- TriviaActor Roger Delgado has a small uncredited speaking role playing a sandal vendor in the town marketplace. Delgado was mainly known for playing villains, appearing in many ITC television productions including "Danger Man", "The Avengers", "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)" and "The Champions". He gained wider popularity with his recurring role as the nefarious Spanish envoy Mendoza in the historical TV series "Sir Francis Drake" (1961-62) but is best known internationally for originating the role of the Doctor's arch-enemy The Master in "Doctor Who". Delgado played The Master for two years (1971-1973) and featured in eight series. The Master's story arc (and Pertwee's tenure as the third incarnation of The Doctor) were intended to have ended with a story called "The Final Game", in which The Master ultimately sacrifices himself to save The Doctor, but this story had to be dropped (replaced by the series "Planet of the Spiders") after Delgado was killed, aged 55, in a car accident while making a TV series on location in Turkey in 1973. Jon Pertwee, who played the third Doctor and was a close friend, cited Delgado's untimely death as one of the main reasons he decided to quit the series in 1974.
Featured review
Paddy what have you done
Charlie Drake, the small, red haired, fat trying comedian, is Sands, a travel agent in this film written and directed by John Paddy Carstairs.
Carstairs made some great films for Norman Wisdom, but he struggled a lot to make anything of the strictly middle school comic (as in Adam Sandler) Charlie Drake.
Sands is sent to the middle east to establish a resort in an area contested by two local tribal leaders, one with a secret oil contract, after another travel agent is assasinated.
There are long scenes of big healthy girls in the harem, the boys in year 7 would have liked that. Product placement - Cinzano.
