Does anybody know the name of an actor who was in Crossroads in the late 70s. Somebody Mason, and his brother was a singer in the Maisonettes. This guy played a teacher I think called somebody Lord.

I have tried googling and wiki-ing and cannot find anything. Ta.

    His name was Jeremy Mason and he played school teacher Richard Lord. I believe Jeremy was the son of Edward J. Mason who for years wrote the radio serials Dick Barton and The Archers.

    Resurrected this because the brother was in TOTP 1983 at the weekend. The character played a sleazy teacher who had an affair with a sixth former. Signed off aged 46.

    He returned to Crossroads in 1982 for a story-line about sudden death and blackmail.

    I didn't know that! The 1982 story-line is memorable for the actress playing Kate Hamilton stumbling over the beautifully written line: "If it says what you say it says"...

    It came out: "If it sez what you sez it sez" and a pained expression passed over poor Kate's face. Richard Lord kept a straight face.

    I was surprised he is actually dead.

    Very sad. I remember his portrayal of Richard Lord very well, and have the 1980s episodes on DVD. He was very good in scenes with his romantic rival Mr Paul, where some comedy shone through.

    Carolyn Jones is in the Archers now playing Arsula.

    Is there a source for this? I only just happened upon your post and did a google search with no results.

    She was brilliant in Crossroads, fabulous actress.
