The 12th September 1991 was my third and final day on that episode of "House of Elliott". Our two dance routines had been honed to perfection and we spent all of that day shooting the two scenes that involved those dances. Over those past days I had been returning to stay the night at the home of a Toastmaster colleague of mine at Stroud in Gloucestershire. It was a pleasant journey and saved me the long return journey that would have been another 135 miles to Kettering and therefore made them very long driving hours after a lengthy filming day in Bath.
6 years later, on this day in 1997, I arrived at RAF Warrington, 4 miles south of Swindon, to be in an episode of "The Last Salute", a comedy TV series about an on-the-road comic adventures and roadside dramas of a group of rival AA & RAC patrol men, each out to prove that they are the best in the business in Britain in the 1960's. The series starred Paul Brown, Philip Jackson, Jo Unwin and Claire Cox.
The scene that I was involved with was set on a Main Road ( which was actually a dis-used runway on the Airfield that had been set to look like an accident on a busy road.)
The only series of that programme was screened in 1998.
