John. I also remember Philip Madoc in The Life and Times of David Lloyd George. It also had beautiful music Chi Mai by Ennio Morricone. |

Jill :-) John Laurie was actually born in Dumfries, which surprised me. I would have thought he was born on a wild island in the Outer Hebrides. |

I didn't know Liz Frazer (Mrs Pike) had died. So sexy. She was in a lot of Hancocks half hours and also some of the Carry on's..Carry on Regardless - modelling underwear and negligees. Barbara Windsor?? You can keep her. Liz was much more huggable. Phooarr. :-) |

Unless there has been very recent news to the contrary, Liz Frazer is still alive. |

According to my daughter, who works at a place where Ms. Frazer visits regularly, she is very much alive, kicking and making her presence felt! |
