Welcome to The TV Shelter.

We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible.

However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique.

And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums.

And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried.

We hope you enjoy your visit.

Arnold Peters, Archers actor, dies
Source: bbc.co.uk

Archers actor Arnold Peters, who played businessman Jack Woolley in the Radio 4 soap, has died at the age of 87 at a care home in Northamptonshire.

Peters, who had Alzheimer's disease, joined the show in May 1980 and was last heard on air in July 2011.

A storyline which told of his character's Alzheimer's helped the show to win the Mental Health Media Award in 2007.

June Spencer, who played wife Peggy, paid tribute to a "complete pro".

"He loved acting - it was his life," she said.

"I picture him in the latter days in the green room with his stick and his cap, always very genial."

She added: "He was very conscientious - he always turned in a good performance no matter what we were doing."

She said Peters, who took over a part originally played by Philip Garston-Jones, was "very active, all the time, whether it was for charity or professionally", and produced amateur dramatic shows, was a country dance caller and a drummer.

Peters, who died on Saturday afternoon, had previously appeared in the Archers playing characters including Rev David Latimer, from 1968 to 1973.
