From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nelson Gabriel (played by Jack May[1]) was a character in the long running BBC Radio series The Archers[2]. He was the son of Walter Gabriel, the village carrier and self appointed "character". He was for many years the most disreputable character in the village[3]. He had a shady history. He was charged with the Borchester mail-van robbery in 1967, but was eventually acquitted. After spells in London and Spain, he ran a wine bar and later an antique shop (with Kenton Archer). Finally he suddenly disappeared to South America, where he died in strange circumstances.
