A friend and I were discussing the actor Christopher Timothy from All
Creatures Great & Small, a sort of 'where are they now?' chat. And we
neither knew nor could find out. We assume he's still alive but all
filmographies we found show 1990 as the last date, which is funny
because at the time of the last series of ACG&S he said he was happy
to do one more if it had been commissioned. So what did he do
afterwards? Is he an actor somewhere? Did he retire ?

Dear wolvies,

There is indeed no reason to believe that Christopher Timothy is dead
or has retired. Actually, he was actively involved in the following
projects after 1990:

- He was the exectuive producer of the film "The Wanderer", starring
Michael York, in 1991.

- He played in 1993 in "James Herriot's Yorkshire: The Film". And he
was also writer and co-producer of that film.

- In 1996, he was the narrator in two TV series: "Vets' School" and
"Vets in Practice".

- The year 2000 saw Christopher Timothy acting in the TV series
"Doctors", playing the character of Dr. Brendan McGuire. And he was
also the director of that series.

- Also in 2000, he was in the BBC TV show "Breakfast" as special
guest.

- And in 2002, Christopher Timothy appeared in the TV documentary
"Doctors Revealed".

Thanks for that. Do you have any idea if he is scheduled to do
anything in 2003? I think you can see why I don't like to contact
official channels on an idle question. Its a matter of interest
between me and a friend, not exactly something I think they would
appreciate time spent on... I won't pay THEM after all, only you

wolvies, lol

Dear wolvies,

Unfortunately, I did neither find any information on what Christopher
Timothy will be working on during 2003, nor if he has any projects at
all in this year. But we should not begrudge recreation to him ...
after all, he is not the youngest one anymore, is he?

Best regards,
Scriptor

Thank you :)

Christopher Timothy and Robert Hardy were superb in All Creatures
Great and Small. I was wondering what projects Timothy is currently
involved in, and it's wonderful to learn that he hasn't retired.

Dear Wolvies,

Scriptor's answers may leave you thinking that Christopher Timothy is
"resting".  But the television soap "Doctors" s/he mentions is
currently broadcast daily on BBC1 in the UK.  You can see the listing
for tomorrow's episode at:

http://www.radiotimes.beeb.com/ListingsServlet?event=10&channelId=92&programmeId=10646602&jspLocation=/jsp/prog_details.jsp

and more details about the series at:

I trust this helps.
