Cast lists


What the hell has happened to the cast lists on this site. On several programes the main cast has been replaced by a small list of people who are only in 1 or 2 episodes.

It's very odd - Geoffrey Hayes is listed as a writer but not a presenter - however if you look up Geoffrey's own listing sure enough you can see him listed as presenter. Somebody at IMDB has goofed up - this is the case with a lot of other shows on the site.

After Telltale left the show, Julian Littman, Karl Johnson and Charmian Dore became the singers in Rainbow - but only for a few months between 1973 and 1974 - not many people remember that ensemble. I think they also sang the “You and Me” theme song before UB40 re-recorded it.

Well remembered! Now, was Charmian Dore the same lady as she who had the hit recored "Pilot of the Airwaves"?

reply

Yes, that's right - Charmian aka Charlie Dore.
