[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 290192, member: 26097"] The BBC did revive To The Manor Born as a radio series later in 1997 on Radio 2. BBC Radio 4 Extra has just finished a repeat run of the show. Penelope Keith and Angela Thorne returned from the TV series, but Peter Bowles wasn't able to (or declined) to return so Keith Barron took his place. Daphne Heard and John Rudling had died by the time of the radio series, so Margery Withers, who had appeared on The Day Today (I believe along with Jean Ainslie, she's one of the ladies interviewed in the fake wartime documentary), and Nicholas McArdle (Miller in the TV version) took over their roles. Michael Bilton had also died by the radio series debuting, so the role was taken over by Frank Middlemiss. (Speaking of Jean Ainslie and The Day Today, she also appeared in Knowing Me, Knowing You as Elsie Morgan. One of the actresses playing Elsie's teammates was Gabrielle Hamilton, who had been in the revived version of The Tomorrow People.) [/QUOTE]
