Alan Davies
(Actor)
.. Jonathan Creek
Born:
March 06, 1966
in
Loughton, Essex
Best Known For:
Jonathan Creek and being the permanent panellist on QI.
Early-life:
Alan Roger Davies was born in Loughton, Essex, on March 6, 1966. Together with his older brother and younger sister, Alan was raised by his accountant father, following the death of his mother from leukaemia when he was six. Despite disliking school, he was a bright child and passed 12 O-Levels and two A-Levels before studying drama at the University of Kent. On graduating, he signed on for an Enterprise Allowance Scheme to help fund his assault on the London comedy circuit.
Career:
Davies performed his first stand-up gig in 1988, and by the early 1990s was a rising star, picking up rave reviews at Edinburgh. He later gave up playing clubs to concentrate on radio. His Radio 1 series, Alan's Big One FM, led to TV appearances on shows such as One Foot in the Grave, before he was cast as the lead in Jonathan Creek, the light-hearted mystery drama that made him a household name. Other acting work includes Bob and Rose, A Many Splintered Thing, The Brief, Marple, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008), Lewis and Whites. He presented the three-part documentary Alan Davies' Teenage Revolution for Channel 4 in 2010 and was a judge in 2011 on ITV talent show Show Me the Funny. He's also appeared in West End hit Auntie and Me. He has been a permanent panellist on irreverent quiz QI since the show began in 2003.
Quote:
"I'm like a fine wine. I'm maturing."

Caroline Quentin
(Actor)
.. Maddy Magellan
Born:
July 11, 1960
in
Reigate, Surrey
Best Known For:
Playing Dorothy in 1990's sitcom Men Behaving Badly.
Early-life:
Born Caroline Jones in Reigate, Surrey, on July 11, 1960. She has three older sisters. She learnt her trade at the Tring Park School, a boarding school focusing on the performing arts, which would eventually give her the platform to forge a TV career. Her first proper job, however, came on stage in Lowestoft, where, at the age of 16, she was a member of a chorus line. A director spotted her and offered her a job at London's Royal Court Theatre.
Career:
During the 1980s, Quentin had small, supporting roles in a number of projects. In the early 1990s she made appearances in Harry Enfield and Chums before landing the role of Dorothy on Men Behaving Badly in 1992, which eventually ended in 1998. Jonathan Creek offered Quentin a chance to delve into slightly more serious territory. Acting projects since include Life Begins, Blue Murder, Life of Riley, Just William, Dead Boss, Switch and Dancing on the Edge. Quentin also presents Restoration Home (she has dabbled in property restoration herself on numerous occasions) and has begun a second TV career as a travelogue presenter thanks to series such as A Passage Through India and Caroline Quentin's Cornwall.
Quote:
"Reaching 50 is a reason for great celebration, if you ask me, because we all know people at this stage who haven't made it. In the end, it's so much better than the alternative."
Trivia:
In 2004, Quentin received a special recognition gong at the National Television Awards.
