Fri, 29 Aug 2025

My mother, Juliet Ace, who has died aged 87, was one of the original writers for the TV soap EastEnders and a prolific playwright specialising in radio drama.

She wrote two films for S4C (Llygad y Ffynnon, 1994, and Cameleon, 1997), more than 40 radio plays and many episodes of The Archers. She was nominated for a Welsh Bafta and twice for Sony awards. Her final radio play for BBC Radio 4 was Moving the Goalposts, broadcast in 2020, which told the story of her survival of stage four spinal cancer.
