I hadn't known Derek Jacobi is in it - I love him!!

That's how I felt when I spotted Olivia Colman in the cast.  Adored her in Broadchurch.

I looked up the cast and the 1974 film to see what his part is.  The character wasn't in the earlier one.  This group of pictures goes on to describe the parts, so apparently they are making some changes in it.

Jacobi's counterpart (as Ratchett's valet) in the 1974 movie was played by John Gielgud.  For some reason, he was given a different last name for the earlier one (that was also different from the novel).

Happy Birthday❣

G,

Jerry Lacy talked about the movie at last year's Halloween Fest (in Hollywood).  He mentioned that Don Glut both produced and directed it, and apparently also wrote the stories, with Lacy appearing in only one of them.

Rowe is to the left of Jerry Lacy.  (From a couple of MB's screen captures of Episode #433.)

I have to re-log in each time, but what's odd is that I don't have to type a name and password; I just click the Login button.

Obituary for Hansford Rowe in the Santa Clarita Signal.  Rowe appeared in 3 episodes of the original series-- playing a judge in Victoria's witchcraft trial.  At 93, he was killed as a passenger in an auto accident.  So sad.

With thanks to Kosmo.

A few 1970s appearances of DS alumni coming soon:

Tomorrow (Tuesday), the El Rey Network will air the classic 2-hour pilot of The Incredible Hulk series with Lara Parker [uncredited] as Mrs. Banner #1; also Susan Sullivan in a major role.  It airs 10 a.m. to noon for both Eastern & Pacific times.  Sooo many DS actors worked on that show at one time or another.

Also tomorrow, the Hallmark MOVIE channel will be airing "The Kirkoff Case" episode of The Rockford Files with Roger Davis and Abe Vigoda at 11 a.m. ET & PT.

This coming Saturday, also on the The El Rey Network is Jim Storm's episode of The Planet of the Apes.  "Tomorrow's Tide" airs at 7 a.m. ET & PT.

Happy Birthday to JWGucciEnvy!
