Fred Yule

Frederick Robert Yule (7 October 1893, Norfolk – 11 December 1982, Southend-on-Sea)[1] was an English character actor, comedian and singer, mainly known for his appearances in post-war BBC Radio programmes such as ITMA, Ray's a Laugh, Band Waggon (1947 era) and The Archers. In "Ray's a Laugh" he MAY have been the voice of a female character "Ivy", together with either Ted Ray himself or one of the Pearson brothers [a musical act]. This was postulated in an edition of "Quote,Unquote" A BBC panel game. He also provided more than one voice in a radio adaptation of "Three Men in a Boat" by Hubert Gregg. This was repeated, after many years in the archives, on BBC Radio 4 extra. His sole film appearance was in The Charcoal-Burner's Son (1939).[2]

He was married to music hall actress Doreen Monte.[3]
