![]() I’ve had so many lovely scenes to play as Justin. What has been your favourite scene to play so far as Justin? We’ve played together many times and she always has a gentle way of keeping my acting on track and stops me messing about. I love working with Lucy, she has a wonderful eye for the truth. I hope though that people will have some sympathy for Miranda (perhaps she is really insecure or had a miserable childhood) - she surely must have a vulnerable side. My real-life wife, Lucy Fleming, could not be more different to Justin’s frightful partner, Miranda and she has loved creating the bitchiness of her. What is it like playing a married couple (Justin and Miranda) alongside your real-life wife Lucy Fleming? Have you ever been in this situation before? She’s funny and clever - sexy too - and their relationship seems to have all the hallmarks of real love….but you never know, do you? Does Justin really love Lilian? Has he made the right decision in choosing her over Miranda?ĭifficult to say if Justin was right to leave his wife Miranda, she seems to have so few redeeming qualities, but he found in Lilian a soulmate. Lilian’s been a good influence on him, his ruthlessness and his bad manners. Life with Miranda had hardened his attitude to people and money. I think that Lilian has helped him find a sweeter side to his nature. Now you’ve got to know Justin more, what do you think of him?Īs with James Bellamy I’ve grown to like Justin, he is a much kinder more human man than I first thought. ![]() I had no idea as Justin arrived in Ambridge that he was going to rent the Dower House and fall in love with its gorgeous owner, Lilian Bellamy. You climb aboard and wait to see which way the writers will take you. Joining The Archers team is a magical mystery tour (not unlike real life), you never know what’s round the corner or what path you and your character are going to take. When Justin first arrived in Ambridge did you have any idea that he and Lilian would become engaged? Did you have any predictions for him? My first thought about Justin Elliott was that it was ironic that at the beginning of my fifty years as an actor I played a similar character, Captain James Bellamy in Upstairs Downstairs - he too was privileged and seemed unsympathetic at first.Īt the outset I doubted Justin’s motives - I feared he was just a greedy capitalist out to exploit Ambridge and line his pockets - he had plans regarding the Route B road that weren’t in anyone’s interest but his own. What were your first impressions of Justin?
