Trying to find UTV ones.
Julian and hard-hitting reporter Ivan Little.
John Daly from BBC NI did one, seeing him with hair and a tache is a shock - cos when I was a kid, he was a slaphead.
May McFettridge is pure UTV too, Eamonn Holmes' cousin as a kind of Ulster Mrs Brown.

Holy fuck, just remembered in Father Ted - Tentacles of Doom, Dougal is excited about the Director's Cut of Aliens.
Remember what the director's cut shows - that Lambert was a trans femme.
Poor Graham. He probably thinks she was force-femmed and raised female against her will.

Madoc as Abanazer - holy shit, that's good casting - the problem is he'd be almost too menacing
Powell could do it too.
While James Whale isn't...

Another one for the giallo/panto crossover pool (Un ombra nell'ombra (1978) for Sir Frank)
Millicent Martin, some years before Frasier, but already US-based in Snow White with Warwick Davis as Prof.
Lorraine Chase and Sandor 'Crossroads/Hammer' Eles in Puss in Boots

She looks a bit of a Wavy Davy, like she's playing a Simple Jack in a TV movie.
God I love that phrase (thanks @declouxj.bsky.social and @willsloanesq.bsky.social )

The thing is, he's a showband behind the scenes guy. And very few of those guys stayed in the music industry.
Instead, they became politicians and councillors, like Albert Reynolds, Donie Cassidy (pictured cos of his amazing wig)
It's like Fianna Fail didn't want Lulu.

Well, he did play supervillains (as Immortal Xavier Cloud in Highlander - he also did a Heartbeat, which feel like the two centres of pop star stunt casting in the 90s)

RE:lack of budget in Great Mysteries, here is an 'exterior' in the ep of the Furnished Room, set in 70s New York. Clarence Williams III and Irene Worth the American names, but this is supposed to be a New York tenement exterior (intercut with stock footage of some brownstones)
November 22, 2025 at 9:23 PM
There's one other ep with Clarence Williams III which has this extraordinary realistic shot.

@declouxj.bsky.social @willsloanesq.bsky.social RE:American comedians going out foreign to do a film...
Phil Silvers did a Carry On.
November 19, 2025 at 9:25 PM
Yeah, but he did a version where every woman was played by a guy.
I remember seeing a photo of Tadhg Murphy en femme as a kid that possibly helped trans me.

Never heard of Taghmon.
Now googling it and wow... Screen Wexford trying to sell it as a location. We should all go down and make something there.

Fry and Laurie dragged up all the time, but that was par the course.
Other men have played it recently who are less experienced with drag (Gyles Brandreth, David Suchet, Brian 'Disney's Robin Hood' Bedford, Alan Stanford did it a ton here, although he cast male actors to play other female roles)

Reminder this is a real film. Once turned up on Irish TV yonks ago. Harry Alan Towers produced.
Stars Don Ameche, Burgess Meredith and Bill Maynard.
'Popular Bill' presumably following his mate Terry Scott's advice to work in South Africa.

The thing is, A Study in Terror is far more the pulpier Ripper vs Sherlock outing.
The difference in the films is outlined in which EastEnders legend plays Annie Chapman.

Just noticed that the actor playing Malfoy Jr in the Broadway/LA run of the Potter play is although he/him according to his insta, wearing ball gowns to the premieres, and also retweeting anti-JKR events 'Wizards for trans rights'.

This is Aidan Close, who plays Scorpius Malfoy in the LA run of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. He uses male pronouns and gay, so maybe that's why Auntie Jo hasn't Scannered herself.
Or maybe she's too sozzled to notice one of her own actors is rocking a pretty green dress.

It does remind of when they'd mockup a White House set in TVC.

Another example of pre-Tiger Irish ageing.

See also Odd Man Out costar Joseph Tomelty playing old men in a ton of movies until his retirement due to complications from a car accident in 1964, at 53. (He lived another thirty years, long enough to have Sting as a son-in-law)

Watching the Manning ep.
