Robin Nedwell was such a huge star in the 70's but, like Richard O'Sullivan, seemed to just fade away into obscurity. His early death from a heart attack in a doctors waiting room in suburban Southampton seemed just to weird to be true. Then there's Barry Evans, who died in mysterious circumstances after living a lonely existence in Leicestershire as a taxi driver.
@TheHarecat Robin Nedwell must have been having an off day when I saw him at a fete near my home in the late seventies.A lady ran up to him for a quick autograph just before he was to do an it's a Knockout type thing and he just curtly said 'No!'.The humiliation she must have felt as she had to quickly go back to her friends in front of everyone.He could just have said that he'd be happy to do it a bit later for her.and spare her blushes. He spent the rest of the afternoon in the beer tent!
@TheHarecat RIP Barry Evans funny how these people just vanish,I remember him as Mr Brown in mind your laungage,then he ends up a taxi driver,just shows how things change.
out side shots in this were filmed in Wanstead hospital in London E11.....I worked at the local chippy and they came for food on occasions and even filmed a short sequence inside the shop in about 1971.......
