Stephen Purdon says he is "humbled" to have River City 's 20th anniversary episode focused on his character and admits it was emotional filming it.
It'll see Bob O'Hara, and best mate Angus Lindsay, played by Scott Fletcher, wake up in a parallel dimension where all is not as it seems as they come face-to-face with ghosts from Shieldinch's past. "I was quite lucky because everyone knew a Shellsuit Bob, I found it really enjoyable, it was all just about coming in and having a laugh. It was well written for me."It's humbling.
