Chicken Soap for the Soul with Elisabeth Dermot Walsh and Special Guest Peter Lloyd (Series Producer, Doctors)
This week we truly go behind the scenes and talk to one of the ‘Letherbridge Gods’ - the man whos got to decide which characters lived or died, struggled or thrived: series producer Peter Lloyd.
Elisabeth and Peter start with a short argument about Peter’s job title (he’s not a showrunner, he might settle for creative leader) but then get underway to talk about the groundbreaking storylines on Doctors, The Sofa of Tears in Peter’s office, the audition process and what to do when a storyline seems to run out of steam.
Peter may not be a famous face from in front of the camera, but if you love all things telly, then this will be a rewarding listen.

G’day everyone. You defo gonna enjoy this week on Chicken Soap for the Soul. We are stoked to be joined by none other than our Cobber and Neighbours soap legend, Lucinda Cowden. You little ripper.
Lucinda played the role of the much-loved, zany and off-kilter Melanie Pearson on Neighbours from 1987 to 1991 and then again in 2020 and in 2023.
Elisabeth and Lucinda talk about how to sound like a cross between a honking seal and a braying donkey, eating flies in the outback (crikey), about being an expat in the land of Pommies and about being cancelled - and then uncancelled again. Strewth.
Don't be a drongo, park up the bunky, open a coldie and spend the arvo listening to our best mate Lucinda Cowden on CSFTS. Good on ya mate.

This week on Chicken Soap for the Soul, we are joined by an actor who was made in Yorkshire of brilliant stuff, a man who has played a massive range of roles over the years in more TV and Films you can shake an actor's stick at: it's the extremely talented and funny Chris Walker.
From Grange Hill to Coronation Street to Brookside to The Bill and of course Doctors plus many more TV series and Movies, Chris has done it all.
Elisabeth and Chris talk about the stress of being on Celebrity Masterchef, being recognised while on a ride-along with the rozzers in Liverpool, going to work on a speedboat and his gratitude to his mentor, John Godber.
Also, it turns out Elisabeth and Chris both met the legendary actor Michael Caine and not a lot of people know that.
