Gareth Hunt in “Good Grief Moncrieff!”, broadcast on July 27th 1996 on RTÉ One.

Great news for Gareth Hunt fans.

Today I added two Nescafe coffee commercials with Gareth on Steedumbrella:

Steedumbrella page already presents eleven different versions. Frankly it is no surprisingly, as Gareth began acting in Nescafe commercials since 1978 and participated until the late 1980s.

You never know who might turn up while watching old sitcoms! Today I was watching an old 1974 episode of Bless this house starring Sid James. The delivery man turned out to be Gareth Hunt, roughly 18 months before he played Gambit! Bless this house is on Forces TV, so will probably be on again soon.

I would imagine it is just a matter of time before it's discovered by those that have brought out similar 70's expoitation films. I think the film must have died on it's arse though or had a very limited release. It certainly didn't come round our way, else I would have watched like a shot.

I see Deep Roy was in, who's been in everything from The New Avengers (Target!) to Doctor Who, X Files, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes and Return of the Jedi. He should write his memoirs.

and here's a clip and trailer from the previous (non Gareth) film.
