Today, all of us here at Silksoundbooks would like to wish a really big Happy Birthday to our star audiobook reader Geoffrey Palmer

Geoffrey was born in London on June 4, 1927. Following a brief career in business, he discovered his acting talent in amateur theater, becoming first a stage manager and then eventually a full-time performer. Like so many other outstanding British actors, he studied and acted in the great works of Shakespeare. His role as Quince in A Midsummer Night's Dream is well known to viewers of BBC Shakespeare productions.

But Geoffrey is probably most widely known for his long and vastly successful screen partnership with Dame Judi Dench in the BBC series As Time Goes By, and has had a long and successful career on British TV in hit comedies such as The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin and Butterflies. Thanks to his wonderfully expressive and resonant voice, Geoffrey is also in great demand for commercial voiceover work.

Geoffrey is one of the most popular readers at Silksoundbooks. His two unabridged audio books - The Diary of a Nobody and Father and Son - as well as his cameo appearance in Evelina are available as audio book downloads from Silksoundbooks.com

Happy Birthday Geoffrey!

Yes, Mr. Palmer is most widely known for his partnership with Dame Dench in As Time Goes By, especially, I would add, here in the USA. Oh, Sorry about the World Cup game last Saturday...Kay
