Quote:

Why do your obituaries of actors only ever seem to concentrate on what said actor did on stage or screen, but never radio? Your obituary of Benjamin Whitrow (https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/sep/29/benjamin-whitrow-obituary) (30 September) failed to mention that one can still hear his mellifluous tones on Radio 4 Extra on Friday mornings in Simon Brett’s series After Henry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Henry_(radio_series)). Here, Whitrow’s character, Russell, serendipitously plays the part of a second-hand bookshop owner.
