Real life actor couple Sean Connolly & Bella Hamblin appear in BBC's 'DOCTORS' playing a troubled couple ...

I had the absolute delight of playing opposite my REAL LIFE WIFE - BELLA HAMBLIN in an episode of the BBC's afternoon soap 'DOCTORS' called 'OVER THE WATERS', playing ... yep you've guessed it, a married couple!! So we've played a married couple in the BBC RADIO 4 drama series 'HOME FRONT' and now we've hit your telly box!! We also had the great privilege of working with director DEBBIE HOWARD for the first time and not forgetting the amazing 'Doctors' production team. It was so great to be back working (at all!) in a Covid secure environment ... 'reasons to be cheerful'!!

It's available now to watch on the BBC's iPlayer here https://bbc.in/2QOnKer

How amazing to see our names next to each other in the end credits, first time ever for us ...

DOUBLE BBC TELLY TROUBLE for SEAN ...'Doctors' & 'Shakespeare & Hathaway - Private Investigators' ...

I've had the great fortune to have appeared in TWO MIDLAND'S MADE BBC telly shows either side of Christmas .. firstly just before Christmas I was delighted to return to 'DOCTORS' and last week I popped up on the hugely popular afternoon crime drama 'SHAKESPEARE & HATHAWAY - PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS' ...

Firstly and rather belatedly my 'DOCTORS' episode 'HE WATCHES' was a pre-Christmas story, tying up a long storyline but also introducing my good self as Villa fan and pub landlord MARK ELWOOD who appears to be at the centre of a on-line conspiracy theory - here's the direct link to the episode on the BBC's iPLAYER https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000c6nl/doctors-series-21-27-he-watches (it's available for a year!) and few stills from the episode, no spoilers from me, have a watch ... director was NIALL FRASER.

Secondly and rather more recently was my dramatic cameo appearance in the second episode 'SEE THYSELF, DEVIL!' of SEASON 3 of 'SHAKESPEARE & HATHAWAY - PRIVATE INVESTGATORS' starring JOY JOYNER and MARK BENTON ... I play EARL ALBANY, ex-lead guitarist turned vicar of legendary heavy rock band 'CALIBAN'S CLAW' ... Back in their heyday the members of the band all signed a 'deal' with the devil in blood for success, as the lead singer (played by DAVID SCHOFIELD) plans a comeback it seems that the devil is back to call in that debt!! 

Here again is the direct link to the episode on the BBC's iPLAYER 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000f290/shakespeare-hathaway-private-investigators-series-3-2-see-thyself-devil (once again it's available for the whole of this year!) and a few well chosen 'spoiler-free' stills from the episode ... enjoy!! Director for this episode was JOHN GREENING ...

(OH ... IF YOU READ TO THE END OF THIS BLOGPOST, YOU'LL SEE AN EXCLUSIVE BAND PIC!)

It was great fun on the shoot ... you might recognise my church as The Collegiate Church of St Mary in lovely Warwick ... What a privilege it was to work in such beautiful surroundings. It was also lovely to reaquaint  with JO JOYNER after quite a hiatus ... we'd last worked together on the CHANNEL 4 series 'NO ANGELS' back in 2005(ish!) ...

HERE'S THAT PIC!!!

Filming on BBC TV's 'DOCTORS' is a great tonic!!

Had a great day filming on BBC One's long-running medical soap opera 'DOCTORS' on Friday ... Of course there will be no spoilers from me to the nature of my role, let's just say in the words of SIR IAN MCKELLEN in 'EXTRAS' ...

"How did I know what to say? They had my lines written down on a script. How did I know where to stand? People showed me." ...

I can tell you that the episode will go out later this year and I think it could be a really special one! Stayed tuned and I'll update you nearer the time ...
