Sad to hear Jack Shepherd has passed away.
He was great in Wycliffe in the 90's and I was lucky to see him on stage in Ipswich alongside Terrence Hardiman a few years back, their Q&A afterwards was an added bonus.

Change would be afoot come the six series of Where The Heart Is in 2002 with several cast changes both on and off screen but for now, the locals of Skelthwaite end 2001 on a high.

It was great to read my first Rebecca Tope novel of the year recently 🙈

This moment had been prepared for as the photo had been taken last November 🙊

Do you prep book photos in advance?
