Announcing Sean's return to the world of 'THE ARCHERS' this time in the 4th Series on the Spin-Off show 'AMBRIDGE EXTRA' on BBC Radio 4 Extra.

The Horrobin clan: Sean Connolly (Keith), Bert (Martyn Read), Tracy (Susie Riddell) and Clive (Alex Jones).

I am delighted to announce that Keith Horrobin has returned in the 4th Series of 'THE ARCHERS' Spin-Off show 'AMBRIDGE EXTRA' on BBC Radio 4 Extra. We now know that Keith has been sentenced to FOUR YEARS in prison for arson, criminal damage and conspiracy! It doesn't look like it's going to be a very Happy Christmas for Keith! On the upside for me in any case it means being re-united with even more of the Horrobin clan. My father Bert (Martyn Read), sister Tracy (Susie Riddell), my brother Clive (Alex Jones) and my lovely wife Donna (Alison Belbin) - below ... it should be an interesting festive period.

Keith Horrobin's money worries have tipped him over the edge!

Well now we know, Keith has pleaded guilty to burning David and Ruth Archer's barn. Oh dear, this can surely only end badly!

Thought it'd be good to share a few pictures with you from my wonderful time on 'THE ARCHERS' so far. Firstly a lovely picture (above) with my 'Archers' sisters, the wonderful Charlotte Martin (Susan Carter née Horrobin) and Susie Riddell (Tracy Horrobin).

Above is a photo with actor Edward Kelsey none other than Joe Grundy himself. Ted has been one of my all time voice acting heroes having provided the voices of both of Colonel K and Baron Silas Greenback in 'DANGER MOUSE' for Cosgrove Hall Films.

Mr Growbag in Aardman's 'WALLACE AND GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT' and other Cosgrove Hall classics like 'WIND IN THE WILLOWS'. What a thrill! For me I knew I had properly arrived in Ambridge when as Keith, I shared a half of Shires with the legendary Joe at the Bull!

The wait is over ... Sean can reveal that he is playing Keith Horrobin in 'THE ARCHERS' starting 9th May 2012.

Well if you've seen the current issue of the Radio Times (above) then you might have noticed that I am playing Keith Horrobin in 'THE ARCHERS' on BBC Radio 4 - this coming Wednesday 9th May at 7pm. It's been fantastic meeting my new 'Archers' family members. We shall have to wait and see what life in Ambridge brings for Keith, let the fun commence!
