Default The Body Stealers
Caught this recently on some obscure channel. Hilarious dialogue, bad (or in some cases no) acting and very limited special effects, but I had to watch it.

The end credits were curious. The main female star, Hilary Dwyer, was missing completely (though she was certainly over the main titles), the character actor Johnny Wade was credited as Johnny Wilde, Larry Dann was Larry Dan and Carol Hawkins was Carolanne Hawkings. Actually I know she has been credited as Carolanne Hawkins, but the addition of the "g" looks like carelessness. And, I didn't actually notice her in the film! There was a girl in a scene at the beginning of the film, with Patrick Allen, that looked nothing much like her but I suppose could have been. Anybody seen it and can tell me?

Isn't this Carol Hawkins? (you're quite correct about the credits)

She does commentaries for those on the latest dvds. I say commentaries - more giggling 'What am I wearing?' for 90 minutes. It's quite endearing though. She shagged Vila in Blake's 7

The Body Stealers is one of the worst British SF movies ever made. I've never got over Patrick Allen's cardigan.

On the Tigon DVD Collection set which was released a couple of years ago. It included The Body Stealers and a commentary from Patrick Allen. Quite interesting to hear actors and producers etc discuss their memories/thoughts of the film etc
