The Museum of Cultural Waste is a great place. It can tell people very much.

Kashgar is d’winner (bad luck Grannymar). It is indeed John Alderton. The image does look Wodehouse-y alright but I haven’t a clue what it’s from specifically. It ain’t Zardoz though.

I had a childhood crush on Pauline “Downstairs” Collins…

That reminds me, “Friend”, Zardoz was on over the Crimbo on one of the channels far down the Sky box.

Awesome.

I have known from the off that it was John Alderton but as the Tony Kenny guy I felt I should leave the field to other players.

I remember when he was the chauffeur in upstairs downstairs that him and Pauline Collins used to have extra-marital relations.

But of course, they were married in real life so it wasn’t as delightfully filthy as my pubescent self bethunk me at the time.

John Alderton was my first choice and then I thought maybe it was an ‘Irish’ actor, if so my suggestion is a very young Tony Doyle.

‘Tis John Alderton probably in one of the P.G Wodehouse / Ben Travers adaptations.

Tom Conti then?

No he stole her real heart in real life.

Not John Whitney (whoever he is).

Not Peter Bowles (but not far off).

He stole the heart of Shirley Valentine.

Peter Bowles in the ‘Irish RM’ series?

It’s never Alan Stanford?

It never is. See my previous comment for a massive, tv-show-sized clue.

No takers on the above photo? No takers upstairs? None downstairs?

TK does have a touch of the Gabriel Byrne’s about him, ’tis true. Not sure GB has appeared as Aladdin in an RTE panto though. A black mark on his CV.

And Jimmy Stewart?? Miles off.
