Yay guess who's turned up in The Persuaders!?

[SiHart]

And we thought tonight's Derren Nesbitt has trumped the itc guest star game!

[Perry Vale]

A couple of S19 guests (Nerys Hughes & Moray Watson - Kinda/Black Orchid) in Johnny Speight's 1968 version of If There Weren't Any Blacks You'd Have to Invent Them.

[Jon Masters]

Today's Sweeney was a bizarre mix of Doctor Who, Blakes 7, Space 1999, Dalziel and Pascoe and Father Ted !

"Ahhh, so what's your latest evil plan, Davros, hmm?"

"You'll be having a cup of tea, Doctor. You will, you will, you will, you will, you will!"

John Bennett in The Forsyte Saga.

Peter Davison in Sugar Free Farm on ITV last night. He came across really well - pity he got carted off in an ambulance at the end though

[Nyder]

Oh dear I do really need to get rid of my festive hat!

[Rob McCow]

Always expect Davison to turn up in larger, better roles these days. Maybe.

Anyway, Toby Jones (Dream Lord from Amy's Choice) was absolutely magnificent in Sherlock on Sunday. Highlight was the advert where we see Culverton watching something being flambed in front of him. His knowing facial expressions are a sheer delight.

However, one of the other charaters was slightly undermined: the nurse who helps Sherlock in the hospital plays Fergie in The Windsors and I couldn't stop thinking of her outrageously cruel impersonation.

John Bennett in The Forsyte Saga.

And now Martin Jarvis, and Christopher Benjamin.

And again in Series 2. He's really good!

If he starts swearing at foreign tourists, he's probably too good at it!

Interesting interview with C Ecclestone in next week's Radio Times - seems he's happy to talk about being unhappy with Doctor Who now......

[Stuart Wallis]

He seems to be happy grumbling about most things he didn't like - Who's answer to Prince Philip if Matty hadn't beaten him to it...

[Dirk Gently]

Pearl Mackie is on CBeebies Bedtime Story right now.

Having got the Goodies box set for my Birthday, I was surprised to see not only 1 but 2 doctors turn up in episodes that I haven't seen before. Pat Troughton in The Baddies as Doctor Wolfgang Adolphus Ratfink Von Petal and Jon Pertwee in Wacky Wales as Reverend Llewellyn Llewellyn Llewellyn Llewellyn.

Not strictly spotted on TV but they were spotted on my TV.

[Stuart Wallis]

And all three Goodies have appeared on BF, Graeme several times.

Charlotte Coleman who played Sue in Worzel Gummidge was a more tragic loss than Bert Wee who was 76...

According to Yahoo News, Mary Reynolds, the actress who played Queen Elizabeth II in Silver Nemesis, is still alive. She's 89 now, she lives fairly near me, in Epping in Essex, and has announced that for obvious reasons, she's now retiring from her job as a royal impersonator - which she'd been doing since 1985.

And the fact as yet nobody has even impersonated King Charles. There was those rubber masks. But the idea of a man going out of his way to cosplay King Charles (I keep typing Prince Charles!).
For a start Mary Reynolds was feminine enough to match Queen Elizabeth.
But the idea of a King Charles impersonator having anywhere near a career as Mary Reynolds had.
Not ruling it out every seeing one. No intention of doing it myself!
But it was clearly the end of an era. And we won't need Royal impersonators for public events and occasions where we're heading.

Aren't we all! And last night they had on the news a rousing public rendition of God Save The King where the vast majority sang Send her victorious.

Well we don't want to end up like the US, who had that awful Trump feller as their President impersonator...

This isn't quite Who but someone that my grandmother Thelma knew with connections to Sydney's 1950s entertainment industry thought that my mother Anne (rambunctious tomboy) would be a plausible fit for Buster in the then upcoming British-Australian film version of "The Shiralee". My grandmother said no and took my girly girl Aunt Susan to the auditions instead. Needless to say, they were not looking to cast a girl that loved pretty dresses as Buster...
