Beryl Reid Online

For all things Beryl Reid! Beryl's authorised biography 'Roll Out the Beryl!' is now avaliable to buy from or Amazon!

[Paul Simmonds @Paulus196]

@BerylReidOBE One of my favourite people to watch on TV. When you saw her you just knew it was going to be fun.

[Beryl Reid Online @BerylReidOBE]

'Blankety Blank' was one of Beryl's favourite TV shows to do, though it often wasn't financially worth her while. Mostly because if she got the 'Supermatch' answer wrong, she'd feel guilty and spend her appearance fee buying the prize to give to the contestant! #BerylReid

Back in 1981 there was no Netflix, but you could tune in to Blankety Blank followed by The Day of The Triffids on BBC1. Dug this up on VHS.

Thinking of dearest Beryl who passed away on this day in 1996 at the age of 77. Remembered fondly and, as always, with So Much Love.

Please consider supporting this wonderful cause which I know Beryl would campaign like mad for. When asked her favourite role? Kath in 'Entertaining Mr Sloane'. When asked her favourite playwright? The great Joe Orton. #JoeOrtonStatue

[Joe Orton Statue Appeal @JoeOrtonStatue]

We are nearly 2/3 of the way through the campaign but have only reached 1/3 of our target so far.

If you have already pledged, thank you. But can you help further by directly asking one person you know to pledge today?

We can still make this happen.

@SiHunt1234 Thankyou for letting me know about this Si - I managed to get a bootleg recording of these when I was working on B's biography and loved them. (The BBC were a little naughty and told me they had been wiped!) So relieved to find they haven't been & they're able to be heard again x

[Beryl Reid Online @BerylReidOBE]

Other friends to be honoured with feline namesakes included Sir Harry Secombe, Dame Eileen Atkins, Ronnie Corbett, Harry Andrews, Jack Tripp and Jimmy Edwards! Many thanks to the BBC for making these episodes available again in the year of Beryl's centenary.

[Beryl Reid Online @BerylReidOBE]

BBC Radio 4 Extra have these fabulous programmes available for just a little while longer. Hosted by one of Beryl's closest friends, Dame Siân Phillips, Beryl was on top form as she reminisced about her remarkable career. Enjoy!

These were recorded at Honeypot in 1992 with Beryl laid up in bed & Siân taking charge of the tape recorder! They became firm friends over the years, appearing in Gigi together at the Lyric in 1985. As she always did with her best pals, Beryl even named a kitten in Siân's honour.

@BerylReidOBE What a wonderful actress. She was so versatile going from comedy to high drama. I especially loved “The killing of sister George”
