Was Bill Wong in "Agatha Raisin"?

He was indeed.

 

[MotCO]

As a bit of a clue for one of the remaining clues, I should clarify that they were made for UK tv, not necessarily based in the UK.

8/ James Langton was in Red Dead.

Dixon of Dock Green and Van der Valk are correct. Care to enlarge upon the last one - it was not the answer I was expecting, but was it one of the books? Who was the main character?

 

[SuspectUsual]

James Langton is a Lynda La Plante creation. Called something like Beyond Suspicion??

Yes, that is correct - but it was actually Above Suspicion.

We have a three-way tie between @xotGD, @444045 and @Mcr Warrior. First one to respond can take the floor!

If I may...

George Galloway is standing in the forthcoming Batley and Spen by-election. What is the name of the party he is standing for?

 

[Gloster]

The Monster Raving Ego Party.

 

[xotGD]

The Monster Raving Ego Party.

Not quite!

 

[millemille]

The "giving me nightmares that wake me up, screaming, in the middle of the night" party?

 

[xotGD]

The "giving me nightmares that wake me up, screaming, in the middle of the night" party?

Not that either!

One of his (what seems like many) parties - mostly created by him - is / was Respect, but I'm not sure whether he's standing for them this time. If it isn't, it could well be the "Jeremy Corbyn for President" party .... ?

No, not Respect this time.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Okay, the "George Galloway for Dictator" party .... ? Seriously, though, is there a connection with Yorkshire in the title ... the Yorkshire Independence Party?

No, it is a national party, not a regional party. Indeed, its full title is "******* ***** of Britain".

 

[xotGD]

Time for a clue:

The second word is 'Party ', so what is the first?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Seven letters, presumably?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

No, it is a national party, not a regional party. Indeed, its full title is "******* ***** of Britain".

Based on the above?!

 

[EbbwJunction1]

"Workers"?

 

[xotGD]

"Workers"?

Correct! Gorgeous George's latest vehicle is "The Workers Party of Britain".

The floor is yours...

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Thanks - but I'll declare the Hustings open.

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Prentis Hancock, Nick Tate, Zienia Merton, Clifton Jones, Anton Phillips, Yasuko Nagazumi and Tony Anholt all made regular (non-lead) appearances on which 1970's TV series?

 

[444045]

Great favourite of mine - The Protectors with Robert Vaughan as Harry Rule and Nyree Dawn Porter as Contessa Di Contini.

Tony Anholt played Paul Buchet.

Yasuko Nagazumi played Suki

Tony Anholt played Paul Buchet.

Sorry, no, although Yasuko Nagazumi (as Suki) was a fellow co-star with Tony Anholt on "The Protectors".

 

[444045]

Ok possibly jumped in too soon earlier, having followed Tony Anholt's career till his death in 2002,

Space 1999 was his next tv series, before Howards Way, The Sweeney and Only Fools and Horses.
