There is a lot of argument about the bit part players in this episode, fuelled partly by IMDB getting the attributions spectacularly wrong, crediting the Black American Charles Wood as playing the constable. I have also been party to these errors in the past, thinking Frank Peters was the street sweeper, but he is of course the bailiff who appears very briefly at the end of the episode. The Charles Wood in question here is the very Victorian-looking gent with huge fluffy sideburns who appears in a number of films and television shows over the years. We still don’t have a name for the plain clothes officer who accompanies Inspector Foster; he was previously misidentified as Victor Charrington, who is in fact playing Fred, the cabbie - as confirmed by his appearance in Kill the King.

The TV Times listing only lists Moxon, The Deacon, Steed, Carol, Dr. Keel, Jeremy, Nigel, Sir Thomas, Marylin & Mrs. Briggs (in that order); the cast list above is from the end credits that were broadcast.
