Never heard of her! John Challis is the only one I know, though Barraclough rings a vague bell.

Jason Watkins - 'Being Human', 'Tomorrow Never Dies'
Sherrie Hewson - 'Coronation Street', 'Loose Women'
John Challis - 'Only Fools And Horses'
Roy Barraclough - Played Cissie (or possibly Ada) opposite Les Dawson
Arthur Smith - Stand-up comedian and Sid James look-a-like
Mathew Horne - Gavin And Stacey

Yeah, I vaguely recall Barraclough, still none the wiser on the others!

This seems as good a place as any to put this!

'Crown Court' was a television docu-drama series that ran for 879 episodes between 1972 to 1984. Broadcast in the afternoon, it was a programme my mum liked, and so I would always end up watching it on the occasions when I was faking illness and skiving off school!

Screened in 1973, the case 'Destruct, Destruct' is an example of what was perfectly acceptable back in the day - just watch the opening pre-credit sequence which depicts a children's game going horrifically wrong and ask yourself "would this be shown today, at 1:30pm"

That start is quite Grimm definitely makes an impact and the kid looked strangely satisfied with himself too. I'm actually interested to find out what happens now might give it a watch after work .

Haha! Love the way the boy removes his goggles and then stares blankly at the body.

Very Michael Myers like. I wonder if John Carpenter ever saw that on cable tv at the time?

I keep hoping network might release a complete set of Crown Court on dvd. There are a few volumes but nowhere near all of it. Probably only a couple of years at a guess.

I was too young to see the early years but i definitely saw episodes from the later series in the 80's. It ran for 11 or 12 years i think.

It's be expensive seeing as there's so much of it but grab it in a sale and it'd definitely be worth it.

As Susan said, it's not the sort of thing you get today.

Thank you.

It's not the sort of thing you want to religiously sit and watch nor clog up your Sky box with hours of it.

A bit like Tales of the Unexpected, which i still haven't come close to finishing despite owning it for years, it's the sort of show i'd like to dip into a bit then probably not watch any for months. That sort of thing.
