Sighted: Ah There You Are!

[Gerald Lovell]

A dusting of our stars in Stardust (1974):


Credited, but with no role attribution, Marjorie Yates as an eager waitress with Adam Faith


Colin Rix as a jaundiced recording engineer with little patience


David Healy as a nightclub comedian with corny material (plus Derek Chafer and Jay McGrath)


Don Hawkins as a sarcastic television promoter with no faith in Adam.

[Gerald Lovell]

Onto the uncrediteds and at the Edgwarebury Hotel reception, John Tatum looks as happy as usual to be there. At least he's wearing one half of his brown suit


The hanger-on with Peter Duncan is Jim Delaney


A photographer on the plane is Harry Van Engel, plus Rick Lester left background as David Essex's bodyguard. Richard LeParmentier right foreground.

[Gerald Lovell]

Minus his hat as he's at a funeral is Harry Phipps


Charlie Gray fails to notice pop star David


We can notice press photographers in the centre, Alan Harris and Gerald Paris. But to their left, just in shot, is Guy Standeven


At the cemetery, it's Terry Sartain who's the extra photographer jumping out of the Jag, determined to get there before the hearse.

[Gerald Lovell]

The pallbearers include Byron Sotiris (with out of shot Roy Lansford) . . .


. . . and also Sonnie Willis


And then back to David Healy apparently not dying a death in front of Dennis Plenty and Bunny Seaman despite his material. Keith Moon having fun in the background too


Charles Adey-Gray is having fun too.

[Gerald Lovell]

Finally, a couple more hangers-on:


Not Larry Hagman or Richard, but just coming into shot on the right, Walter Henry . . .


. . . and he's chatting to the more savvy Ron Gregory who turns to look right at the camera. Crafty Ron.

[Gerald Lovell]

Back to NEW SCOTLAND YARD for its third series (1973) and although the question is "Where's Harry?":


But there's Stuart Fell helping Harry (Derek Newark) to break out of clink


Down Bill Treacher's Camel's Head, the balder head near the bar is Paul Phillips (Barry Jackson next to him is working on it) and Leslie Bryant gets in by a nose further round

As Barry eyes up the local talent - I think it's Charles Pickess with her - there's the inevitable Eden Fox with Paul and also Alf Mangan propping up the bar


When the rozzers arrive to accost Barry, led by Richard Vanstone, it's Emmett Hennessy on the left ready to take down anything he says.

[Gerald Lovell]

Then Chief Supt. John Woodvine briefs his underlings:


Looks like Ken Tracey here


And of course David Rolfe here


Back in the Camel's Head, gaunt head Anthony Lang has turned up


And out in the woods police dog handler on the right Patrick Milner hopes to turn up something else even more gruesome.

[Gerald Lovell]

Finally, possibly less gruesome but more ribald, is the joke Bob E. Raymond has just told Bill:

[philly]

A good haul there Gerald for a TV episode, not 100% i am only just getting used to the Equity extras but i was thinking James Haswell when i first saw the cap identified as Charles Pickess.

You are probably right, philly, the hairline is more like James Haswell.

Contributing to The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom (1968):


A cross Chelsea Pensioner played by an elderly Norman Fisher


It's not a nasty smell but a nasty dog that causes Pat Ryan to make a smart exit from a lift at Harrods


Vicar Ken (William Gos(s)ling) has a big burden to bear.

[Gerald Lovell]

Richard Attenborough has his employees to bear, including Bryan Mosley at the back, plus Frank Thornton, Marianne Stone, Patricia Routledge and, a second earlier, a microphone boom


Bunter has a party, and I think he has John Doye at it


There's an even bigger party he throws at Alexandra Palace and Fred Stroud is there to photograph it all.

[Gerald Lovell]

As it's Alexandra Palace, they're on creaky old black and white TV, including Ernest C. Jennings


Even the police press their way in, including Mike Jarvis


And more angels, including Phil Parkes, who is also one of the Blossom employees in an earlier scene.

[Gerald Lovell]

It's All Over Town in 1963 that these folk are hiding within the Palladium:


Robin Burns and a parrot and Patricia Hayes and a headscarf


Martin Lyder and Harry Van Engel somehow enjoying Frankie Vaughan's high kicks at the Bunny Club


Ivan Santon ready to enjoy more standard high jinks there - he has binoculars at the ready


Joe Phelps too, and he has his camera with him.

[Gerald Lovell]

The blind eye of the law:


Mr. Justice Lance Percival doesn't see P.C. Ernest Fennemore being the recipient in an act of bribery


Change of act and Peter Avella on the right helps to clear away the scenery


Alf Mangan and previously-sighted Maxwell Craig try to avoid chewing the painted scenery as Dusty and the Springfields are "Down and Out".
