Channel 5 announcer and Sons and Daughters

surely there must be some closet sons and daughters fans around here? well i am going to ask anyway

trish on five loves sons and daughters, you can tell she is a fan, but there is one male announcer who is even more of a fan than trish. he’s very enthusiastic and you can tell he watches it for big hair and big frocks just like the rest of us.

he did a very funny set of announcements this weekend, which can be heard below

MYSTERY FIVE ANNOUNCER - S&Ds

i have googled for england trying to find out what this blokes name is - but to no avail - can anyone else shed any light?

also does anyone else know if there is any news on whether the young doctors will replace s&ds when it comes to an end?

That'd be Glen Allen.

I should have realised you were a closet SAD fan, TVM.

Mind you.....

.. so am I!

Are you on the SAD Newslist?

Great to see Rowena back in it again

ta marksi - did glen work for the bbc until recently?



i only got into it at christmas - so i don't remember rowena's previous incarnation, but yes, she's my kind of character. mind you the colin hopkins/ruby hawkins story was an epic! mind you i have put every episode since january onto dvd to treasure, they really don’t make telly like that anymore.

never heard of the newslist - where is it?

Glen's been working for Five for quite a while now.

Rowena's return is S&D's 'Bobby Ewing in the Shower moment' I think, totally unplausible but very fab.

But alas it appears even Rowena couldn't do enough to save it, only 41 more episodes to go according to the fab announcer.

I'd love Five to rerun Prisoner once S&D's finishes, but as they've already shown the series once, this is unlikely

No it's just not the same since the golden days of Pat the Rat.... all these dull characters like Debbie and Craig and Janice. Who cares about them? You can see why it was axed just by watching the last few months of storylines.

yeh, craig and debbie are there just to pad it out, talk about mundane, tedious storylines. janice on the other hand is one of my favourites, you’ve gotta love that librarian chic look she has going on. she’s a less uptight, less moralistic, less preaching version of me.

now ch5 are wholly owned by RTL, as are grundy/freemantle, i wonder if it makes it more likely that ch5 will show prisoner/young doctors when s&ds finishes.

Is it just me or is the video stopping after "What's that all about"? I'm desperate to hear what the bloke says!

oops - think i've fixed it now

Here's another great Glen Allen announcement into S&D from November last year!
