here are two articles in t.v mags this week
Looks Familiar
It was a case of deja vu when Doctors star Ben Jones, 33, moved in to his Georgian flat in south-west london with new wife Milly
Close friends used to live in this flat before us and we spent many happy hours here chatting, drinking and listening to music before we ever moved in! We always loved the Georgian architecture, the big rooms, the huge windows, the stripped wooden floors and the peaceful feeling in the flat. We said we wanted first refusal if our friends ever moved out.
When they decided to go a year ago, they kept their word and it was all organised with the owner before it was advertised for rent. Luckily it has lived up to our expectations and we've made it feel like our own. The size of the living room is particularly good and that's where i spend a lot of my time, whether it's socialising, playing the guitar or learning my lines.
We've stamped our own personality on the decor, which is a mixture of dark wood, original paintings and oriental touches. I'm part Malaysian on my mother's side along with some Sri Lankan and Portuguese blood, and Welsh on my father's side. When i was growing up we lived in places as far afield as Hong Kong and the Isle of Man. The Isle of Man is a really magical place, which many Brits just don't know about. It's got mountains, valleys, glens, forests and vines.
The Malaysian screen above the first place has been around for years and my sister and i had a bit of a fight about who was going to have it. My father said if we didn't agree, he'd split it down the middle and that shut us up! My sister and i have agreed to share it, but it's my turn to have it first.
Most of the paintings on the walls are by Milly (or Emily Croft-Baker as she's also known). Milly's just started up her own fashion label, Nooria, with some friends, so this room is a hive of artistic activity.
I recently got married to Milly, and had a traditional English wedding but with Eastern food. My father Noel is a bishop, and he actually married us, which was fantastic. At some point we'll save up and buy a place but i'm not sure we could afford this one, so we're staying for the moment.
theres also some picture of stuff he own's, i will try and post up some pictures later but they inclue a novel written by his siter Vanessa Jones, a painting by Christoper Timothy's wife Annie and a medal to prove he ran the London Marathon with Steven Hartley.
that article appeared in the TV Quick for 3 - 9 september 2005
and here's another from TV Choice
Doctors Orders
Popular daytime soap Doctors returns with a new series this week.
There were sad farewells when the staff at GP practise The Mill said goodbye to Ben and Nathan at the end of the last series.
Now Doctors is back and there are sure to be more dramas among the staff, as well as the patients.
Receptionist Sarah Finch was one person who was upset when Nathan left. The pair had eventually got together - but after BEn finally put his court case behind him, he decided to leave town. And Nathan agreed to go with him.
"Sarah;s been unlucky in love" says Andrea Green, who plays her. "The new series will see her invovled with new doctor Jimmi. He has a lot of secrets and things start to come out about him"
the past 18 months have been a whirlwind for the 25-year-old actress. On her first day on the Doctors set she met cameraman Ben and the pair married last December in Sri Lanka.
"It happened so quickly. We really hit it off on my first day and I remember thinking 'now he's nice, but we don't want any of that. I must conentrate on my hob!'
"I never wanted a big wedding. My mum and sister and Ben's mum came with us. It was really intimate and we hada lovely holiday as well. But we were lucky as we had originally planned to marry on 29th december but changed it to 9th december so we missed the Tsunami"
And after the excitment of getting married, Andrea won the Best Newcomer award at an awards ceremony ealier this year.
"I was over whelmed. I'd been to the event the year before but I hadn't been seen on screen yet. I remember sitting there thinking how amazing it would be to win Best Newcomer the following year. And then I did"
"I've given my trophy to my mum. It's got pride of place on her fireplace, so that everyone sees it as they go into her house!"
I will also try and add up the photos for this interview as well.
