- Robin Askwith, Confessions Of A Window Cleaner, 1974. Askwith recalls trying to turn it down like Denis Waterman did – and “Richard, God bless him.” Robin went on to make four of the soft-bore “sex” series. He “trained” for the raunchy role role by pissing on-screen in Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Canterbury Tales, 1972.
- Richard Jordan, A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square, 1980. Excellent young British star of three crack TV series (he filmed one, Porrridge), Kate’s father died at age 34 just before the David Niven caper began shooting. Porridge, 1974-77,is about the most repeated comedy on BBC–TV, well into the 21st Century.
