Default Damaris Heyman And Julian Orchard

Damaris Heyman and Julian Orchard were always on telly in the sixties and seventies two of many of those know the face but not the name actors who supported comedians in various shows.

Julian Orchard worked with Harry Secombe on his bbc shows in the seventies and Damaris Heyman appeared with Les Dawson on Sez Les for YTV.

Of coures there were many others who frequently popped up on such shows, Michael Sharvel Martin, Roland Mcleod, Rita Webb, Norman Chappell and then there were the ones who became household names like Nicholas Parsons, Herny Mghee and Bob Todd.

I saw Damaris Heyman being interviewed on a Youtube clip taken from a Tony Hancock documentary, she apeared to be very warm and caring about Tony, I was very touched.

Damaris is truly a remarkable lady - she has the most amazing memory for all of the stuff she has worked on over the years. You start her off on a thread and she can give you a complete run down of how things happened. When I met her after an interview I complimented her about how interesting it was to hear such clear recollections. She signed my event brochure, "Damaris 'Total Recall' Hayman!"

Lovely lady and, like the late Pattie Coombes, seems to have worked with everyone who was anyone in the golden age of British television...

Wasn't Damaris 'adopted' by Margaret Rutherford?

The received Whovian wisdom is that she's wearing an old cloak of Rutherford's in The Daemons

That's common knowledge, but I have read on several occasions that Damaris Hayman was adopted by Margaret Rutherford and Stringer Davis.
