PHIL EASON .
Or as he always was to me : my "Brother From Another Mother"
He always said if we had grown up in the same town we would have been making puppets together as kids , or trying to recreate special effects 'Planet of the Apes' make up with Copydex !
Carol , the kindly , mischievous , big hearted lady behind the green make-up.
A talented Cabaret Singer long before she took up witchcraft and chasing after Emus.
Wonderfully funny , with an infectious giggle. And on set a gloriously naughty 'Corpser'.
Sadly missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.
Bryan Kennedy was the first of my BOVTS classmates to move on to the Big Stage in the Sky.
Bryan was our song and dance man with an infectious smile and a wonderful voice.
Just a couple of year later he was followed by Andy Black , who specialised in playing deep brooding villains. But our Jungle Book 'Sher Khan' was in fact just a big lovable pussy cat. Both sorely missed.
And I want to say to the rest of my year group ...I don't want to to be adding anyone else to this page anytime soon. Mickey Roonies, stay happy and healthy.
