James Bolam (Actor) .. Fr Tibbings

Born: June 16, 1935 in Sunderland

Best Known For: Being a Likely Lad.

Early-life: Born James Christopher Bolam on June 16, 1935, in Sunderland. His father died when he was young. The family left the North East when James was 12, and he attended school in Derby. There was no showbiz influence in his family, but Bolam went to the cinema every Saturday and that inspired him to try acting. He briefly worked as a trainee chartered accountant, before winning a place at the Central Drama School in London. He made his professional stage debut at the Royal Court in 1959.

Career: Bolam appeared on stage alongside Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud, then followed it up with films The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and A Kind of Loving, before being cast as cynical Terry Collier in The Likely Lads in 1964. He agreed to reprise the role in Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? nine years later. James went on to star in When the Boat Comes In, Only When I Laugh and Alan Plater's Beiderbecke trilogy. He has also appeared in Clockwork Mice, The End of the Affair, Born and Bred, Grandpa in My Pocket, To Kill a King and controversial feature-length drama Shipman, about serial killer doctor Harold Shipman. He starred in New Tricks between 2003 and 2012 and continues to appear on stage.

Quote: 'I'm suddenly popular again. I don't know why.'

Trivia: He was awarded an MBE in 2009.

Lindsey Coulson (Actor) .. Sue Blackstone

Best Known For: Playing Carol Jackson in EastEnders.

Early-life: Born in 1960 in north London. The middle child of three, her mother, Mavis, was a social worker. Her father, George, had his own civil engineering business before retiring. After leaving school, Lindsey became a hairdresser, but at 21 gained a place at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. She continued hairdressing to make ends meet after completing drama training.

Career: Initially struggled to gain decent roles and her early projects included theatre work and TV shows such as Boris Bitty's Brand New Parents and A Bear Behind. Her life turned around when she landed the role of bitter mother-of-four Carol Jackson in EastEnders in 1993. For four years she was in the thick of things thanks to strong storylines, but left in 1997. She then took on a very different role - as a doctor - in miniseries Out of Hours in 1998, and a year later returned to Albert Square for 18 weeks. Since then, Coulson has appeared in several TV shows to great acclaim. In 2010, she returned to Walford to reprise her role as Carol.

Quote: 'I know in this business you've got to sell yourself, but the intrusion into your private life when you're in a soap is mind-blowing.'

Trivia: Coulson married her on-screen daughter Patsy Palmers brother Harry Harris in 2002.

Anne Reid (Actor) .. Harriet Clifford

Born: May 28, 1935 in Newcastle upon Tyne

Best Known For: Coronation Street and dinnerladies.

Early-life: Born May 28, 1935, in Newcastle. The majority of her family worked in the newspaper industry, including her father, grandfather and uncle; her three brothers followed in their footsteps. When her father was made the Daily Telegraph's special correspondent for the Middle East, she was sent to boarding school in Wales and only saw her parents during the summer holidays. It was while at school that her acting talent was spotted and she was encouraged to audition for Rada.

Career: Reid started out as a stage manager, then worked in rep. Her first TV work came alongside Benny Hill, but it was playing Ken Barlow's tragic wife Valerie in Coronation Street for 10 years that turned her into a household name - more than 18 million viewers tuned in to see her character die in 1971. She later took a break from acting to raise a family, but returned in the 1980s, cropping up in several popular TV shows before showing her comedy prowess in dinnerladies in 1999. In the years since, Reid has landed some fantastic roles that have enabled her to show off her range as an actress. She was particularly daring in 2003's The Mother, in which her character had an affair with Daniel Craig. She's since appeared in Upstairs, Downstairs, Five Days, New Tricks, Doctor Who, Marchlands, In Love with Barbara, Moving On, Song for Marion and Last Tango in Halifax.
