Who Dares Wins.. that was the name of the movie he did wasn't it?

Who Dares Wins.. that was the name of the movie he did wasn't it?

I think so. Wasn't that Australian actress one of the terrorists, or was that another film?
Edit: The one from My Brilliant Career?

I am so sad, he was probably my first real crush. He was gorgeous.

 

[Lance Jack]

He passed SAS TA selection and then got binned as being too famous

 

[Berties]

when he played peter skellen in who dares wins he was the hero of the day,rip,

 

[Pale Rider]

Used to drink in a bar High Wycombe way in the mid 80s he wasn't a very nice chap as I recall.

Must have got it from his father who it was once my misfortune to deal with.

All the negative stereotypes about scousers embodied in one man.

 

[Accy cyclist]

Sad news indeed! The Capris,Escorts and Granadas and the round of drinks in the pub after their latest encounter,costing less than three quid makes me reminisce about those days!


R.I.P "Bodie"

Didn't a young lady once try and break her way into his hotel bedroom and have be forcibly removed by security staff?
Before, rather than after......

3 litre Granada.

Easily bust through a window.

What about that perpetually bad tempered ex-butler...? I would have reported him to HR.

 

[asterix]

One of my favourite episodes is the one where one of them (can't remember if it was Bodie or Doyle) had to wrestle a hand grenade out of Pamela stephenson's blouse......

That must have taken a bit of finding (the grenade, I mean not the episode..)

That must have taken a bit of finding (the grenade, I mean not the episode..)

I'm sure a thorough search would have turned something up.
