The picture above is something of a mystery. In the early days of the website I wrote to every actor, director, producer, anyone I could find who had worked with Bird enclosing a stamped self-addressed enevelope for a reply. I received a lot of helpful replies but the majority brought no response.

Many, many years later, in early 2020, I received an envelope addressed to me in my own handwriting containing the above photocopy of a photograph of Bird with Susan Gilmore but nothing to indicate who it was from. It was clearly one of my early SAEs. Could it have been from Gilmore herself? I have no idea!




BBC PUBLICITY

The BBC publicity department had some funny ideas when they came to issue promotional stills for the series. One could be forgiven for thinking they had no idea what it was about.

Though it is always nice to see a lass in her sunwear, these shots of Susan Gilmore were hardly representative of the her character, Anna Marie Jordahl, or the series generally.
