‘I’ve starred in The Archers for 20 years but could never afford my own farm’

Fame & Fortune: The BBC actor on money mistakes, theatre hecklers, and his 20-year radio stint

Andrew Wincott is an actor, best known for playing Adam in the BBC Radio 4 drama The Archers, which he joined 20 years ago. After studying English and then doing teacher training at Oxford, the 61-year-old taught for two years before going to Webber Douglas drama school, where fellow actors Hugh Bonneville and Rebecca Front were contemporaries.

He then worked on the regional theatre circuit, and later became a member of the BBC Radio Drama Company, before joining the cast of The Archers in 2003. The father of one lives in Clapham, south London.

How did your start in life affect your outlook on money?

My two brothers and I grew up in Oxfordshire where my parents ran a catering business.

But the 1970s were a difficult time for a lot of businesses, so after 10 years enjoying an idyllic life in the countryside, we moved into the flat above the restaurant and cake shop the family owned, Wincott’s, in Banbury.

Work always came first for my parents, so for a number of years we didn’t go away in the summer.

Did you receive pocket money?

Yes, and I spent it on Marvel comics, and later on albums like Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here, which I played endlessly in the mid-70s.

What was your first job?

After leaving school in 1978, before going to university, I worked at the Dragon Prep School in Oxford doing a variety of jobs, one of which involved keeping the headmaster’s drinks cupboard well-stocked, and serving gin and tonics at garden parties.

The G&Ts I poured were notoriously generous. Occasionally I even got to ‘sample’ the headmaster’s gin myself.

But my first proper acting job, which also secured my Equity card [a trade union for the performing arts], came after I gatecrashed an audition in 1987 and landed the part of Alec in Tess of the D’ Urbervilles at the Orchard Theatre Company in Barnstaple, which toured the West Country.

Wincott says starring in The Archers is like having ‘a second family’. Pictured here with Stephen Kennedy and Mairead McKinley (Credit: The Archers/David Burges)

How long did you work in regional theatre for? Was it lucrative?

The best part of a decade, appearing everywhere from Colchester to Perth, and Harrogate to Theatr Clwyd in Wales, doing both Shakespeare and modern plays, often playing leading roles.

Money was minimal – I was paid about £160-£170 a week on my first acting job – but the Equity Touring allowance helped.

Regional theatre allowed me to hone my skills as an actor. Once, I was heckled by an inebriated audience member who loudly greeted every entrance I made in Tess with a cry of “Asshole!”.

However, you just have to stay focused. He was gone by the interval – probably back to the bar. This was in Falmouth, now affectionately rebranded among friends as “Foulmouth”!

Have you experienced any lean times as an actor?

It took me nine months to land my first proper acting job, and until then I was working on the fringe – just earning expenses, or profit sharing if I was lucky.

Most actors have good years and bad years. So you have to set aside money to see you through the lean spells, as well as save enough to pay your tax bill at the end of the year.

How did you land the part of Adam in The Archers?

I actually played a Danish agricultural student for a few months in the 1990s – but then, a decade or so later, I was invited to audition with a dozen other actors for the role of Adam at Pebble Mill in 2003.

I heard nothing for 10 days, but was then asked to come back for a recall [second audition] and was offered the role.

Now, it's like having a second family. This month I’ve been a cast regular for almost exactly 20 years. Providing you aren’t written out (or killed off), there’s a certain security.

Coincidentally, my mother grew up on a Home Farm [a key location in the radio drama] and went to the same school, although not at the same time, as Godfrey Baseley, who created The Archers.

Does The Archers pay enough for you to buy a farm of your own?

The cast only works on The Archers for about one week in the month – we record blocks of episodes several weeks ahead of transmission – and radio pays somewhere between theatre and television.

So I doubt it would pay for a farm in the UK, though it might eventually just pay for a small farmhouse in rural Andalucia, where I enjoy spending time.

So who knows? I might become a Spanish granjero and grow olives one day.

You also find time to record audiobooks and video games?

I’ve recorded hundreds of audiobooks and video games over the last 15 years or so. An audiobook takes days, if not weeks, to prepare and then record in studio.

I’ve voiced everything from The Wind in the Willows to Nineteen Eighty-Four and the classics of Flaubert.

But it's hard work for often little reward. It can be fun creating bizarre voices for elves, orks or extraterrestrials in fantasy books, but the concentration required when the red light is on is second to none.

It's just you, the words on the page and the voices in your imagination.

In addition to his role on the BBC’s longest-running drama, Wincott has recorded hundreds of audiobooks and video games. Pictured with Stephen Kennedy (Credit: BBC/PA)

Have you got a pension?

Yes, I took out an Equity pension through my union years ago and still pay into it. I also have a SIPP.

What’s been your best investment?

The investment I made in going to drama school in the mid-1980s. Doing that gave me classical training as an actor. I probably wouldn’t be in The Archers today without that.

Do you own a property?

Yes, a second floor, two-bedroom flat in a property in Clapham, south London, dating back to the 1900s. I bought it for £60,000 in 1991, though it’s now worth a considerable six-figure sum, I imagine.

It’s an excellent location for getting in and out of town.

Are you a spender or a saver?

Instinctively a saver. As an actor you never know what’s around the corner, and we know if we're working there will be tax to pay. Not to mention investing for the future.

What’s your greatest financial indulgence?

Every now and then, I'll spend a few days in southern Spain, specifically Las Alpujarras – the foothills of the Sierra Nevada – where I can recharge my batteries, or prepare a book for audio in tranquility. I'm learning Spanish now, too.

What has been your worst financial decision?

Buying into the Woodford Equity Investment Fund, as part of my SIPP.

Although Neil Woodford was considered a star fund manager, the fund collapsed and the administrator is now embroiled in collective litigation to recoup losses. Never a dull moment.

Do you donate to charity?

Yes, Art Fund, which facilitates the acquisition of artworks for the nation. Doing so also entitles you to half-price admission to special exhibitions, such as those at the Tate, the Courtauld or the National Gallery.

Do you plan to do a June Spencer (Peggy Archer) and still be in The Archers when you’re 100?

Who knows? The Archers is an extraordinary institution, part of our cultural fabric as a farming nation – it boasts such longevity, too.

Maybe my character will outlive me? I'd like to think he will… before the next generation takes over.

Garage Door Installation

A Functioning garage door could be just a vital part of life. The timing of which it breaks makes it not possible to resolve the issue straight away. You may have to make unique strategies to get to where you are going and handle the problem after.

It's then that you have to contact professionals who focus on the repair and replacement of garage doors Perth. Garage doors may perhaps look as though they are simple to fix and operate, but the particular reverse could be the circumstance. They feature complex electric and hydraulic systems which can be linked in ways that just a person with deep wisdom and comprehension will be able to comprehend.

If your garage door gets malfunctioned, you need to call out a professional that may come out immediately and diagnose the issue, give you a repair estimate, and get to work straight away on solving the matter. This really is the sole means to spare you from further trouble and hassle.

You may be enticed to fix the door. This is a lousy idea. Your good intentions can lead to devastating consequences. You may make the issue worse. There is also security to think about. Garage doors are thick and strong. You do not need to place yourself in the position of getting any of your own body parts crushed or hurt. You should take precautions against this type of thing by getting in touch with those with the expertise and the equipment to carry out the repair.

The issue could be easily resolved. If that's true, then the people that you callout are likely to be in a position to conduct the repair and sort it in very little time. A substantial problem may require replacement. This really is really a much more involved job which will surely cost you more money. But it's going to go simpler if you put this at the hands of a person who knows what they're doing.

It's crucial to understand that not all garage repair companies are the exact same. They don't adhere to the exact same calibre of quality, value, service, and excellence. The organization which you use has to have a record and reputation for providing exceptional advantages and outstanding support. Cost is also important. Though spending money to receive your garage door fully functional again is just a worthy investment, so you should not need to cover excessive fees.

The company you use needs to deliver its promises. You have to work with a company that is willing to survive alone by its brand and what it states it may deliver. Obtaining your garage door functioning again should not be that tough and baffling. It is not going to be should you work with the right women and men.

The Best Tips For Working With Garden Mulch Safety

We all know that mulch in Perth city is any material placed to cover the top soil in the garden with the aim of enhancing the plant and soil wellbeing. Mulch may be inorganic or organic. Inorganic mulch includes pebbles, geotextile matting, plastic mulches and landscape fabrics. These are tedious to install, deteriorate over time, and limit water penetration to the soil. In very rare cases they will look aesthetically pleasing and natural.

Organic mulch

Organic mulch is considered to be a superior product compared to inorganic mulch. It is derived from plant materials that decompose naturally with time. During the process of decomposition, nutrients and organic matter are added to the soil and useful bacteria and fungi are enhanced in the soil. This inhibits pathogens that cause disease in plants.

Types of organic mulch

Organic mulch comes in different types and you can order from your mulch supplier in Perth city and type of mulch you want. Some of the most common types of organic mulch include sawdust, hay, shredded bark, grass clippings, cocoa shells, compost and leaves. It is crucial to know that soils, mulches, potting mixes and compost can be harmful to your health if you don’t handle them safely. This may be due to the potential presence of harmful microorganism legionella which can cause conditions like pneumonia and other serious illnesses.

It is, therefore, essential to avoid inhaling these organisms or transferring them from hand to mouth. The bacteria can also cause serious health conditions if it enters your body through a cut on your skin. This can cause tetanus infection.

Safety tips for handling mulch

For you to handle mulch Perth safely, you should always wear gloves when dealing with mulch or doing other gardening chores. You should wear musk to avoid inhaling any of the mulch components. Keep potting mix and compost damp when using it. Clean your hands with water and soap after gardening.

Creative Limestone Garden Edging Ideas

As its name suggests, garden edging is ideal for dividing your landscaping design into various spaces. By building borders around your lawn, garden beds and other features, you can create visual interest while also enjoying many practical benefits. With effective edging in place, you can ensure that soil from your garden will not spill out into surrounding areas. It will also prevent you from damaging your plants when using your mower on nearby grassed areas.

There are many materials that are suitable to use for garden edging, but for a classic and simple look that will complement almost any outdoor space, you can’t go past limestone. Made from natural rock, the creamy tones and organic textures of limestone provide a beautiful contrast with greenery and lush plant life. It’s also a highly durable and versatile material that can be used to create a wide range of visual styles.

If you’re looking to give your garden ‘an edge’ here are 5 creative ideas on how to incorporate limestone edging into your front or backyard.

Bold Geometric Shapes

It doesn’t matter whether you’re aiming for sleek minimalism or an intricate design, you can use garden edging in a geometric pattern to improve the aesthetic and functionality of your landscape.

On the more understated side, you could create long lines that are pleasing to the eye through the use of rectangular flower beds. Or you could go for a more symmetrical look and square off your lawn from the rest of your garden.

For those who want to make more of an impact, you could use all sorts of shapes to create a complex pattern. You could design an Alice In Wonderland-esque maze like effect or cut diamonds into your lawn and fill them with trees to add height to your landscape. Create a row of alternating, triangular shaped garden beds or separate parts of your outdoor area on a diagonal, using a zigzagging line of shrubbery. The only limit to your design idea is your own imagination!

Winding, Wavy Lines

For more of a gentle, subtle effect, you could style your limestone garden edging in undulating, flowing lines. Less harsh than a solid, straight edge, curved lines will create more visual unity between your lawn and your garden, while still physically separating the two areas.

If you’re working with a small front or backyard, wavy lines may help to create the impression of spaciousness. What’s more, if you have an oddly shaped or sloped area, you may be better off styling your edging in soft arches that take advantage of the uneven space, rather than drawing attention to it.

To take it to the next level, you could combine winding, wavy lines with geometric shapes to create a completely unique landscaping design.

Blaze a Trail

While garden edging is traditionally used to keep a clean boundary between lawn and plant life, you could also use it to border a garden pathway.

If you’re using gravel or pebbles to form walking trails throughout your landscape, you will need to find a way to contain the loose stones. Garden edging is the perfect way to restrict the movement of the stones and give your path a neat and tidy edge.

The creamy tones of limestone will always pair nicely with the silvery, blue-grey of crushed stone or the orange-red shades of gravel.

Create a Feature Statement

If you have an older property, you may have larger, established trees in your landscape. You can use garden edging to make a statement out of a tall tree by encircling or squaring off the area around the base of the trunk. On the other side of the limestone boundary you could either plant potted flowers or a decorative hedge. Alternatively, you could simply allow your lawn to grow around the tree, increasing the usable area in your yard.

Another idea for a feature statement could be a water fountain or a statue. Almost any focal point in your landscape can be bordered by garden edging, as long as it is resting on a surface that contrasts with the surrounding area. For instance, a water feature could be sitting on a bed of pebbles, with a limestone frame separating it from the rest of the garden.

Light the Way

One way to enhance any garden edging is design is to use clever lighting. Outdoor, LED strip lights are robust and flexible so you can apply them to the underside of your limestone edging to create a stunning effect.

LED strips will essentially light up the lines and shapes you have created, making your landscaping design even more eye-catching during the evenings. Available in a range of colours and colour temperatures, you could use LEDs to add a warm glow to your garden or you could create a vibrant, lighting design. At Christmas time you could even go for red and green to be extra festive.

No matter what garden edging idea you decide to pursue, you can get all of your limestone supplies from Remastone. Offering Perth’s highest quality, reconstituted limestone blocks, our friendly team will be able to help you select the right product for your landscaping design.
