Sean to be 'heard' on new BBC 2 Drama 'PEAKY BLINDERS' this Autumn.


An all star cast comes to BBC2 in the brand new six part drama set in 1919 Birmingham. 'PEAKY BLINDERS' starts this September.
I had a great but exhausting time doing some Group ADR work for the upcoming BBC2 drama ‘PEAKY BLINDERS’. It stars Cillian Murphy (Inception, The Dark Knight), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Annabelle Wallis (X-Men: First Class, The Tudors, The Musketeers) and Helen McCrory (Hugo, Harry Potter, The Queen) and the first two episodes will premiere at this years Edinburgh International Film Festival. Listen out for me when the 6 part series airs in the Autumn.

Keith will continue his jail sentence for conspiracy and arson after he burned down David and Ruth Archers barn last summer, in a storyline which became known as 'Farmagedden'!

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.

The Horrobin siblings together ... Susan (Charlotte Martin), Keith (Sean Connolly) and Tracy (Susie Riddell) ...
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!
