1976
THE
PRINCE OF DENMARK…Ronnie
Corbett…
Ronnie is the landlord of
the above named pub and
in this episode.
I play one of twelve
Rugby playing drunks that
want to liven up the pub
for a night. We rehearsed
during the week and did
the audience show on the
Saturday night. We all
had words to say and the
show went down well. (I
get to work many more
times with Ronnie Corbett
when I work on The Two
Ronnie’s)…
WHEN
THE BOAT COMES IN…James
Bolam…

clip
I’m
cast as the First Fascist
and a good friend of
mine, Steve Ismay is the
second… Lots of
rehearsals at the North
Acton Hilton then a day
at the Centre…
DOCTOR
WHO…The
Face of Evil....Tom
Baker…Louise
Jameson…
We filmed my part of the
show at Ealing Studios.
I was booked to play a
man about to kill Leela
but the tables are turned
when Louise Jameson's
boyfriend fires an arrow
into me just as I was
taking aim on Leela. (If
you’ve got to die
it’s better being
shot by a beautiful woman
than drowning in the
Pinewood Fish Pond)…
Now a funny thing
happened during the day.
The scene is set up where
Louise is about to shoot
me and I’m under
supervision from stunt
director, Terry Walsh, on
how to fall once I am
hit. (Here’s the
plot.....)
I’m dressed in a
small loin cloth and have
to fall onto a sandy type
floor.(which was
sawdust).
We rehearse it without
the fall and it all goes
well…
Now for the
take…BANG…I
imagine I’ve been
shot with the arrow and
fall forward. As I hit
the floor my old chap
(wedding tackle) decides
it wants to leave the
comfort of the loin cloth
and play with the
sawdust.
After a good dusting down
and another take we got
it right.
Louise and I meet up
again on Eastenders…
BEFORE THE
‘’OLD
CHAP’’ WENT
WALK ABOUTS……………..
THE
TWO RONNIES
(Episode: The
Picnic)
It
was always fun to work
with The Two Ronnies
(click on the picture to
watch a clip from the
episode.
About 3 mins 30 into the
clip I am chasing a
pretty young lady...)
THE
DICK EMERY SHOW…BBC
TV…
I worked on a few of
these shows and was cast
in a couple of them.
Dick was a funny man to
work with.
I always
list the commercials I do
throughout the year at
the end of the year and
besides the beer and
other commercials the
next one stands out in my
mind. It was for American
fries or crisps or
something like that, but
someone Took a
photo…
