Jacki Piper



Jacki Piper:

Effervescent and sweetly saucy as lead dollybird Sally Martin in 'Carry On Loving' (see also Richard O'Callaghan) she went on to appear in several 'Carry Ons' and some other minor films in the same year, including 'Doctor In Trouble' and the Roger Moore vehicle 'The Man Who Haunted Himself'. She then popped up occasionally in 'The Two Ronnies' and 'The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin', before hitting the hospital/police potboiler circuit of 'The Bill', 'Doctors' and 'Wire In The Blood' as a run of nice middle aged ladies.

Leslie Schofield


Leslie Schofield: 

One of those long-faced types who often populate the perifery of British drama, appearing as ratty villains, petty bureaucrats, sleazy bohemians and indignant customers. He has appeared in films ranging from 'Star Wars' (as the splendidly named Moradmin Bast) to 'Villain' and 'Force 10 From Navarone'. His TV career started on a moderate high, with parts in 'Doctor Who', 'Softly Softly', 'The XYY Man', 'Blakes 7' and of course modern parent Tom* in 'The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin'. Latterly he's been seen in 'Juliet Bravo', 'Coronation Street', 'EastEnders', 'ChuckleVision' and the inevitable 'Midsomer Murders'.


In 'Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)'.

*It had been bothering me that Mr Schofield somehow wasn't the Tom from Reggie Perrin that I remembered. Turns out that the part was played by TIM PREECE in the first series. Accordingly, I add an annexed mini-salute to Mr Preece here.

James Warrior





James Warrior

The perennial worried Welshman in a brown suit, his first roles included harrassed coppers in 'Budgie' and 'The Sweeney', but he has played town councillors, reporters, landlords, con-men, miners and cab drivers with some of the quirky elan of Gorden Kaye, if not quite Roy Kinnear. 

In the BBC play 'The Comedians'

As Mr Babbacombe in 'The Fall And
Rise Of Reginald Perrin'

I liked him as Mr Meredith ("it's Me-RED-ith") in the unlamented comedy 'Glamour Girls'. After a few years brewing real ale in Cornwall, he's more recently been focusing on voiceover acting work.
