Hmm, I think none of the actress in these photos looks like Sheila, Piers.
There is good news, Piers, I found a photo of the young Carole Boyer, who played the role Christine in Avengers episode "Please Don't Feed the Animals" (1961).

I have been told that the small boy is Steven Morley, also credited in Oliver! but I can find no independent corroboration of that.denis rigg wrote:Clive Moss
Actor
This was mentioned in Spotlight (several editions, the earliest I found since 1967), that Clive participated in The Avengers.
Clive participated in many TV and movies, according to Aveleyman he looks like...
...based on episode "Alf's Broken Leg" of TV series "Til Death Do Us Part" (1972).
Hmm, he is very similar to the boy from Avengers episode "A Surfeit of H2O".
I went to the IMDb and found a list of his credited works:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0608935/
Earliest credited work - as Fagin's Boy in movie Oliver! (1968).
Yes, small boy from Avengers episode played there, exactly as one of Fagin's Boys:
According to Spotlight, Clive Moss also participated in following works:
TV series
Court Martial
Movies
1. Up Jumped a Swagman
2. The Nanny
3. One Million Years B.C.
4. Operation Third Form
5. The Spy with a Cold Nose
6. Fahrenheit 451
7. The Christmas Trees
8. Quiller Memorandum
9. Charlie Bubbles
10. Half a Sixpence
Hmm, this time I could not find his in the mentioned works by Aveleyman and Moviedude.
It seems to be necessary to personally watch some of these films, since I'm sure that his identification in the episode "Alf's Broken Leg" of TV series "Til Death Do Us Part" is true.

No, Piers, alas - Steve Morley is not our boy.dissolute wrote:I have been told that the small boy is Steven Morley, also credited in Oliver! but I can find no independent corroboration of that.
There is posted online-interview with him and an attached photo:
http://doctorwhomark.blogspot.com/2013/ ... orley.html
A face identical to the actor who is listed on the Moviedude as Steve Morley:
In his early career he was known as Steven Morley, and if he was actually born in 1953, then he should have been about 12 years in the Avengers. and our boy looks like a preschooler.

Wow, Many Thanks for your find, Piers! The old mystery is now revealed.
If not this, I would hardly have returned to the thought of continuing the trace for Steven Morley.

Now I'm bit re-reading the book The Ultimate Avengers (Dave Rogers) and just found a forgotten info about that the mother of the director Lewis Gilbert participated as an extra in The Avengers (it is possible that Lewis said about, considering that his mother died in 1972).
So...
Ada Pruzansky (aka Ada Griver and Ada Gilbert)
Actress and dancer
I can not find her photo except the one on Ancestry:

Oliver Maguire
Actor
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0536619/
http://www.nerf-herders-anonymous.com/p ... liver.html
This was mentioned in Belfast Telegraph (24 March 1964), that Oliver participated in The Avengers, somewhere in first quarter of 1964 (when he came to London from Ireland).
It is interesting that many sources on the Internet mention that Oliver began to act in films and on television from 1966, but now it is obvious that this is not so.

I don't recognise Oliver but there's a great photo from 1967 in my '68 Spotlight, I'll post it when I can.
