Sighted: Ah There You Are!

[Tigon Man]

Trevor Preston's series Fox, features a couple of familiar faces from the episode If It's good Enough For New Orleans It's Good Enough for Clapham, shot in 1979



Good old Reg Thomason leads the funeral cortege and creeping in at the back Gerry Judge.
The Fox family members are Elizabeth Spriggs, Rosemary Martin, Derrick O'Connor, Bernard Hill, Eamon Boland, Larry Lamb and Richard Weinbaum

I have recently watched Steptoe and Son TV Series in conjunction with Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's book 'Steptoe and Son', the book contains handy uncredited cast lists. The cast lists will taken from BBC paperwork (Pasb's), on a couple of rare occasions here an actor can appear who is not listed in paperwork, maybe they are a late replacement for a 'no-show'

Steptoe and Son

A Star is Born (1972)

Man in Crowd in Dressing Room - Hugh Elton
Appreciative Theatre Audience (in Harold's Head) - Lew Hooper, William Gossling, Lola Morice, Roy Lansford, , Martin Lyder, Eric Wetherell, Hyma Beckley, Juba Kennerley, these are probably from archive footage

Porn Yesterday (1974)

Man at Fete - Keith Ashley

[Gerald Lovell]

While AGATHA POIROT'S POIROT compromises his professional standing to a considerable degree in "The Double Clue" as far as Countess Vera Rossakoff is concerned:


Clearing up the empty teacups in the railway station canteen is waitress Jill Goldston.

As Dr. Royce Mills gives instructions to numbskulls Robin Nedwell and Barry Evans when there's "A Stitch in Time" for DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE, it appears the porter on the left we're just in time to see is John Doye. Earlier in the scene, there's a nurse who looks rather like Pauline Chamberlain, but sadly, this time it isn't.

There is Nothing Barred about me returning to this (1961) film , a Brian Rix farce, already well covered by Gerald and myself, new knowledge brings us

Warder - John Bailey
Policeman - Frank Barringer, George Crawford
Prison Visitor - Cecil Paul
Prisoner - Bob Head, Jimmy Scott

[Gerald Lovell]

There's a show to put on and an orchestra to conduct:


Records indicate it's Gaumont-British's resident musical director Louis Levy with the baton, although his appearance doesn't particularly match other images of him. Anyway, Louis is the MD on the production and composed the familiar Gainsborough Pictures signature which opens the film


Tommy worries he's about to be done now by supposed debt collector Mr. Snodgrass (Charles Paton)


At least the audience is amused and don't forget a convulsed Ian Selby on the front row, still with a decent comb-over at this point.

Jean Kent is uncredited, despite what the IMDb says, although she gets the substantial role of Kitty Kane, the Olympian Theatre secretary. The acting class students were from the Italia Conti Drama School.

It's That Man Again in 1943:


And it's tall James Ure as the man at the back of the group of angry officials outside Tommy Handley's Foaming at the Mouth Town Hall


The Imperial Theatre Commissionaire Robert Brooks Turner fears Mayor Handley has gone, but will come back


Greta Gynt proudly presents pianist Gerry Judge to impresario Claude Bailey. Don't call us, Gerry . . .


Lindsay Hooper looks on from the left as Claude believes that Raymond Glendenning is interviewing George Bernard Shaw, but it's just Jack Train in another of his "bloody" disguises.

[Gerald Lovell]

All eyes on Mimi in 1935:


Richard Bird, Harold Warrender, Carol Goodner and in the very tall top hat, Martin Walker. But small in the background, looks like even smaller Cot D'Ordan. No British film of the 1930s set in France could do without him


Café Momus waiter Leonard Sharp serves up a note from the director to M. Walker. "Your performance is even bigger than your hat"


Backstage at the National Theatre, looks like Van Boolen looking like he's bored


The drama turns to melodrama when Richard consults Doctor Patric Curwen as Puccini's violins go all quivery.

[Gerald Lovell]

A policeman very pleased with himself:


Is Les Conrad, who's put Robin Nedwell through his pink paces when DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE is "Hot off the presses".

Corrections gratefully received from philly: the sailors are in fact Joe Bartlett and Ron Watkins.

Some unattributed passengers in the Red Wagon in 1933:


Torin Thatcher as Eddie Prince who has no worries about tattooing his small son Pat Fitzpatrick


The lady on the right must be Helen Ferrers, furious about child abuse (though not Torin's ) or her sister's snoring


The lad nevertheless grows up to be big, strong and curly Charles Bickford, here bickering with big, fat and balding Francis L. Sullivan. The referee is Hay Petrie.

[Gerald Lovell]

Yes, there are some seriously dodgy costume designs by Olga Lehmann and sweet shop set designs by Bill Andrews in this film. Modelling some of the clothes here are Jack Arrow, Gerry Judge and Jim Brady with Tony Castleton popping up again. Jack manages to get above the waves somehow as he's also a sailor on the yacht in the last scene of the film


John Timberlake in the centre of the smothering set dressing looks pained. Possibly the sailors are Robert Smythe again and Ken Hutchins too.

[Gerald Lovell]

Other sweltering citizens of Templemere include Phil Parkes


But there's soon a celebration when all is back to "normal". Sailors appear to include Robert Smythe and Bill Hibbert


Robert Ryan looks worried about playing Captain Nemo, and well he might. Keeping an eye on the proceedings at the left is guard Maxwell Craig.

[Gerald Lovell]

A sighting of Reg Thomason as the Forbidden Area Guard is all I could originally eke out of Captain Nemo and the Underwater City (1969), but that was a few years ago and we've all swallowed a lot of water since then. Reg, incidentally, gets a line or two and he doesn't sound dubbed, but joining Reg in the deep:


And about to fall into it, is Kenneth Connor, supported by John Turner and guard Alf Joint


A dandier guard in the control room is Aidan Harrington, again with lines. Nanette Newman delivers her sweetly, Chuck Connors stonily and Luciana Paluzzi with some else's voice (possibly John Turner's wife Barbara Jefford)


It looks like Ann Barrass is having a game a strip poker with her gentleman friend, and it is getting hot and sweaty


This crowd feel it too (Allan Cuthbertson is fiddling with the central heating). Sitting down appears to be Hyma Beckley with Tony Castleton in front of him. Tony pitches up a couple of more times wearing different clothes on each occasion.

[Gerald Lovell]

In the swanky restaurant:


Do we get a brotherly connection with Pat Hagan on the left table and Vic Hagan on the right? The bald patch . . .

. . . certainly is attached to head waiter Louis Matto


And his brother waiter is Rex Garner with not only chops to serve, but lines to deliver


He has certainly been: Edward Malin as reflected lavatory attendant for the surely be-rugged Herr Jurgens.
