He's a bit Pete Beale, this guest with the 'tache Johnny Shannon see previous post Don't remember him - was he basically rent-a-Cockney? Blimey dintchoo watch tv in the 70s? He was on The Sweeney, Z Cars, The Professional. On film: Perfirmance, Quadrophenia To name but a few Quadrophenia? But he wasn't Ace Face... Personally, no, I didn't see much 70's tv. And I never understand how you people had/have so much time to watch it. You had to MAKE time. Or multitask - i.e. have it on during homework |

Jean Sanderson in full flight. And to think, just a few months later, Thatcher walked through the door of 10 Downing Street. Life imitates art... |

Basil's desperation can only be measured by the fact that he needs to recruit the Major to the core team of those involved in his 'ruse'. |
