Many thanks for the reply Mark. For a long time I thought it was Philip Davis but the IMBD didn't tally. It's really only him that I remember (vaguely) apart from the music. The part is credited to John Fowler but he seems to have stopped appearing in anything much after the mid-80's. He is listed as being in Scum so maybe that'll be the easiest for me to track down to get a look at the faces.

There's a lot of them I'd like to see now. I was around early teenage years when many were broadcast. I recall Blue remembered Hills and loving it. I was going to get a Denis Potter box set but cash-flow prevented it at the time. Now I can't seem to find it. Not all these discs make it to Australia. I'm definitely going to get an all region player with the next upgrade!

Cheers again

Does anyone remember No Tram To Lime Street, circa 1958-59, or Red Sails in the Sunset, from some time in the sixties / seventies ? Both of these I believe were in the Play for Today category and were truly great viewing. Anyone got a copy? I would recommend the repeating of these two, and no doubt others, to any channel programmer who is looking to boost flagging viewer figures. Lets face it the content of some of the current output would prove a good replacement for anaesthetic.

Just recalled another cracker, Girls and Boys Come Out To Play, spooky but good viewing.
