Lesley Joseph (Contestant)
Born: October 14, 1945 in London
Best Known For: Birds of a Feather.
Early-life: Lesley Diana Joseph was born in London on October 14, 1945 and grew up in Northampton. At the age of seven, she made her stage debut in Hansel and Gretel at the New Theatre in Northampton. After training to be an actor at Lamda, she spent several years playing an assortment of roles at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter.
Career: Joseph made her TV debut in a 1974 episode of Wendy Craig-fronted sitcom And Mother Makes Five. She went on to make appearances in Sadie, It's Cold Outside, The Knowledge and Minder. Her big break came in 1989 when she was cast as man-eater Dorien Green in popular sitcom Birds of a Feather. It ran on the BBC until 1998 but it returned in 2012 as a stage version. The interest generated by the stage version led to ITV commissioning a new series which began airing in January 2014. Away from Birds of a Feather, Joseph has also starred in ITV soap Night and Day, appeared in a number of pantomimes, been a regular guest on Loose Women and co-hosted a radio show on BBC London 94.9 with Christopher Biggins. In 2015, she was a contestant on ITV's celebrity sheepdog trials programme Flockstars.
Quote: 'Some people say there are fewer parts for older actresses, but it doesn't seem that way at the moment. I think there has been a renaissance for older women.'
Trivia: Joseph supports Tottenham Hotspur.
Peter Polycarpou (Contestant)
Gary Wilmot (Contestant)
Henry Goodman (Contestant)
Born: April 23, 1950 in London
Best Known For: His extensive theatre career.
Early-life: Henry was born in London on April 23, 1950, one of six children. He went on to train as an actor at Toynbee Hall from the age of 14 at the Curtain Theatre & Studio Theatre and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Career: Perhaps better known as a theatre actor, Goodman has won Olivier awards for roles in Assassins and The Merchant of Venice. His other theatre credits include Everyman in his Humour, Hysteria, Guys and Dolls, Tartuffe, Fiddler on the Roof and The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. He played the role of Sir Humphrey Appleby in a stage version of Yes, Prime Minister. His film credits include Notting Hill (1999), The Damned United (2009), Taking Woodstock (2009) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). On TV, he has appeared in Cold Lazarus, Unfinished Business, Foyle's War, Nixon's the One, Yes, Prime Minister and Agents of SHIELD.
Quote: 'I learned everything about life, or a lot, at least, in the East End, selling watches on Sunday mornings in Petticoat Lane, finding so much encouragement, and Stanislavsky, at Toynbee Hall.'
Trivia: Goodman was nominated for an Olivier award for his performance in Chicago.
