1.03 - Square Root Of Evil

[Frankymole]

Yes, I like the second one, he looks terribly distinguished, and liable to be humorous or sinister, so just the kind of chap to be one of Steed's bosses.

I love the new photos .
Thanks so much

I agree they are all the same person but at different life stages ( and toupees?;)

One thing that also appears in the three pictures is an elevated right shoulder. Im wondering if this is a handicap which could explain a lack of desire to be photographed

The previous "suspect" photo seems to have come from https://booksenstock.forumactif.com/t2379-heron-carvic, though I was reading up on a published (in book form) family biography by one of his relatives around the internet (can't find it now) and also saw it on some page linked to that book.

There's another instance on a member public family tree on Ancestry



The two more recently found ones look like the same person to me, I'm not so sure about the original but I wouldn't rule it out.

Featuring several Avengers actors. But notably Heron Carvic, if you want to hear what he's like when he's not playing a memorable Doctor Who monster! (Even though the episode title sounds very Dr Who, but it's from 1946, recreated in 1972)...

Dick Barton - Special Agent
1. The Cave of Secrets

Released On: 06 Nov 1972 Available for 29 days
Holidaying with his wartime pal Snowey White, ex-commando Dick Barton uncovers an enemy plot to capture a British secret weapon...


From 1946 to 1951, Dick Barton - Special Agent thrilled millions of listeners to the BBC Light Programme. The daily serial followed the exciting adventures of ex-commando Captain Richard Barton and his wartime mates Snowey and Jock, who solve all manner of intriguing crimes and mysteries.

Heralded by an iconic signature tune - Devil's Galop by Charles Williams - each gripping episode left listeners with a torrid cliff-hanger.

Sadly many of Dick's adventures didn't survive in the BBC Archive. But in 1972, as part of celebrations for the BBC's Golden Jubilee, Dick's very first ten-part adventure by Edward J Mason was recreated, featuring many of the original performers.

This is great fun, 1940s radio was so melodramatic and had so much exposition!

Sorry, it's stuck in "Outbox" and I can not send.

To dissolute:





Those three are all him. He's younger in the first two.

Also genuinely him is this one we had:


This one is confirmed as definitely not him:
