I had some correspondence to-and-fro with Anthony Read a few years back, and he was a thoroughly interesting chap. How sad that he has gone.

She was one of the few people that had survived the deadly virus that swept through Britain and Europe in the show. |

I only recently watched his three Avengers appearances via Youtube and they were rather good I thought

That's sad, one of my favourite episodes of all time....suspense, storytelling, characterisation , un -rushed ....superb.
Either way you have to wonder if it's where Jimmy Perry and David Perry got the idea for Pvt Cheeseman in Dad's Army. |

Wasn't Private Cheeseman just Talfryn Thomas playing Talfryn Thomas?
There are a few Web of Fear people still about, in addition to Ralph Watson. John Levene was inside a Yeti, and some of his co-Yetis are still knocking around. Tina Packer (Anne Travers) runs a theatre in America. Derek Martin is prominently in shot as a UNIT soldier. I watched the Rollason Avengers episodes a couple of years back (The Avengers complete boxset I the best hundred quid I ever spent) and had some correspondence with him after I watched it. He seemed really nice guy who did fantastic things for his local community in Wales, which all seemed far more important than his former acting career. |

As a single parent when it was often looked down upon, she'd got wind that the catholic McGoohan wasn't sure about her casting. Apparently before filming she said "Hey, McGoohan. Hear you've got a problem with me. Well bleep bleep!" Got on famously after that and did another episode a year later. |

Ms Corri seems to have been a plain-speaking woman, unafraid of expressing her opinion and standing up for herself!

Not only that, but a special mention must go to Ronnie Corbett as well. He and Ronnie did a Who sketch in 1983 called The Adventures Of Archie and he appeared in a special charity episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures playing a Slitheen.
Goodbye Ronnie and goodbye Reg.
