I was watching this tonight and decided to check up on the cast.

Arthur Lowe was 55-56 when he made this and was dead at 66.

He always looked old to me yet I’m now 3 years older than he was when he made this.

John Le Mesurier was 59 when he made this and dead at 71........he always looked old as well.

Bill Pertwee who played Hodges was only 45 when he made the film.

The vicar was 40.

Funny how tine stands still in films and we gradually catch them up when you think about it.

Harry Potter will be 40 before you know it.
