I seem to remember the late Spike Milligan ending some of his Q series sketches with DJ covered in dust and cobwebs saying “Where are they now?”.

Looked up a list, and it’s a varied bunch from the likes of CHristopher Trace, BIlly Bunter Gerry Campion and the then-only-30-odd Janice Nichols of THank Your Lucky STars to only then-recent newsmakers like Apollo 13’s Jim Lovell and Midnight Express’ Billy Hayes, Brian Poole of the Tremeloes to Hollywood relics like Fay Wray, Cornel Wilde, Rudy Vallee, Buster Crabbe, British ice skater-turned-Monogram star Belita, Mandy Miller…

Mandy Miller was probably the most famous Brit out of that lot, in the 1950s anyway, though not in the 1980s. Saw her recently in the CFF film Adventure in the Hopfields demonstrating much pluck and grit in an unexpectedly tense story. Melvyn Hayes was a feral baddie!
