Peter Davison in The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy as the cow bred for eating at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. When I first saw the programme, I was thinking "why does Doctor Who want to be eaten?"

Originally posted by Giggler View PostGoing back to the programme in the OP, it never sat right with me as a child that Nicholas Lyndhurst was in The Two of Us and The Piglet Files as well as Only Fools and Horses.

If he had been, it means we'd have been spared those WH Smith adverts where he played every member of the same family too.
Thanks for reminding me of those adverts. I didn't need that.

Roger Lloyd Pack popped up as a foreign assassin in an episode of the Professionals. That really puts you off the whole thing.

Originally posted by lackedpunch View PostTo me, Stephen Yardley was a manipulative, self seeking blind man in the TV series "Day of the Triffids". So when he turned up in "Howard's Way" as smooth, linen-suited playboy Ken Masters it just didn't ring true.

Also another to do the Doctor Who / Blakes 7 / Coronation Street triumvirate. And The Professionals / The Sweeney / The New Avengers. Shit... down the rabbit hole I go...

'Don't get me started on BBC salaries,' he says. 'We were never the big league. Situation comedy has always been the poor relation in the television entertainment business. It doesn't matter how popular you are, if you are a jobbing actor, you are a jobbing actor. The clever ones these days set up their own production companies and make the money that way. But it wasn't really done in my day, you got what you got. And that was never as much as people thought.'
I'm sure they still did more than ok by most people's standards though.

Guy Siner ('Allo 'Allos Lieutenant Gruber) in Doctor Who - Genesis of the Daleks.
While on an 'Allo 'Allo thing, Kim Hartman, who plays Helga, is the aunt of Batman / Inception / Dunkirk director Christopher Nolan.
Jim Norton (Bishop Brennan from Father Ted) is in an episode of Frasier playing a butler in a snobby gentleman's club. He doesn't get kicked up the arse in this one.

This meant when I watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show it was weird to see Barry Bostwick, who I knew as the mayor in Spin City.
