This actress April Walker, is she the one that played 'Carrie Harris'
in the Onedin Line as well ?!?!?
Indeed it must be a smallish village, when you love BBC drama's and
have a considerable collection DVD's at home you always come across
the same names … :-))
And something else….
I live in Holland, but there is no DVD Onedin Line 5 from Memphis
Belle available yet…
I'll keep an eye on it ofcourse…and let you know.
We'll have to do with the torrent downloads 5-8 untill then.

this is from memory). The Music Advisor for Season 6 was Grant
Hossack, who left to work on a couple of West End shows; that's where
I came in. I knew Tony well, though, because he was sort of related
to my then wife – he was my wife's cousin's ex-husband. The aunt was
actress April Walker, who may be known to some listers for her
appearances on Fawlty Towers and a host of other comedy shows.
British television is basically a smallish village – you're never
more than two degrees of separation from anyone.

Howard Lang's house on Parsifal Road every morning. There was a
pyramid of sea-boots in the living room clearly visible from the
street!
