Father Charlie + We'll Think Of Something

A couple of rare 1980's British comedies. 

Father Charlie....back before there was Father Ted there was Father Charlie. Don't think of those Derek Nimmo shows. Lionel Jeffries was very good in the title role. With some familiar faces like Deddie Davies and Jamilla Massey (Mind Your Language). Anna Quayle was in Grange Hill in the 90's. (Her first film or TV appearance was in 1964's A Hard Day's Night.) Appearances by several popular character actors such as John Savident, Deirdre Costello, Diana King, Terry Duggan, Tony Selby........

We'll Think Of Something starred Sam Kelly and Marcia Warren (who had appeared together in Now And Then just before this show). Everyone knows who they are, right? Oh, alright. Marcia Warren: Vicious, Agatha Raisin, Edge of Heaven, The Cafe, Life of Riley, No Place Like Home and appearances in everything from The Dustbinmen to Father Brown. The late Sam Kelly: Barbara, Holding On, On The Up, Haggard, 'Allo 'Allo!, Porridge and appearances in everything from The Liver Birds to A Touch of Frost. Some of his last appearances include the film Mr. Turner, Outnumbered, My Family, Poirot, New Tricks......
