Richard Wilson, a master at work.

I've wondered for a while now (since I came back to watching this and re-living old memories) why they chose 'Distant Hills' as the closing theme? I found myself humming it on the way home when I was on Jury service a few years back (I started watching a few episodes then too).

The judge played Challon in "Word of Honour", an episode of Upstairs, Downstairs.

[@stephenhardy312]

He also played 'Doc Morrissey' in The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin.

I used to support Fulchester Rovers when I was a kid - because Billy the Fish used to play in goal for them back then.

Billy the fish was a ball bag.

Thanks for uploading

That had to be THE worst attempt at an Australian accent I have ever heard. In 1970s England there must have been dozens of genuine Australian actors ready to take that part. I know, for example, that Charles "Bud" Tingwell and Nick Tate were doing television work at that period.

Worse than Patrick Mower and George Layton in the Sweeney episodes "Golden Fleece" and "Trojan Bus"?

high teason was still a capital felony in those days

@@joedge6142 not the point ! there was still one gallows in the country just in case ! the last person sentenced to death for murder in the Great Britain was in the 80s or 90s in the states of Jersey commuted to life imprionsment with perole by the prime minster or the home secatery ! because they didnt have the bottle to carry it out!

@@geezerp1982 13 August 1964, two men, convicted just a few weeks earlier of murder, were led to the gallows at separate prisons in Manchester and Liverpool. No one involved knew it at the time, but Gwynne Evans and Peter Allen were the last executions before capital punishment was abolished in Britain. States of Jersey is a separate jurisdiction in law.

@@scottgeorge4268 just like scotland is different laws, however doesnt change the fact it was the secatery of state / prime minister who commuted the last death sentence in jersey

[@misterteaification]

Only in theory. Capital punishment had long been abolished. Indeed, that was part of the point of the show - it was broadcast at lunchtime, and in theory young children might easily be in the TV audience, so it was important that nothing too upsetting be included.
