#fave spotting #paul darrow #kerr avon #blake's 7 #the saint #blakes 7 #itc #classic tv #1967 #the gadic collection #he's so baby! #this was an early credit for Paul‚ in fact the earliest work I've seen of his #he'd actually just finished his first regular role‚ having done a year on Emergency Ward 10‚ but if any of those episodes survive and if #network included any of them on their old releases (sob rip) then i didn't get to them (must go back and finish at some point) #guest spots would become his bread and butter for a while‚ with his B7 immortality still a decade away #he's playing a Turkish museum worker here (and he'd be playing an Egyptian in his next part for Virgin of the Secret Service) but he #doesn't appear to be particularly made up (that top pic is just poorly lit) which is a relief. the same cannot be said sadly for the #episode's main guest star Peter Wyngarde‚ here painted dark brown in truly one of the most offensive‚ most extreme examples #of an incredibly shameful aspect of old tv #so that's that on s5 of The Saint! and clearly this is the season to go to if you're looking for blorbos! #we had a doctor‚ a rani‚ a master and a polly from dw #two Champions‚ a Callan‚ and Mrs. Hopkirk and Jeff Randall #plus Edward Hammond‚ Jason King‚ and one very cute cat #let's hope s6 has some surprises in store...
