I know the girl died when she was in her early 30s, but does anyone know what the boy went on to do...I have a feeling he was in Soldier Soldier, but I could be completely wrong. He may have become a scarecrow himself and been awarded an OBE for being outstanding in his field. Sorry. Anyone know?

The boy went on to play Johnny Briggs brother and was in Adrian Mole (small part). Then did Red Dwarf (even smaller part (series 2 episode 2 - "I'll be the envy of the Academy")). Now lives in Skipton with his wife and daughter and works at SpecSavers.

Charlotte Coleman died from a fatal athsma attack.
I guess she rejoined Jon Pertwee in death

Wow, I never knew that boy was in Red Dwarf - thanks for that!

It was really sad about Charlotte though... she was really good in Worzel Gummidge.

"Do you want it?" YES, Jareth!
