Barry Foster appeared in two of my favourites - both as villains - firstly, in 1975 (about) in "Sweeney!" the first of the feature films of the TV cop series, where he played a sleazy PR agent, and secondly, around 10 years later, when he appeared in an episode of "Inspector Morse" (The Last Enemy) where he played an ambitious professor trying to secure preferment by any means he can.

@Caslon159 - I'll second that! Merton Park Studios were responsible for the "Scotland Yard" series - which morphed into "The Scales Of Justice" - both introduced by Edgar Lustgarten - and the Edgar Wallace series - plus a few great movies (including the BRILLIANT "Invasion" ['65] - with Edward Judd, Barrie Ingham,Yoko Tani and a young (E)Ric Young) - and despite their tiny budgets, these were OFTEN better than the main feature!

@bradshawvincent - Coincidence! I am also Vincent - and I once MET Barry, in the Bull's Head, Barnes ( a London Jazz pub). At that time, he'd only popped in for a drink - but he occasionally sat in on piano (sadly, never when I was there). We discussed his then-latest work, on "Van Der Valk" - I've cursed myself ever since, for NOT asking him what working with HITCHCOCK was like.
