[QUOTE="J. R.'s Piece, post: 239596, member: 12"] Richard Thorp had featured in a lovely moment in The Avengers when lead Julie Stevens fluffed introducing John Steed three times in a row and Patrick Macnee covered with “Call me Bert!” and shaken Richard Thorp’s hand. I’d seen Kenneth Haigh, Coral Atkins and Vincent Ball in lots of things. Paul Whitsun-Jones (The Purser) popped up in lots of my favourite sixties and seventies shows. Joel Fabiani beat him up on Department S. He was two villains on Doctor Who. Sadly just two years after Whodunnit?, he was dead at the age of fifty. Laurence Hardy, I was watching in The Avengers and Public Eye recently. Ivor Salter popped up as an assassin from Drake’s Department in Danger Man, in an episode where Drake is lied to by his superiors and someone gets murdered as a result. He was a villain in the first episode of Adamant Lives!, where the title character wakes up in 1966 after being frozen for 64 years. Still in his thirties at the age of 99. Ferdy Mayne was one of the most frequent guest stars in the ITC series, beginning in the mid-fifties and going through to the 70s, turning up in nearly twenty of them. And he appeared on the first season of Dynasty too. Geoffrey Burridge, I’ve seen in a few dramas and he guest starred in the first episode of the final series of Blake’s 7. They end up with his character’s base and ship, while he, like most Blake’s 7 guest stars, ends up dead. George Sewell starred in the last two series of Special Branch with Patrick Mower. They had worked together before on Gerry Anderson’s UFO, where Sewell had been second billed but then quietly dropped at the insistence of ITC New York, who said to drop the guy with the pock-marked face.. He was never told that he was dropped. They just didn’t invite him back. Patrick Mower had starred in series three and four of Callan but they dropped him and killed him off during series four, just after bringing Anthony Valentine back. Which caused a public outcry and caused Mower’s car to be defaced. The day after his exit aired, he was asked to fly to an interview with Eamonn Andrews. Andrews tried to get him to shave off the beard he had grown for the play he was now in, but Mower refused, as he needed it that night. Edward Woodward comes across quite warm in interviews. As in you could point the camera at him and he could tell good stories for a half hour without a break. I’ve got some interview stuff of his. And he did perform in The Edward Woodward Hour. [/QUOTE]
