2022.12.25 – 0724 – Reading Cast Lists

 

This is the part of the cast list for an episode of the world’s longest-running continuing drama, BBC Radio 4’s “The Archers”:

Pat Archer ….. Patricia Gallimore

Susan Carter ….. Charlotte Martin

Justin Elliott ….. Simon Williams

Toby Fairbrother ….. Rhys Bevan

Brad Horrobin ….. Taylor Uttley

Stella Pryor ….. Lucy Speed

Writer, Nick Warburton

Director, Julie Beckett

Editor, Jeremy Howe

 

In this situation, with agreement from a studio director, you may be able to adlib slightly with the list to make it an easier and more understandable listen:

Pat Archer was played by Patricia Gallimore

Susan Carter, Charlotte Martin

and Justin Elliott by Simon Williams.

Rhys Bevan played Toby Fairbrother

Taylor Uttley was Brad Horrobin

and the part of Stella Pryor was Lucy Speed

The writer was Nick Warburton, it was directed by Julie Beckett and the editor was Jeremy Howe.

 

That, of course, also with the change in tone for each character and actor name, and with a final downward inflection at the end of the list to show completeness.
