nicholas lyndhurst


I see from the credits that nicholas lyndhurst was one of the pupils. I saw the series back in 1980 but don't recall him in it?

He plays Dobson (one of the pupils)

Hi Jo

Thanks for that. i will look out for him the next time the series gets an airing on UK gold. I remember him being on TV usually on a sunday afternoons, in the series like "Heidi" and then 'The Prince and the Pauper'. Later he had that brilliant cameo on 'Going Straight' - just wandering through the room and asking 'what time is it?' and then when finding out he would sigh "i've missed it then'. In To serve them all my days, was he a senior pupil, as this was 2 years after 'going straight'. Oh, and my cousin met him at a holiday camp in the late 70s - either he was there with his family or perhaps he was there doing some entertainment - anyway she said he was really great and just joined in with everyone.
