I met Graham Cole (aka Tony Stamp) & interviewed him for a local radio station in the late 1980's. As Graham & I were walking to where I was going to interview him we past some local Police Officers and we got cheered on by them.... What a great memory that was. Now I work in a large soft furnishings store and bumped, literally into Chris Ellison (aka Frank Burnside) when he was on a shopping trip with his good lady some time in 2019.
My fav actor was Colin Tarrant, Insp Munro, but his suicide death was a bad blow, and I met him in Parramatta, in Sydney many years ago, a real nice bloke, he and Simon Rouse were on a Bill promotion tour.
@@mistofoles Does it help? I got told by a mate of mine who signed up with a casting agency for an extra that I would get parts easily because I had a really unique look. I never thought about it though.
@@denisetaylor4528 thank you so much for this comment, certainly made it worthwhile. Back in the early 80s Neighbours and Home and Away were huge here in the UK, I remember everyone talking about them at school, happy memories 👍
80's through to late 90's featured most of the show's best characters (as shown here) that don't get mentioned as much as the popular ones. E.g: Loxton, Datta, Garfield, Quinnan & Page.
Had the pleasure of chatting to the great man for a rare interview about his time on The Bill for my book Witness Statements www.devonfirebooks.com/product/witness-statements-making-the-bill-series-1-3
RIP Roberta Taylor you & trudie Goodwin are my favourites actress my favourites male actors is Kevin Lloyd and smithy and jack and tony stamp and bob cryer on the bill
Huw Higginson lives around the corner from me in Sydney, Australia. He’s been in some Aussie dramas over here and I said “ it’s garfield”. (I’m an ex pat)
It's kind of sad in one way, we all grew up with them when they were young and slowly watched them age well the characters who stayed in the bill for a long time. And now the older cast are in their 60s and 70s, a couple in their 80s.
Yeah, what's happened to Lucy Speed? The girl who also played Natellie in EastEnders? (Bianca Jackson's mate) she looks thin and not in a healthy way...!!!!
@@scottsgoingon8806 my son has met him he got me a photo off him they are talking a bought bringing it back yes yes please stamp and a few of the old cast
Don Beech the best, was never fond of Loxton’s attitude but learnt one thing from him “back your mates up” care more about the officers then the badly behaved public, I’d like to be as tall as him
My Mum loved Bill Murray. I saw him in a film from the 60s as a young lad, he was only in it for two seconds. My favourite character was Yvonne, recently seen in that Doctor thing, “This is going to hurt.” with Ben Wishaw.
nice little video one little mistake other than no obe for Tony aka Graham Cole on most you have the characters name under te Character but for Nate its the wrong way around
Thank you for taking the time to add a comment, yes she does doesn’t she. One day they will realise what a mistake they made taking this off TV and hopefully bring it back
@@scottsgoingon8806 I disagree. It was a fantastic show in it's prime but had gotten too soapy in the last few years before it started losing ratings . The early years were much grittier and darker.
