"There are no small roles, only small actors." Perhaps the actors who try to avoid discussion of old but popular roles should think about whether or not they made the most out of the material-- and if they did, acknowlege their work with pride. If they didn't, bragging about their other roles hardly proves their worth. Pet peeve of mine, really. And it's usually the women who do it, often seeing their role as just being sex appeal. And it's the actors who LOVE whatever they do that are the most fun to watch.
Good day all,
Apologies to Helen, the first version of this went to her alone rather than the list as a whole.

If Josette is a bit snappy about her role in Blake's Seven, I wonder what her response would be to someone at an after show event walking up and asking about her role in "Nice Town"
Unprintable I would expect.
Catch you later,
