The lovely Michael Knowles
He's really gorgeous! What else has he been in? I thought he was so funny in this.

He was Teddy Meldrum (incidentally, one of my favourite comedy characters of all time) in You Rang M'Lord in the late eighties and early nineties. I think that's a Perry and Croft one, and it's brilliant. I bought the DVDs this year because it first came out when I was about four so I couldn't remember it properly.
Also he did the voice of the Captain of the Air Force (I think) in the cartoon version of the Big Friendly Giant by Roald Dahl.
"If we go on like this, you're going to turn into an Alsatian again."
Michael Knowles is brilliant as Captain Ashwood and as Teddy Meldrum! I love all the Perry and Croft comedies, they're the best in the world!
By the way, IridescentTranquility, I like your sig...from Blackadder the Third, Ink and Incapability, isn't it? (I love Blackadder too!)

Certainly is. That's the problem with Blackadder quotes - trying to get one that's short enough to fit the signature line.
"If we go on like this, you're going to turn into an Alsatian again."
"try and understand this before one of us dies"
"criminal record?"
"absolutely none"
"oh come on baldrick you're going to be an mp for goodness sakes! i'll just put fraud and sexual deviance..."
"WOOF!"
"now is the summer of our sweet comtempt"
"chisick! fresh horse!"
"thank you old crone, here is a purse of monies, which i am not going to give you"
i think they're fine for a sig!!
immaturity and your life is alot like wine, the older it gets, the more it costs you
He is cute, isn't he. I just can't understand how very few people see this.

Yes, it's always fun to spot the lead actors from one Croft/Perry/Lloyd show guest starring in another! A few other examples:
Mavis Pugh (Lady Lavender from YRML) guested as Chief Commander Crisp in IAHHM
Jeffrey Holland (Spike from HDH, James from YRML) guested as the RAF superstar in IAHHM
Windsor Davies (Sergeant Major from IAHHM) guested as the Mayor in ODB
Gorden Kaye (René from AA) guested as a soldier in IAHHM
John D. Collins (Fairfax from AA, Jerry from YRML) guested in five (!) other Croft/Perry/Lloyd shows: DA (the film), AYBS, HDH, IAHHM, and ODB!

Michael Knowles also wrote four episodes of AYBS.
shareI just remembered - I knew I'd seen one of the It Ain't Half Hot cast somewhere else in You Rang M'Lord . . . Stuart McGugan (Gunner McIntosh, as I recall) was one of the workers at Lord Meldrum's factory.
Oh, and Frank Williams, who was the Bishop in You Rang M'Lord was also the Vicar in Dad's Army but I don't recall seeing him in this - I could be wrong, though.
"If we go on like this, you're going to turn into an Alsatian again."
That's right! Stuart McGugan played Jock McGregor in You Rang M'Lord, and Frank Williams was the vicar in Dad's Army (his characters were very similar, I think).
I also recently spotted Jack Haig (Monsieur Leclerc in 'Allo 'Allo) in Dad's Army as a gardener!

He always reminded me of Prince Charles when I was young.
Its that man again!!
Gorden Kaye (René from AA) also appeared in at least one episode of AYBS - where he played the part of a paparazzi
Janet Davies (Mrs. Pike of DA) appeared in one episode of AYBS - where she is unwilling to accept and outsize dress from the persistent Mrs. Slocombe
and i am discovering more crossovers.
It's such a pleasant surprise when they happen :-)
Chris Andrews (Gary from HDH) was a nameless German soldier once in AA.
