Good luck!
Would Lesley Judd count?
I must be weird because I always thought
that Chrissy was more attractive than Jo
in Man About The House.
Good luck!
fr.
never.., but Jo being the dimwit she was made her annoying.
p.s. can I add Nerys Hughes?
Also score points (as in those I-Spy books!) for:
- Lesley Judd and Sarah Greene (Blue Peter) [but deduct ten points for
fancying Valerie Singleton]; Janet Ellis disqualified because she's post 70s
- Sally James (TISWAS)
- Jenny Hanley (Magpie) [but deduct ten points for fancying Susan Stranks]
- Carol Leader (Playschool)
- Christine Mackenna (Flambards, Kids from 47a)
- The Cadbury's Flake woman (or was that post-70s?)
- Susan George
- Susan Penhaligon
- Angharad Rees
- Angela Rippon (as seen on Morecambe and Wise!)
- Lesley Dunlop (as seen in Angels - and in an episode of The Sweeney with
humungous knockers under a mohair sweater...)
- Judi Bowker and Stacy Dorning (Black Beauty)
- Liz Crowther (Shoestring)
Anyone want to add any more?
> - Sally James (TISWAS)
Got her autograph (one of the very few I have)
and she'll be on ITV next month with a Tiswas special.
> - Jenny Hanley (Magpie) [but deduct ten points for fancying Susan Stranks]
Appeared in a Bond film
(On Her Majesty's Secret Service)
fr.
> Janet Ellis disqualified because she's post 70s
Ah, but she would qualify due to her '78 Sweeney appearance, bedding
Jack Regan whilst wearing a German helmet.
http://www.thesweeney.tv/images/sweeney/faces/janet_ellis.JPG
Ah, a fellow "admirer"?
Just thought of some more:
- Sally Geeson (that crap ITV sitcom with Sid James and Diana Coupland)
- Adrienne Posta (Scrubba in Up Pompeii)
- Barbara Flynn (Family at War, before even The Beiderbecke Affair) [sorry,
"adventures under the duvet with Mrs Swinburne" - I need to go for a cold
shower now!]
Sally (Tizwas)
Cally (Blakes 7)
and special mention to Colonel Wilmar on Buck Rogers
I never understood how Regan got crumpet
Good point... and I seem to remember that JE had two very good points!
Sadly the URL doesn't work - looks as if all the images have been removed
from the site. But I can remember her!
> Anyone want to add any more?
As you mentioned Play School I have to say that when
I was 5 years old I had a terrible crush on Hamble. My
class-mates at infant school prefered Jemima but she didn't
do anything at all for me. It was the stripey legs I think.
And even today I still don't fancy girls with stripey legs.
Cheers
Jeff
Especially when he'd tell them to "shut it!".
fr.
I'm not sure if she was seventies or eighties, but I thought Debbie Rix was
mesmeric.
Regan's ex-wife was rather tasty too.
How did I forget:
- Felicity Kendall (score 100 points for her!)
- Madeline Smith
Just found a lovely Sally James pic:

And how about this Felicity Kendal pic:

Jemima on the other hand...

He was Sweeney. He either paid for it or, more

he didn't have to.

Angharad Rees? '70s? Since when? I recall
her from the how to give up smoking show
"Go For It!" but that was mid-'80s. And she
was hardly a glamourous 40-something in
the your-best-mate's-mum mould then.
> Anyone want to add any more?
Joanna Lumley and Linda Bellingham, not that
either of them were on my list in those days,
but they both did do Hammer/Confessions series
stuff.
Do Chrissie Hynde and Sioxsie Sioux count or
was ToTP "music" and not "tele'"?
Two words: Gabrielle. Drake.
Two more words: Hubba. Hubba.
Since she played Demelza Poldark in the 1970s series Poldark.
I did, ages ago. And I posted a great picture of her:
A whole rake of nude Gabrielle stuff out there .......... for research
purposes of course.
Olive! Does your guide dog fancy her as well?
Yes I only excluded Jan Francis because Just Good Friends was 1980s. She was
nowhere near as fanciable when she played the resistance worker (*) in
Secret Army. She was also very tasty, in an older-woman sort of way, in Stay
Lucky, but that was 1990s.
(*) She was the one on whom Michelle "I shall say this only wernce" Dubois
in 'Allo 'Allo was based.
Jan Francis was in The Long Chase in 1972, all the way through to Secret
Army in 1978, with much other one-off stuff in between---a definite 70s
TV babe.
There was, as mentioned elsewhere, also Gabrielle Drake, who I remember most
from The Brothers and Kelly Monteith.
The ultimate 70s TV babe was Elisabeth Sladen, of course.
--
SAm.
Apparently she was in an episode of New Tricks---like, just last week.
> (*) She was the one on whom Michelle "I shall say this only wernce" Dubois
> in 'Allo 'Allo was based.
She was the only reason I watched the otherwise-terminally-up-itself Secret
Army.
--
SAm.
Yes, and Diamond Geezer a few weeks earlier. She's looking a *bit* older
now, but she's still got that impish mischievous streak to her personality.
Still fanciable at 55.

Cor. I'd forgotten her. Very nice.
> Julie Stevens, Chloe Ashcroft
Play School totty. I didn't rate Julie Stevens, but Chloe Ashcroft was
lovely. And it seems that she had a bit of a mischevous streak to her:
[Talking about Hamble] None of the presenters could stand her either, so
she'd get drop kicked across the studio, and once, when she wouldn't behave,
Chloe Ashcroft took a dreadful liberty.
"I did a terrible thing to Hamble. She just would not sit up...so one day
I got a very big knitting needle, a big wooden one, and I stuck it right up
her bum, as far as her head. So she was completely rigid, and she was much
much better after that."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/classic/playschool/trivia.shtml
And then there was Toni Arthur. Was she on Play School or just Play Away?
And Carol Chell! The tottiest of the Play School totty.
Does anyone know the name of the blonde Aussie hotel guest in Watery
Fowls?
Good luck!
I wasn't small in the 70s!
I was big enough to appreciate Pan's People and Legs & Co and Felicity
Kendall and a few others, but my memory's not what it was ...
Wind back a few years and I still think Emma Peel / Dianna Rigg takes
some beating...
>Does anyone know the name of the blonde Aussie hotel guest in Watery
Fowls?
Well all the actors and characters are listed on
http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0072500/epcast - maybe you can identify her from
that if you can narrow down the episode.
Alexandra Bastedo from The Champions for me ....
Raylene Mills character..., real name Luan Peters. I'm sure someone
on here once said they use to know her live.
Good luck!
Youve forgotten Connie Booth !!
And Carol Cleavage...sorry, Cleveland.
--
Halmyre
>Youve forgotten Connie Booth !!
Nah! She was vaguely attractive to look at but her voice was a big turn-off.
In the same way that I find some French women's voices a great turn-on, most
American accents are a very big passion-killer for me.
Anyone remember Francoise Pascal?
Er, sorry - who are you talking about? How about including the context of
the posting that you are replying to.
> Play School totty. I didn't rate Julie Stevens, but Chloe Ashcroft was
> lovely. And it seems that she had a bit of a mischevous streak to her:
Reading some of these names really takes me back. I don't remember
some of the names though but I found this on TV Cream which puts
a lot of faces to the names. http://tv.cream.org/lookin/playschool/index.htm
My Playschool era was the mid to late 70s so I grew up with the likes
of Floella Benjamin, Derek Griffiths, Brian Cant and the great Fred
Harris
who also presented Chock-a-Block of course. Checking on IMDB it
appears that another favourite (more for his name) Christopher
Lillicrap
also presented it between 74 and 76 although I remember him more from
another programme called Playboard. Ah memories!
Cheers
Jeff
Poor Hamble !! from the above link
"""Hamble the doll - the hate figure of the under-fives for the entire
run of the programme.
Although it was originally a very common type of doll, sold in
Woolworths, by the time Play School was in full flow there were only
two Hambles in Britain. The other was owned by a woman in Chester, who
would hire it to the BBC for £40 a week whenever the Play School
regular was injured""2
I'd never have guessed!
There's a great description of the toys on that page:
Jemima (red-cheeked floppy cloth effort in Laura Ashley frock), Hamble
(awful, scary Bjorkesque Victorian porcelain doll thing - ugh! Often the
target on in-studio "drawn-on pubic hair" japes), Humpty (the coolest -
round, fat green fucker in tartan trews, prone to unsteadiness atop a
cardboard wall - did all his own stunts)
> another favourite (more for his name) Christopher Lillicrap
I've got to admit that it takes a special sort of courage to use a name like
Lillicrap on TV, especially on children's TV where children are just
beginning to learn about "naughty words" and will poke fun at the name even
more than adults would. I think if I'd been him or his father or
grandfather, I'd have changed the name once and for all by deed poll. Mind
you, an ancestor of mine did have the surname Crapper, so who am I to talk?
OK, this thread is getting out of hand cos people are naming the likes
of Connie Both, Jack Reagan and Christopher Lillicrap who shouldn't be
in it. To get things back under control, I'm going to surmise top 5 as
follows: -
70's birds you fancied when you were small
- Francois Pascal
- Luan Peters
- Pam Ewing (frist Yankee bird I ever fancied)
- Aurielle, the gril from Rice Crispies ad (important note; I was 13
when I met her and she was 12)
- Cathy Hargreaves, original Grange Hill babe
Good luck!
I'd particularly like to give an honorary mention to the 1972 film Au
Pair Girls.
By Christ she was fit.

Amazingly with "Olive" it was all makeup and dodgy glasses. There are
some pics of her out there either in a bikini or topless and she is
quite simply stunning. She was apparently a model as well as an
actress.

From Space 1999 - Barbara Bain and Zienia Merton (source of a lifetime

Barbara Bain was far sexier in Mission Impossible (everyday on Five US).She
was almost Thunderbirdishly wooden in Space 1999!
Anyway, Diane Keen from Cuckoo Waltz. Get yourself two blokes, a bird
in a short skirt, a deckchair, no scripts and you have it made.

Cheryl Ladd of Charlie's Angles gave me tingly sensations on the pant
area, but was too young to know why exactly.
Also had much fondness for Heather Thomas of The Fall Guy fame, but
that's into the 80s.
I think those two were my first TV fancies. Ironic really that
nowadays, not much into blondes.

If Lyndy Brill smiled at me, I probably would have collapsed. She was
hot!
Late 70's Aurielle was Rice Crispies girl who had the pigtails and
(maybe) slight lisp. Met her at a kids party - when I was a kid too,
and she was so sophisticated "oh yaaa" it caused a stir at school the
next day. The big debate was who did Aurielle speak to the most...,
'getting off' with someone didn't come into it for another year or two
later, then dropping the hand a bit after that, and then at 15 it was
all about full blown tiffin.
Also, think Lucy Benjamin was a party when I was small, cos when she
was in Close to Home with Paul Nicholas, I recognised her. Never
fancied her though.
Good luck!
