Ian Pepperell, actor who played publican Roy Tucker in The Archers and ran a real-life inn – obituary
Ian Pepperell, who has died after a long illness aged 53, not only played the hotelier Roy Tucker in the long-running Radio 4 sitcom The Archers, but in real life also ran The Star Inn in Ringwood, Hampshire. He was far from unusual in having a second profession away from the series: Graham Blockley, who played Robert Snell, was a village GP in Surrey, while Charlotte Martin, who is Susan Carter, is a research psychologist.
