Description
Desmond Carrington is a UK-based actor and broadcaster, currently best known for his weekly show on BBC Radio 2. His show went out on Sundays for 23 years from 1981 to 2004, when it moved to Tuesdays - then to Fridays. He currently lives in Perthshire, Scotland. Carrington's first professional stage appearance was in 1942, when he played Cockney schoolboy Roberts in James Hilton's play Goodbye, Mr. Chips at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham, opposite Noel Johnson, as Mr Chips - Johnson was the radio voice of Dick Barton. Carrington was conscripted into the army a year later. At the end of World War II, he joined a British Forces Broadcasting Service radio station in Ceylon. He returned to the UK a few years later and worked as a radio producer as well as acting in a couple of films and on TV, where he became well known as Dr Anderson in Emergency-Ward 10. He also starred in two of the thirteen A Case For Dr. Morelle radio shows, in 1957, with Cecil Parker as the lead. With Spencer Hale, Carrington presented Movie-go-round on the BBC Light Programme on Sunday afternoons in the 1950s.
