Great pics everyone!.......Judith Furse sure looks scary as Dr. Crow!........I loved Ann Lynn as 'Reet' in the Sit-com 'Just good friends', she dosen't seem to have made any TV or Movie performances for over 10 years though, I guess she's retired abroad maybe?

Watching controversial 'Clockwork Orange' recently, Anthony Sharp as the Government Minister is an excellent character Actor, I recall him in an episode of Steptoe and Son.

Another character actor I simply cannot think of the name of is one who must be at least 6' tall, he looks more ex-Army Officer than Old School, he was in an episode of Fawlty Towers where they had a Gourmet evening and he had a twitch in his eye, his character was married to a tiny actress who's name I can't recall either, I recall she said "I love Duck"........any ideas?

When I worked in public libraries years ago Milton Johns was a member and I used to issue his books. He used to live in Morden the last post on the Northern line South of the river. I believe his wife used to be involved in local amateur drama productions. A quiet man who never had much to say but then why should he when picking his books to read. He was very good in sinister roles I thought but equally at home in comedy such as the annoyed neighbour in Carla Lanes "Butterflies".


As for Ken Parry, I thought of him only the other day and wondered if he was still alive and if so whether he was still acting. The last I heard of him was that he also operated as an astrologer(don't worry, I haven't got mixed up with Russell Grant he really was supposed to be into all that stuff).

Andre Marrane - made a good living on British TV in the 60s and 70s as the stock Frenchman and was famous as Andre on Fawlty Towers gourmet night and the hapless assistant Duval on the Pink Panther films.
I think that is him in When the boat comes in, playing.....a French onion seller!
