Seventies Man
|
This was my favourite show back in the early 1970s- probably as I could relate to it more as I was still at school. There was something so wrong about it when looking back as the pupils were all in fact adult actors. For some reason I did not even take that into account when the show went out.
It was not John Alderton or the pupils that made the show foe me. It was the caretaker played by the amazing Derek Guyler, he was so much like the caretaker at our comprehensive it was unreal.
I did watch the LWT spin off called the Fenn Street Gang but it did not work for me. What other comedy spin offs from the 70s worked?

Rennie

always loved Dennis in that, trying to remember all the other character names.
Duffy?

Duffy yes. The cool dude with the blonde hair was the one I wanted to be at school. I cannot remember his name or anything. But perhaps the teacher I liked the most was the Welsh guy Richard Davis who played ‘Hopkins”. I just loved his one liners.
The teacher played by John Alderton was just too boring.
