Ivor Roberts (19 July 1925 – 5 September 1999) was a British actor and a television continuity announcer who often appeared in comedic roles.[1][2]

Born in Nottingham, he returned to acting following service in the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Roberts started his television career as a continuity announcer on regional television in Wales, working for TWW before that company lost its franchise in 1968.[2]

Among his better-known roles were the characters of Arnold Thomas in the 1995–97 television series Oh, Doctor Beeching! and Mr Barnes in the second, third and fourth series of You Rang, M'Lord?.[3][4] He also made a guest appearance, as a police officer, in one episode of George and Mildred.[5] Another notable appearance was as Mr. Chick in Dombey and Son.[6] He played parts in Porridge and Yes Minister.[7][8] Roberts died in Cardiff, Wales, in 1999, at the age of 74.[1]
