(The Archers’ Brian Aldridge )

When you’ve been privileged to play the J.R. of Ambridge, Brian Aldridge in The Archers for over 30 years – you have a history to tell!

But like farmer Brian, Charles has diversified!

Games shows with Bernard Manning and Noel Edmonds, news reading on the world service, countless T.V. dramas and many guest appearances on Call My Bluff, Countdown, winning the Soap Opera Special Weakest Link, plus mixing with the best on R4’s Quote Unquote and

Just A Minute, culminating in being described as the sexiest bastard in show business when he was the honoured subject of This Is Your Life in 2003, makes ‘An Audience with Charles Collingwood’,

a natural raconteur, A MUST!

In his new solo show ‘Playing Away’ he will guide you through his colourful life with personal anecdotes, excerpts from shows and some surprising impressions, rounding off the evening with a Q & A session, where he’s game for almost anything!

Rest assured that when you go home you will know a lot more about his life in

“The Archers”, the world of entertainment and a fair amount about Charles’ personal life as well!

Charles can’t help feeling that as you leave you’ll be saying

‘Well, I never knew that!’
