I am currently watching this episode and saw Jonanthan Morris playing the ill-fated president's son. Later in the 80's he appeared in Bread which was one of the biggest sit-coms at the time. On IMDB his last credit is from 2002, has he retired from acting or just acting on the stage?
On a side note this episode also features early work from Pierce Brosnan and Ruby Wax.

Curious to think he quit the spotlight while a co-star went on to become James Bond. Morris also appeared in the Doctor Who story Snakedance which was the first TV job for Martin Clunes who would went on to become a household name through the likes of Men Behaving Badly and Doc Martin.

" Lizzie Spender who played the CI5 agent in the TR7, Helen Tippett, kindly got in touch recently with some interesting revelations about the episode...
"Mine was supposed to be on ongoing part as Gordon Jackson's sidekick [but] when I arrived on set they realised that I was taller than [Martin] and [Lewis], so I was not allowed to stand up (hence always in the car) and all my other scenes (like running through the tube station with them) were cut. Poor me! I made friends with Lewis Collins years later when I ran into him in a scriptwriting class in LA." "
Too bad they changed their minds, before I read the above and as I have just watched 'Bloodsports' it was obvious from her first frame, correcting her lipstick in the TR7, they had something in mind for her -not the usual CI5 filler-agent of the week... mind the same could be said about Ben Cross in 'Blackout' another interesting CI5 agent ("the king of South London") dropped after 1 ep.
