    I was actually in a "Tales of the Unexpected" - (they were produced by Anglia TV, which was based in Norwich where I grew up.) I was about 11 I think, it was August, and I "starred" in an episode called "The Party" alongside (!) Robert Morley. I was a carol singer, and dressed up in woolly hat, scarf, duffel coat (in August!) and the city centre shops had all been decorated like Christmas- can't remember what carol we sang, but we were all outside the place where the party was supposed to be taking place, when it burst into flames. I was on screen for about 5 seconds - my dad referred to me as "the famous back of the head"!
