    Great work, philly and MovieDude! It's in fact possibly four roles for Reg: (1) steward; (2) first class dining room waiter or patron; (3) White Star seaman and (4) this additional role.

    Another historical event, but not in such an epic production, is portrayed in THE CURSE OF KING TUTANKHAMEN'S TOMB (tx: 31.08.1980). Tom Baker has a credited role in this TV movie as Hassan, a villainous Egyptian bearer, but he sneaks into the proceedings a bit earlier on in another part:

    Tom Baker as an observer at the tomb, no doubt sweltering in the genuine Egyptian sunshine in that tweed suit and false moustache or else in the sunny company of Angharad Rees.

    Peter Hawkins provides the uncredited voice of Tut in a couple of sequences (including doing Wendy Hiller doing Tut!).

    Back into Sherwood Forest and THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. In "The Truce", Robin and the Deputy Sheriff have, well, a truce, and heralding that:


    Could this be Ned Lynch blowing his trumpet?


    Lots of applause for the music though and the tall chap towards the right at the back is certainly Gerry Judge


    And it's clearly get to the feet stuff, though not for the bloke on the right, who I still maintain is Ted Carroll. The lady in the middle looks a bit like Valerie Lush.

    Gerald with regard to my thread on former Hound of the Baskervilles star Morton Lowry, do you by any chance have a grab of him from The Adventures of Robin Hood?
    Regards

    Yes, I do, but sadly Photobucket is playing silly b*****s at the moment and is unable to recognise passwords.

    Here is Morton Lowry as the Lieutenant with a shocked Deputy Sheriff John Arnatt in "The Truce", a 1959 episode of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, although it was shown in July 1960.
    This links two versions of The Hound of the Baskervilles, as Morton was in the 1939 Rathbone version and Arnatt appeared in DOCTOR WHO with Tom Baker, who starred in a 1982 version of the tale.

    Nice one Gerald
    Morton Lowry looks in good form from the print, when he would have been aged about 45. Why his career declined so dramatically, so that he died in poverty may remain a mystery though.

    Next up in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD is "The Oath" and upon my oath:


    A thoughtful Robin goes to church, unaware that behind him in moustache is Harold Sanderson


    And when the Deputy Sheriff goes to find out if Friar Tuck has kept his oath, the hapless (and dubbed) guard on the barn door chalks up another part for George Hilsdon.

    Morton Lowry is in this one too as the Sheriff's Lieutenant and has a somewhat larger role than usual.

    Just working my way through ITV dvd David Lean boxset, watched PASSIONATE FRIENDS tonight , David Lean's appearance as a boatman (not on IMDb) is confirmed via a still. At about 109 mins during a montage of Trevor Howard one of his drinking buddies is Charles Lloyd Pack. At about 19 mins TH a lecturer, is teaching his class, to his left is a teenage Jess Conrad, no wait it can't be his birthdate is listed in most places as 1936 , 17 year old possibly but 12 no way (unless there is some D.O.B. fibbing).

    Horrors of the Black Museum (1959) has quite a few uncredited faces who have been identified previously (Frank Forsyth, Richard Caldicott, Marianne Stone and Sydney Bromley for example), but here are a few more:


    Read all about it for Fanny Carby and the newspaper seller who I think is Thomas Gallagher


    A few moments later another avid reader appears on the left, John Wilder I believe


    Down the local Waterstone's, mad author Michael Gough autographs more reading material for Mrs. Lewis Alexander (maybe Pamele Bramah) and John Harvey. Both get lines in this scene


    When it's all the fun of the fair, it's not much fun for the bobby on the left, Harold Sanderson.

    Then it's back to Nottinghamshire for THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and as we say "Goodbye Little John", there's a fight:


    As Paul Eddington and Victor Woolf get stuck in, George Hilsdon is on hand again as another outlaw


    Little John is not happy with Will Scarlett and Robin Hood, but could the outlaw looking on be William Lyon Brown? He appears in several of these episodes in different roles


    More blurry fighting, but the outlaw in the back here is surely Ned Lynch


    And it's Ned's turn to earn double bubble on this episode as here he is again as the Deputy Sheriff's courier. Morton Lowry is back as the Lieutenant (who ends up in the slammer this week). Morton has very pronounced bags under his eyes; could that be a sign of kidney problems, Tigon Man?

    Possibly Gerald, but it might just be late nights and early starts whilst working for ITC!

    Another of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD has our hero encounter "The Bagpiper". Although there is one of them here, played by Andrew Downie, the episode's title character is portrayed by Hugh McDermott. Also in the cast:


    While Sir Fulke (no, really) is another devilish role for Patrick Troughton, his steward on the left is John Abineri and the silent shadowy servant is Ned Lynch.

    Have you ever seen this very excellent comedy routine, Gerald? There's a long sequence about John 'Amabassdors of Death' Abineri.

    Carry on Admiral (1957) has a pretty decent uncredited cast list on IMDb, but here's a couple more:


    Harold Goodwin as a naval rating called Parker getting his torpedo loaded


    While Peggy Cummins and David Tomlinson get loaded in the wardroom, it looks like naval officer Victor Harrington is enjoying a bit of arm wrestling.

    There's more than one "Hue and Cry" in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, maybe because there's no screen credit for:


    George Hilsdon on the left in one of his many roles in this series, this time as a Lower Fitzwalter villager under a death sentence from Deputy Sheriff John Arnatt (who only has one other role in the series)


    Kevin Stoney is Will the Smith (sic), but one of the other sentenced villagers on the middle right is Frank Maher


    As Robin gazes down on the Deputy Sheriff and this week's lieutenant, Graham Stewart, we see on the right that crafty George Hilsdon is doubling up again


    And up to their old dogging tricks are Ned Lynch, Archie Duncan and, hopefully, William Lyon Brown.

    I'm not sure it is WLB, dissolute, but the more I see of this chap in various episodes of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, I do feel it could well be him.

    Barnacle Bill (1957) is one of the last gasps of (original) Ealing Studios - this one was in fact made at MGM British - but despite a long cast list of illustrious names, there's also:


    Victor Harrington second left among the amazed press men outside Lloyd's - maybe William Lyon Brown on the far right too?


    In a flashback sequence, we have Alec Guinness at the Battle of Jutland, but we also have Jim Brady at the right


    Still in the past, Gerald Case and William Mervyn observe an unfortunate naval attribute of Alec Guinness, but on the right five in on the line, it looks like the most appropriately-named Midshipman Guy Standeven


    More amazed acting as Harry Locke and Sir Alec find a better use for a bank, but Mrs. Lewis Alexander doesn't look too impressed


    Council elections notwithstanding, we still have a clueless Toke Townsley and Jim Tyson


    When it's time for a brave captain to do what he has to do - cotton wool and tight belt included - Irene Browne encourages, while Pauline Chamberlain gazes on Captain Guinness hero-worshippingly (is there such a word?)


    And finally as coxswain Anthony Sagar yells out his instructions Sir Alec, which are blithely ignored, it looks like the crewman on the left is our old pal George Hilsdon.
