Shane Ritchie also used to present a kids game show called Run the Risk. I think Trevor and Simon used to come on it too and it used to be on during Going Live.

Les Battersby appeared as one of the people who auditioned in The Full Monty.

Who can forget Emmerdale's Louise playing Home and Away's ditzy Marylin Chambers/Fisher?

Liz Brice (Pat Kerrigan in Bad Girls) was in the original The Worst Witch film with Diana Rigg, Tim Curry and Fairuza Balk. She played a character called Zoe Chant-Vestry.

Corrie's Claire Peacock can be seen in ITV3's repeats of Peak Practice playing the daughter of the bloke who runs the pub, her brother is none other than Emmerdale's Robert Sugden.

I think you mean Casualty. The actress is called Barbara Marten.

I knew i recognised her!

Ray Brooks (Joe in EE) was in a TV series Big Deal and was the voiceover for King Rollo.

She was Sister Eve Montgomery in Casualty and she pops up occasionally as DCI Jack Meadows wife , Laura in The BIll.

But regardless of what anyone says, Elizabeth Estensen is still the best. So far, I've found her credited with:

T-Bag (First 5 series)
The Liver Birds
Danger: Marmalade at Work

As well as bit parts in:

Casualty
Coronation Street
Pie in the Sky
Cracker
Last of the Summer Wine

Oh the comedy goddess! (And it's my 50th post!)

She is also the wife of DCI meadows in the Bill. Eileen worked behind the bar in the Pub frequented by the prostitutes in Band of Gold. Eileen played a dozy kitchen worker in Dinnerladies and a Police sergeant in ' The Cops'

Marlon Dingle was a monk in Cadfael. l

Bob Hope was a detective in Prime Suspect.

A young Alan Turner was a pilot in the Dambusters and a heartthrob doctor in Emergency ward 10.

Family Affairs has loads of recycled actors:
Eileen was Donna Tucker in Sodier, Soldier
Chrissy was Anna Wolska in Brookside and Maggie Bolton in Heartbeat
Gary was in Hollyoaks, Minder as Ray Daley and Eastenders as Graham Clark
Cat was in Eastenders as Debbie Bates
Myra was in May to December and Love Thy Neighbour
Conrad was D.O.Griggs in London Burning
Babs was Jan Howard in Howards Way
Pete was Pat Hancock in Brookside.

No wonder they look so familiar. Perhaps it should be called Familiar Affairs!!

He was also did the narration for Mr Ben

Peter Martin (Len in Emmerdale) played an expectent father who chatted to Ray Langton in 1977 whilst Toxic Tracy was being born.

June Brown played a small part in a Coronation Street epsidoe in 1970!

She used to play Sheila Grant's sister in Brookside (showing my age there )

patrick from EE was in an episode of only fools and horses he put on a bet with dell boy.
and totally off subject but George clooney was once in an episode of the golden girls playing one of their grandsons

Patrick from eastenders was in the Thin Blue Line also Paul from Emmerdale popped up in a episode of My Family he was a waiter that the daughter fell in love with at her wedding reception. The daughter from My Family was also in Eastenders.

and on thats obscure note...veronica from shameless was a dosey slightly blokey dinnerlady too!

Elaine Lordan (EE's Lynne Slater) was in a couple of episodes of Gimme Gimme Gimme as Lindy's sister, Sugar Walls.

June Brown was also in an episode of Doctor Who.

Patrick from EE was also in Love Thy Neighbour of course.

Paul from EE (Gary Beadle) has been in countless comedies, ranging from The Young Ones, Not The Nine O'Clock News, to Operation: Good Guys.

Paul Bradley from Holby City (and Nigel in EE) was in The Young Ones too (and was the burgler who got sellotaped to the ceiling in Bottom ).

He was also Joe in the Royle Family. And Kirk off Corrie played Darren, Eddie Yeates was Twiggy (as well as Onslow in Keeping Up Appearances) and Sally Lindsay played his girlfriend.

Plus Jim and Barbara Royle used to be Bobby and Sheila Grant in Brookie.

Jarvis was in Corrie many years ago - 1976! - as Renee Bradshaw's fiancee who was in the navy. He was also in an episode of Heartbeat a few years ago playing a very unpleasant character!

Betty from Emmerdale played a posh landlady friend of Annie Walker's in the 70's. Seth was a councillor also in Corrie in the 70's. It was just after that he joined Emmerdale.

Maud Grimes was a fellow councillor of his at the same time - but that's really in the 'how many characters in the same soap has someone played' category!

Edna from Emmerdale was a very glam woman who ran a video dating agency in the 80's in Corrie. Bet went to see her ... which led to Jack and Vera being paired up to meet!

The sister in the hospital looking after Deirdre when Toxic was born was Megan in Casualty.
