Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I’ll look forward to that, Olga^! :D

        Now THAT must have been quite a show to catch: and one I wouldn’t’ve minded seeing, myself!   Apparently, he did a few things, over the years, quite a bit of it on stage.

†        Hello, Mum!   (It was in the Pacific, Mum, not the Atlantic!)

‡        Did you ever see him in Fiddler on the Roof, Debbi^?   It’s quite a thing to see, it really is.   (Roger Lloyd Pack — John Lumic, in the first NuWho Cyberman stories — has a bit part in it!)

^        Pointless bits of trivia for everyone.   The chap that played the Fiddler in The Fiddler on the Roof, also crops up as a bandit in the old William Hartnell story, The Crusade: he plays a bandit in episode four.   Ruth Madoc — from Hi-de-hi — crops up as a ghost.   Oh, and Roger Lloyd Pack — who’s been all over the place! — plays a minor part.   I could go on for hours!
