"MR. RUMBOLD" TO VISIT AETN

"Nicholas Smith, who starred for over twenty years as Mr. Rumbold on ARE YOU BEING SERVED, will visit the AETN studios on Saturday, August 22.

Fans are invited to a special meet & greet to be held at the station at 3 p.m. Tickets for the event are $25 each and may be obtained by calling toll-free 1-800-662-2386 or online at  http://www.aetnfoundation.org/boxoffice . Mr. Smith will be interviewed and will entertain the audience with a few numbers on the piano. He will then take questions from the audience. Afterward, he will be available to sign autographs.

Smith has been a star of the stage and screen since 1961 and has appeared in DOCTOR WHO and had guest roles in THE AVENGERS, THE SAINT, THE LIVER BIRDS and THE CANTERBURY TALES among others. But it's the role of Cuthbert Rumbold on ARE YOU BEING SERVED that endeared him to American audiences. More recently, he provided the voice of Reverend Hedges in the animated major motion picture WALLACE & GROMIT IN THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT and appeared in a 2007 tribute to actor John Inman."
