I seem to remember St. Shuggs had an affair with him. Is it my imagination? Do you know any more?
Ben Warner, in his 40s, chipped tooth, shaved head, wearing kaftan - agressive and unapproachable according to TBOTA, but I thought he was a ludicrously aging (but well-acted) hippy. Jackie Woodstock and Shula had affairs with him.
Shula caught him stealing from Blossom Hill Cottage, and acted very prissily about it. He was arrested, and "pleaded guilty to 5 counts of burglary."

My poor old memory plays all sorts of tricks with me these days so you'll have to make allowances. I remember Ben Warner as the bloke Shula was shacked up with in a cottage in Penny Hasset. I've been racking my brains for the actor's name but I can't remember. He was in a television series with Dirty Den from East Enders.

Thank you cos. Brown bread now iirc.
Yes, Reggie. He died of throat cancer, something very obvious from his last television appearances.
In RL he was married to Shirley Stelfox who now plays Edna Birch in Emmerdale. She was Rose in the first series of Keeping Up Appearances.
Don Henderson was also Bulman who first appeared in The XYY man and then got his own series. Bulman always wore white gloves and the series was one of the first things I remember seeing Siobhan Redmond in. The thing with Leslie Grantham was called The Paradise Club.

Thanks for the reminders!
So St. Shuggs is not quite so saintly then.

Absolutely.
The doc was Richard and Neil deflowered her in a cornfield (don't let let anyone tell you diferent).
Not forgetting:
Simon Parker, the Echo's finest.
A agricultural student (Bill?) who was pretty sniffy about Phil's pride and joy, his herringbone milking parlour
Simon Parker (that inky blighter) deflowered her - "I've always wanted to make love to a beautiful woman in the middle of a cornfield...." "Well, I'm a farmer's daughter, on the edge, perhaps?" "I've got a rug in the car....."
****
Also, let's not forget that Nigel is another ex of Shula's. There is fundamental disagreement on whether Shula and Neil dunnit, but bearing in mind the way she treated him in the rest of their relationship, I think probably not.
I've been listening to TA longer than I wish to think about, but I had forgotten just much the saintly churchwarden "put it about" so to speak.
[Said in a non-judgemental way]
What did Phil 'n' Jill think?
bob
I don't think that Phil and Jill ever suspected. Evidently they have passed the unsupecting gene on to David.
Just remembered Mr. Jones, as well!
[snigger]
and Eric Selwyn. Looked him up and came across:
plummy Charles Hodgson
Jeremy of the soft-top convertible
Robin Catchpole
Pedro from Spain
Martin Lambert the vet

And don't forget the Massed Bands of the Royal Marines.

There is a slightly nasty aspect to Manuel having been a paramour of Shula. He was played by her radio pa. So I prefer to think it was just a platonic relationship, and that he looked a lot like Andrew Sachs in Fawlty Towers.
I don't know about the Maased Bands of the Marines but I've remembered the entire gang of NZ sheep shearers including the female (Michelle?) with whom Shula ran off, allegedly to see the world.
Michele Brown I think. Went out with David.
Tried to start a Union branch at Grey Gables, upset Jack Woollley. Yep.

Phil & Jill used to agonise over Shula. When she went off with the sheepshearing girl & travelled to the Antipodes they were v worried, I seem to remember.
Shugs travelled a lot in those days: she got mugged or similar once & they had to send her money to get home.
They certainly did worry about her PB but IIRC their worry centred on whether she was safe rather than whether she was trying to get into the Guinness Book of Records for number of partners.

<she got mugged or similar once & they had to send her money to get home.>
think she ran out of dosh and was found working as an exotic dancer in Bankok under the nom de plume of Lulu (I'm sure this is correct but cannot find a reference at present)
Are you thinking of when shula went to New Zealand with Nick Wearing, and he abandoned her in Bankok, and she was robbed of money, passport and stuff?
She was wired the money home, and appeared looking pale and interesting ("Oh, Shula!").
I'm so shocked I need to go and lie down. Honestly, our sainted Shoe, being so norty.

Yes, that's the one Rosie T.
I wish she'd get a hankering for foreign parts now & go on a long, long trip...
