Private Notes
Jack - who joined Coronation Street soap in 1960 as an original cast member - was a reluctant subject when Eamonn surprised him on the set of the Rovers Return - his response being: “Yes, well I’m going home!” Among those greeting Jack at Thames Television's Euston Road Studios are actors Thora Hird and Arthur Lowe and television producer Johnnie Hamp.
Eamonn surprised the comedy actor on location for his current hit ITV sitcom Man About The House, with the help of the show's other stars, who join the tribute.
Richard - who had clearly taken advantage of the pre-show champagne - is greeted by, among others, the actor Trevor Howard, who appears to have also partaken of the hospitality drinks!
Peter Butterworth, actor, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews in Selfridges department store in central London.
During the Second World War, Peter served as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, and was taken prisoner-of-war after his plane was shot down while flying in an attack off the Dutch coast. He was taken to Stalag Luft III where he began to perform in the camp's entertainment shows, along with fellow prisoners Talbot Rothwell and Rupert Davies.
After the war he pursued a career in show business, finding work on television in sketch shows and children’s programmes. He appeared in minor film roles throughout the 1950s and joined the regular cast of the Carry On film series in 1965 with Carry On Cowboy.
etula Clark, singer and actress, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews during a TV Times magazine awards ceremony at the ATV Studios in Borehamwood.
Petula established herself as a child actress and performer during the Second World War, and later would achieve success as a recording artist during the 1950s. The enormous success of the single Downtown in 1964 led to an international career, with a series of popular upbeat hits, such as Colour My World and Don't Sleep in the Subway.
