I recognised Harriet Philpin instantly, which led me to the Doom Watch site and there's that very nice photo!

Thanks, Franky. I don't recognise any of the other names. The only person I know who was on Doomwatch is John Paul (the good Dr. Kendrick in TNA). I suppose I ought to watch it one day.Frankymole wrote:"Simon Oates returns to the West End Theatre in Francis Durbridge's hit thriller 'Suddenly At Home' with four leading ladies, left to right, Harriet Philpin, Moira Foot, Lesley Goldie, and Annette Andre."Timeless A-Peel wrote:Could it be some sort of promo thing?

Re: The Avengers on stage (1971)
I wonder if the script would be suitable for a future Script Book release?Dandy Forsdyke wrote:Talking about John 'Wickham Gascoyne Berresford Uncle Tom Cobley' Steed and the stage version of The Avengers, is any of it useful in a canonical sense?
I would venture that 100% of us present have never had the luck to see the play, so what can we gleam from the evidence we do have?

has anyone seen this production ? or know someone who went ?Dandy Forsdyke wrote:Found this interesting blog which mentions the ill fated stage endeavour in 1971. It has pics that are new to me, so thought that there might be some here that have not seen them either.
The lady on the far right of this pic looks very much like Annette Andre I think.

Someone must've. Though not me - if I'd seen Annette André and Harriet Philpin in the flesh, I'd have melted.mousemeat wrote:has anyone seen this production ? or know someone who went ?

probably a promo thing for the period. but, at least material like this, is still around for us to ponder over..Dandy Forsdyke wrote:I thought I wasn't seeing things. It is her I think. Perhaps she was originally cast in the show and had to drop out, or perhaps she was visiting Simon Oats? Someone should ask her about this Avengers mystery. She was far too famous to have played one of the 'dolly birds' and she wasn't that type of actress anyway.
It certainly would have been an interesting to see Annette as Hannah Wilde.
I wonder if dear old Leslie Phillips might remember, if we could contact him?
