Which of her stage appearances do you already have listed? There was a Life with the Lyons stage show at Blackpool in 1952.

Many thanks, but they are the plays that I have been able to get infomation on... I would like to get hold of more infomation on Opedius (Chicester Festival with Keith Mitchell) and Murder Mistaken...... Also would anyone happen to have infomation on the Untransmitted tv series "The Unusal Miss Mulberry" for re-diffusion? I have created a group on Facebook called "Re-Introducing Diana Dors" the support I have recieved so far about the website has excellant, and a huge amount of that has come from the states......So if you are a Facebook user please join.....

what an interesting article.....I was always lead to believe that the play recieved great notice, and Diana 's acting was highly praised even by Lord Olivier...... Does anybody on the forum possess any infomation on the never transmitted series

The Unusual Miss Mulberry
and
The Inquistors (The Peeling of Sweet P)

The unusual Miss Mulberry had six episodes filmed, I would be interested if there is anyone in the know who might know what happened to them or where they maybe stored......

Also was the play "Three Months Gone" ever televised, I know that it was filmed as there is a clip of it on Youtube - it would be interesting to see the whole play, and see Diana's performance

If it helps, Murder Mistaken co-starred Alan Lake and is the play that Cast a Dark Shadow is based on. It doesn't seem to have come into the West End (I can't find any reviews but you could check the 1975 issues of The Stage )

Hello! Today I recieved through the post a vintage magazine from 1965 containing an interview with Diana Dors. It was stated in the closing sentances that Diana was due to start filming "Life at the top", which was the follow up to "Room at the Top". As I know you are all film buffs on this forum, I'm sure most of you know that in the end Diana never appeared in the film, what I would like to know is why? and could anyone please provide me with the charachters name she was going to play......

Also in my quest I'm trying to track down details of the untransmitted "The Unusual Miss Mulberry" - it was filmed for Re-Diffusion in 1965, I think in total there had been 6 episodes filmed. If anyone can help I'll will be forever in your debt.

Also and finally I would really be interested in hearing from anyone eho may have worked with Diana in the past......Please get in contact!!!

Thank you!!!

Hello Folks

I'm hoping that some in Britmovie Land will be able help me out, as I'm sure most of you know I am developing a new website on Diana Dors, I have discovered that Dors appeared in two TV plays "A Taste Of Honey and The Misfit", I think they were on the BBC in the early 70's and I'm really hoping somebody maybe able to help me with infomation such as a synoposis and cast lists - any help would be greatly appriciated. Also does anyone have any info on "The unusual Miss Mulberry and The peeling of Sweet P (The Inquisitors)" now both these were untransmitted, so infomation will be rare, but if you can help please get in contact.

Finally I would be interested to hear from anyone who may have worked with Dors in either films, tv or in the Theatre, I would be grateful if you share your stories......

Apologises for the lateness of this snippett. 23rd October was the 78th Birthday of the British Blonde Bombshell herself, Diana Dors. The remembrances on my Facebook group page "Re-Introducing Diana Dors", still proves time and time again, how loved she still is, and how highly regarded she also is, and than she never really has been replaced....

The first time I saw Diana Dors on TV - this would have been about 1970 - was when she was a guest on The Golden Shot and the host, Bob Monkhouse, couldn't seem to take his eyes off her ample charms.

If you and Bob thought her charms were impressive in 1970 you should have seen them in the early 50s...

I've read somewhere that Bob Monkhouse actually lost his virginity to Diana Dors. It can't get better than that for a young man.

Somehow she still retained her sexiness and charm right up to the end of her screen career, which was as an 'agony aunt' on TV-AM.

When you understand the past, the confusion of the present becomes clearer - John Betjeman.

Indeed not. Did Diana Dors and Bob Monkhouse have an affair, or was their union just a one night fling?

Sean, I have just posted my small collection of Diana Dors stills to the Sexiest Actresses thread on this forum (page 169).

It occurred to me that you might want these stills for your new website. If so, tell me and I'll send them to you.
