I just checked an Emmerdale site the other day and discovered that Richard Thorp has been in Emmerdale for 25 years as of a fortnight ago. I think they should dedicate the current fair to Turner as a Silver Jubilee present! Turner is a great character and has been over the last 25 years, one of just three stalwarts remaining from the Emmmerdale Farm era. In spite of his ill health in recent years, he's still doing the business and it was great when Steph was around with him. Here's hoping Alan is a fixture in Emmerdale for years to come.
