Barry Taylor, still learning to ride a motorbike & having trouble with his push bike & Marjorie Osbourne in 'Home Sweet Home', a 1982 Play For Today by Mike Leigh. See this if you can, it is brilliant in parts & you even get a good view of wor Marjorie's bristols in a see through negligee.
I vaguely remember that one Arthur
Whilst not quite Abigail's Party or Nuts in May it's still another Mike Leigh goodie

I’ve got the Mike Leigh box set and agree that this is very good and well worth watching.

Strewth, they're a bit low slung aren't they? She was born in December 1950 so she'd only have been 31 at the time of filming. Not much of a supporting act there! <sexist mode off> Sam.

... Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water! And I thought Wor Marjorie was a bit. Another Auf Pet face Berwick Kaler ('Alan the Kallen') is in an episode of Taggart on Drama tonight 'Evil Eye' playing the imaginatively named fence 'Geordie'. Evil Eye also features John Hannah, Gill Gascoigne and (erm) Gary Webster too.

Barman Ray Knight with an invisible drink & Terry Leather in a Dixon Of Dock Green episode, with Terry wearing the dodgy syrup & bins is Kenneth Cope. With Ray Knight is Ben Howard who plays Ronnie in 'Queen's Pawn'.

Just watching Blott On The Landscape and spotted a couple who also appeared as a couple in Auf Pet Series 2. I think AWP & Blott would have been filmed around the same time too. Patrick Godfrey (now 87) & Georgine Anderson (now 92) Mr & Mrs Bullett - Finch (Blott) Geoffrey & Pauline Oxlade (Auf Wiedersehen, Pet Series 2, episode 10 - Scoop) Gene. A little later into episode 1 of Blott On The Landscape, I also spotted Kevin Doyle, who played Det Sgt Laurence in AWP Series 2 episode 2 - A Law For The Rich. He is playing a waiter in this episode of Blott. Gene.

AWP's Roger Bamford directed both as well. I'll have to give Blott On The Landscape a watch, I've only ever seen clips of it.
I saw Patrick Godfrey in a 'Scorpion Tales' play recently, for a change he played a working class Londoner,funny hearing him talk without a posh accent, he makes an appearance at 23m 5sec in the clip below-

Good spot Arthur. Pat Godfrey has a rather unexpected accent in Blott too, as you'll see. I'd only ever seen clips of it myself but thought I'd give it a try yesterday. It was.... OK. Quite unusual, and quite surreal to see George Cole in the circumstances he finds himself in in episode 1. Geraldine James I found to overact her part considerably. Also, without giving anything away about the plot, I can't think why but I had always assumed that George Cole was the title character of Blott, not David Suchet.
I will continue with it though now that I've watched the first episode.
Gene.

I splashed out the princely sum of £3.03 for a 2 disc DVD featuring the surviving episodes of "The Likely Lads" and spotted Micheal Sheard in the episodes "Other Side Of The Fence" & "Last Of The Big Spenders". He played a northerner (surprise, surprise) in these episodes but didn't have much hair then either. I may have mentioned this before but Micheal is fast becoming one of my favourite actors having appeared in The Likely Lads, The Sweeney, Star Wars and Auf Wiedersehen Pet, all firm favourites of mine. If he'd also been in Back To The Future, he would relegate Michael Caine into second place

I continued to watch Blott On The Landscape this week, and spotted William Simons, who played the gamekeeper in Auf Pet Series 2 episode "Another Country". This episode of Blott would have been filmed shortly before Auf Pet. I never realised William was a Welshman. Born in Mumbles in 1940. Gene.
