[pressgang] Lee Ross and Lucy Benjamin

[Vince Deehan]

Hello everyone,

I thought I'd write to let you know that Lucy Benjamin is currently in
my favourite new TV sitcom, DETECTORISTS, on BBC Four. She is absolutely
brilliant in it. Great to see her in such an excellent show.

Lee Ross popped up as a fairly minor character in the recent David
Morissey drama THE DRIVER on BBC1. He is currently in the BBC Radio 4
on-going World War One drama series TOMMIES. I caught part of an episode
by accident recently and really enjoyed what I heard. I didn't know Lee
was in it, till the credits were read out at the end.

There is a really nice audio interview with Lee and a great photo, where
he talks about TOMMIES, here:

It's nice to have a chance to hear his real voice. It's not that
different to the voice he uses in many of his roles. He's such a great
actor and I wish he had a higher profile. I suspect though that he
enjoys his low-key career and is in it for the work and not the prospect
of fame and big money.
