Nobody on that show went on to do much, except whatshisname who played the philosopher DJ. He was my favorite character anyway.Comment

Apparently Susan Dey from the Partridge family is alive and well, and as far as I can see, perfectly normal.
She and Alexandra Bastedo were my first childhood crushes until I deserted them for Jenny Hanley.Comment

Geoffrey from Rainbow is a minicab driver in Cambridgeshire somewhere, or was 10 years ago when he regularly picked me up from the station.

I had a massive childhood crush on Sophie Aldred. Imagine my dismay at Wikipedia informing me that 'Aldred had a relationship with comedian Les Dennis during his first marriage'.
It's not the infidelity that bothers me. Les Dennis? There's a man batting way above his average.Comment

Lesley Judd out of Blue Peter apparently runs her own conference organising business in Toulouse. This paragraph from her Wikipedia entry seems something of a contradiction in terms, however:
Although asked on several occasions to take part in Blue Peter reunions, Judd has generally declined, feeling that her television career was no longer a part of her life. However, she appeared on Blue Peter's 35th birthday programme in 1993 and the 50th birthday commemorations in 2008. The latter entailed an appearance on ITV's This Morning, where she received a 'make over' ahead of joining other former presenters at Buckingham Palace at a party hosted by The Queen. Judd then joined other female former presenters of the show in a photo shoot for the Mail on Sunday newspaper, celebrating fifty years of Blue Peter and was interviewed for a documentary about the show on BBC One.
I mean, I know that Wilson played for Arsenal but dismissing the premature deaths of his daughter and son-in-law as 'karma' seems a little unfair...Bob Wilson has had more than his fair share of karma thrown at him over the past few years.Comment

My fellow Somersetonian Fiona Curzon, who I was deeply in love with when she played Faye Mansfied in Crossroads, has had a reasonably successful career since leaving the motel business 30-odd years ago.
I have to confess that I was two-timing her with Louise Jameson in her role as Leela in Doctor Who. Ms Jameson has also enjoyed considerable on-screen success since then.
Betty Boop, on the other hand, appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth. As she'd be pushing 100 by now, she might well be dead anyway.Comment
