Felicity Finch was born in the London Borough of Southwark and grew up in Eaglescliffe, Co. Durham.
For months, Felicity believed that her part was not to last long, until a script arrived in the post, containing the three words 'David kisses Ruth'.
She thought that there had been some sort of mistake in the script, so she quickly phoned up the BBC in Birmingham, to be told by the female producer 'Congratulations, you are going to marry David Archer'.
[4][5] The BBC recorded the marriage between Ruth and David on Thursday 17 November 1988, in a real church - St Mary the Virgin, Hanbury, and Felicity dressed as a bride as well; it was broadcast on Friday 16 December 1988.
[9][10] Finch has also worked as a voice-over artist and reported for Woman's Hour, also on Radio 4.
