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.

Frank Williams

Frank Williams: 

† July 2 1931 – June 26 2022

Forever associated with the role of 'his reverence' Timothy Farthing, the vicar in 'Dad's Army', he has rarely been out of television work since the late '50s. Aside from his stock-in-trade vicars and bishops, he has played academics, clerks, salesmen, a hypnotist and various fusty, odd types in 'The Rutles', 'Z-Cars', 'Adam Adamant Lives!', 'Minder', 'Bergerac' and 'Boon'. Also a stalwart of TV sketch comedy with Morecambe & Wise, Kenny Everett, Jimmy Tarbuck and Dick Emery. Timeless catchphrase: "Oh, do be quiet Mr Yeatman".

Richard O'Callaghan

Richard O'Callaghan: 

Son of the inimitable Patricia Hayes, he is probably best known as the shy tinfoil aeroplane enthusiast Bertram Muffet from 'Carry On Loving' and the idealistic young master Boggs from 'Carry On At Your Convenience'. 

He has aged into a rather craggy and disreputable-looking type, with some Shakespearean stage roles to back up his parts in TV from 'Dalziel & Pascoe', 'Mr Pye', and 'McCallum', to 'Boon', 'Casualty', and 'Heartbeat'-type fare. I should also mention his role in the bleak, bisexual, black-comedy, 'Butley' (1974), with Alan Bates. Directed by Harold Pinter.

Jacqueline Pearce

Jacqueline Pearce:
† Dec 20 1943 – Sep 3 2018

RADA-trained, eternal gamine with a haughty demeanour, whose image was burned onto the adolescent beta male retina of the early '80s as Servalan in 'Blakes 7'. Before that she had been the glamour in a couple of low-budget Brit horrors - 'The Reptile' and 'Plague Of The Zombies' - and also 'Carry On Don't Lose Your Head' all in 1966. Her TV appearances include a nice set of '60s cult classics: 'Danger Man', 'The Avengers', 'Man In A Suitcase', and 'Callan'; before hitting the small-screen sci-fi big-time in 'Doctor Who' and 'Blakes 7', as well as some classy period pieces like 'The Edwardians', 'Churchill's People' and 'Moondial'.

In 'The Reptile' (1966)

In the Jerry Lewis swinging London romp
'Don't Raise The Bridge, Lower The River' (1968)

Peter Cellier

Peter Cellier: 

Another actor specialising in patrician roles, particularly judges, politicians and high-ranking civil servants - and perhaps the odd supercilious head waiter or shifty ex-officer. He has rarely been out of work since the early '60s, with roles in films including 'Barry Lyndon' (1975), 'Young Winston' (1972), 'Morgan - A Suitable Case For Treatment' (1966), 'Jabberwocky' (1977), 'Personal Services' (1987) and 'The Remains Of The Day' (1993). His TV CV is extensive and stretches from 'Randall & Hopkirk' to 'Yes, Minister' and from 'Rumpole' to 'Jackanory'. 

A giant in his field, but few could put a name to the face.

Tony Selby

Tony Selby:

† Feb 26 1938 – Sep 5 2021

A perennial chirpy cockney tough-nut, well-suited to any kind of petty criminal and henchman, as well as bin men, hard coppers, lorry drivers and of course the sadistic Corporal Marsh in the grimly amusing National Service comedy 'Get Some In!'. Film roles include parts in classics like 'Alfie' (1966), 'Villain' (1971), and 'Witchfinder General' (1968), but he found his niche in TV. 'Catweazle', 'Callan', 'Minder', 'Doctor Who' and 'Department S' is just scratching the surface. Saw him drinking in the Dog & Duck in Soho a few times; his wheezily sarcastic voice and frizzy barnet are unmistakable.

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.
