I’m back…and so is my voice…welcome to another edition of tales from a very minor celebrity and thank you for your patience…I’ve spent a lovely few weeks back in Spain where I lived for 6 years and got over a throaty infection which I’m sure I picked up on the flight…anyway it was great to get some Spanish sunshine on these old bones, rest my throat and come back fit healthy and a little bit tanned to start recording more episodes of my podcast….
As promised at the end of episode 6 I said you’d hear from two child actors who I had the pleasure of speaking to some years ago when I went through a stage of contacting stars from some of my favourite programmes back in the day, and I’m talking about when I was still at school so these are cult classics from the 70’s, all American, programmes such as the original Star Trek, The Dukes of Hazard, Starsky and Hutch, The A team and The Beverly Hill Billies…those sorts of programmes….so what I used to do is contact the stars of these shows through their websites and to my amazement everyone who I contacted, without exception agreed to do an interview with me.
Anyway over the next few weeks I play you some of these interviews starting with two child actors Butch Patrick who played Eddie Munster in The Munsters…and Billy Mumy who was Will Robinson in Lost In Space.
