Amazed I didn't recognise John Carson, he's hardly changed.
Brian Tesler was Head of ABC TV, David Marshall a designer on the Honor Blackman series (Mandrake amongst other) and Alwyn Turner wrote a book about Terry Nation. Hope that helps.

Alexandra is seen very briefly at about 1.54 minutes, looking very chic in a white outfit.

Thanks for that. A nice little bonus if you're an Avengers and a Champions fan.

Thanks again, Jaz!

Just the one mystery lady still unidentified, then... Anyone got a guest list to hand?

A separate event was held with Roger Marshall later in the year, with screenings of Mandrake and The Hour That Never Was.

If you mean the one at the Barbican, he didn't get to that either, and was replaced by Gerry O'Hara. I think Roger did get to a seperate event in the Chichester area though.

Regarding the mystery lady above, she looks a bit like Sylvia Syms, but I could be wrong.

I meant the one at Chichester in August. He was very informative and generous with his time.

Ah - both events screened the same episodes then. Wish I could have got to the Chichester one, but I didn't hear about it in time.

David Marshall designed the following episodes from series 3:

The Undertakers
The Medicine Men
Dressed to Kill
Mandrake
The Outside-In Man
Esprit De Corps

Great to see these photos.

The mystery woman looks familiar to me but no idea who!:)
