Shelley Fan Tributes

6 Eddie from Australia: My favorite episode is the one where Shelly meets a nutter in a Cafe and tries to explain the big bang theory to him plus his wife doing here exercises and the nutter gets it all mixed up telling Shelly's Landlady all about his wife having a big bang on the kitchen table.

5 jim from australia: the classic line "a lot of people have compared jeffery archer to shakespere... I agree, neither have written anything worthwhile for the last one hundred years"

4 Alison Davies from Worksop Nottinghamshire: I just loved this show and have been a fan of Hywel's for many years - a great great actor who in my opinion is completely wasting his talents in Eastenders at the moment....

3 David G.Barron from Newport: It has to be the moment in second best man when Shelley, Ted and Phil are discussing Phil's lying and Shelley comes out with the line about Margaret Thatcher's lying, and if her nose grew with every line, there already would be a Channel Tunnel.

it just the look on their faces when shelley said it, and they had to contain themselves to carry on in the scene.

1 Steve Shelley from Telford: Need you ask? At the time it was really cool to share the same surname as this character
