Yes I remeber that as well Steve, Fox, Peter Vaughan is great, I loved him as Grouty in Porridge the best!

harry fenner in citizen smith he owned the club he was good and his mate has been in the sweeney think hes names sweeney too.

He's appeared in some great stuff over the years---including the classy version of Our Mutual Friend and The Moonstone fairly recently. Possibly his most bizarre role was as the ogre with backache in Time Bandits.

ive never ever seen our mutual friend but i recall a lady reading the book on the train as i was coming home from school in 1971.
