So that's what he looked like!
We spent a family holiday at Lochcarron, probably about 4 years after this was filmed, looking out across the loch to the railway. I remember visiting both Dingwall and Kyle of Lochalsh, and several evenings were spent at the station hotel at Achnasheen.

Back-to-front - to me he will always be Wanda's son.
He was very good in Cabin Pressure, I wonder what he's been doing since...

Sometimes the actual content seems to be barely 25% of the running time amongst all the introductions, puffs, recaps and summaries - and that's before you consider all the pointless dramatisations and barely relevant visuals.

Yes, I knew of her name in association with her Avengers character but had never made the connection with the nice Playschool lady of my early years!
