Malcolm McDowell was good recently in Heroes
Its not that tragic, though I don't recognise anyone else really.

It's Catherine Schell from OHMSS, not George Lazenby. But they had Toyah, and Lt Gruber.

It was a charity event. You paid to have photos and autographs, all proceeds went to charity. The celebs made nowt.
There were 11 Bond girls there, including Mary Stavin, Madeline Smith and Caroline Munro. There were some youngsters from Game Of Thrones. Ten of the Quadrophenia cast including Toyah. Ian Lavender of Dad's Army fame. My number one target was Derren Nesbitt. He was in the 60's tv series The Prisoner. He also starred alongside Richard Burton & Clint Eastwood in Where Eagles Dare. He talked to me about his clashes with Lew Grade & Patrick Mcgoohan, and how he helped Ray Winstone to get on. I had a photo with Toyah and a group photo with Quadrophenia cast. I saw it advertised and thought it would be something different to do. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Also won a Lambretta Helmet signed by the Quad cast at the roulette table. The only downer was Blackpool. 1st time there for 10 years. What a dump. And to add a bit of gravitas classically trained Michael Jayston was also there. View attachment 108251 View attachment 108252

Who thinks it's tragic that people give up their time to charity including all the staff & helpers?

From a quick skim of the website it looks like a good cause and a fun way to spend an afternoon if you're into that sort of thing.
But you're right about Blackpool. Same as most British seaside resorts, killed off by cheap flights to the Med and especially grim in the off season.

Derren Nesbitt! There's a blast from the past, a much underrated and under used actor. I saw him in a play in Wimbledon about 25 years ago " Not Now Darling" by Ray Cooney. I bet he has some great stories to tell.
Your right about Blackpool it is a carbuncle of a place, I've been twice in the last two years in February to a convention, I can't face it again next year, I just can't, I won't go, I won't, they can't make me.
