Birthdays: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB! {Blackadder}
Aaaah BOB!
Happy belated 66th birthday to Gabrielle Glaister, born on 27 July 1960 in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire!
Blackadder fans know her best as "Bob" — she only appeared in three episodes across two series, but her performances stuck. In Blackadder II's classic episode "Bells," she played Kate, who disguises herself as a boy named Bob to find work, only for Blackadder to fall hopelessly in love with "him." She later returned in Blackadder Goes Forth as Driver Parkhurst, another character nicknamed Bob, a running joke fans still love more than 35 years on.
Before all that, Gabrielle trained with the National Youth Theatre and once played the title role in Oliver Twist opposite a young Ben Elton, long before he became one of Blackadder's writers. Her career has stretched far beyond comedy too, with roles in Brookside as Patricia Farnham, Coronation Street, Midsomer Murders, Sherlock, Unforgotten and Silent Witness, alongside steady work in theatre and radio.
Whether she's remembered as Bob, Patricia, or one of her many other roles, Gabrielle Glaister has been a fixture of British television for over four decades.
Happy belated birthday!
