, during the game "I Couldn't Disagree More" he proposed that it was high time ''The Goodies'' episodes were repeated. Garden was obliged by the rules of the game to rebut this statement, and replied "I couldn't disagree more... it was time to repeat them ten, fifteen years ago." This was followed by uproarious applause from the studio audience.

In 2004, Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden were co-presenters of Channel 4's daytime game show, ''Beat the Nation'', in which they indulged in usual game show "banter", but took the quiz itself seriously. He has appeared on stage in Australia and England, usually as a middle class Englishman. Around 1982, he branched out into pantomime as the Dame in ''Dick Whittington''. He is also the author (and co-author) of several humorous books based mainly around his radio and television work and the sports of golf and cricket. He also took part in the ''Pro-Celebrity Golf'' television series (opposite Bruce Forsyth). Brooke-Taylor appeared on the premiere episode of the BBC golf-based game show ''Full Swing''.

Brooke-Taylor was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours.
