Hani also appeared in Special Branch, in the series 2 episode "Dinner Date", and was also in a publicity photo of the glamour girls from that series:

That was an excellent episode of Special Branch, but only makes sense when watched as part of the story arc between Derren Nesbitt and Sandra Bryant's (opposing sides of the Iron Curtain) characters.

Forgot Anne Curthoys was in it; she's excellent in 1970s daytime soapy-drama "Rooms", which I got addicted to on Talking Pictures TV recently!

Very interesting, but some actors ended up on the cutting room floor (Penelope Keith in Something Nasty in the Nursery for instance). Some actors were hired as doubles in rehearsals or never finally cast, wouldn't put it beyond actors/actresses and agents to pad resumes with a "white lie" about that.

Could she have a the 50,000 pound cigar party by the way?
