While I'm writing I'll describe two other cast sightings,
and I ask your forgiveness if they are obvious to you folks...
I'm one of only five people on the planet who has not seen
"A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles. I did catch five minutes of it
a month ago (while channel surfing) and saw Richard Vernon in a short
clip. He played a train passenger who was forced to share a train
compartment with the Fab 4. The latter were harrassing him by not
giving him any peace.
Also, while recently looking up some info on a Taggart
episode, I read that Dianne Keene played a Mrs. Wilson in an episode
in the late '80s. I can dig up more info if anyone is interested :) :D
It's a testament to the talent of the UK actors that they can
be seen in such a variety of roles. As Neil once said, "...it could
never happen here."
