Junket 89. Pauline Quirke Linda Robson aged 12. Richard Wilson.

Here is a clip from Junket 89, made in 1970 by The Children's Film Foundation.
The CFF used to make pictures which were shown on Saturday mornings at cinemas in the UK.
It features Pauline and Linda in their first screen roles when they were about 12 or so.
Richard (Victor Meldrew) Wison plays a nutty professor.
I'm the gormless one with braces, and the new watch!!!
The majority of of the children who appeared in this film went to the Anna Scher stage school in Islington.
Freddie Foote and myself went to The Barbara Speake Stage School.

I remember this from Saturday Morning Pictures. Loved it at the time. Looking for a DVD for a friend's son. Good to see this clip after 40 years.

@MarkRimmell The DVD is currently for sale on Amazon for £59.95.

@alanc71 Me too, but after doing some reading seems like Pauline and Linda's acting careers span back more than 40 years.

That theme song is very weird, but strangely catchy!
