OK, I have had a drink in the Bar in BBC television centre, plus had a meal
in the famed Canteen, saw a few people but can't remember any names, other
than thinking ooh, that's so-and-so.

Also, when I was a child star (!) I did some work on Tom Bakers `Book
Tower' and got a Christmas card from him.  While filming at Yorkshire TV in
Leeds I saw lots of the cast from Emmerdale Farm (as it was then known) and
a few people from Calendar (which is probably not worth crowing about) in
the canteen (funny how so many of these people eat isn't it?).

"And there's more", yes, I've met him, and his wife, and he is actually
quite sane although I couldn't cope with his show, my Uncle was comparing
(sp?) the show which is always embarrassing so I try to avoid going to
anything which involves family.

On the other hand, I went to see Roy `Chubby' Brown and nearly died, didn't
get to meet him unfortunately.

My mum has hired Jim Bowen for a gig sometime soon so I may meet him, but I
would rather not. :-)  My mum is an agent by the way.  Some rather tasty

There is not a real good way of putting this without sounding indelicate, 
but does Derek Jacobi have a natural speech impediment?  Apart from his role 
of Claudius, I've seen him in "Dead Again" and a one man show about an early 
British computer genius.  In both roles, he had his "I, Claudius" stammer.

If he does have an impediment, he apparently is able to overcome it for 
periods of time.  In the States, he served as host for a series of 
Monteverdi operas and spoke flawlessly, as he did in Dead Again until the 
end of the film.  Is it just coincidence that he plays characters who 
stammer?

I enjoy Jacobi a great deal and am just curious if anyone in this newsgroup 
can shed some light on this matter.

It's pretty unlikely that you've seen only one of them, since they almost
always seem to work together.  They are Liz and Jean Sagal, younger sisters
of Kate Sagal of "Married... With Children".

They starred in a sitcom called "Double Trouble" in the mid-80's.  I've
heard that between the two seasons they actually switched which one played
which role.

Since then they've done lots of guest work on TV.

Actually, there's one time when one of them almost worked alone.  She was
in the "What Price Gloria" episode of "Quantum Leap".  However, I think the
other had a cameo as her reflection in a mirror (this allowed them to show
her with the person Sam was replacing).

Does Colleen Dewhurst's estate get a royalty when her picture is shown on
_Murphy Brown_, as on last night's episode?  (Until she died, she appeared
occasionally as Murphy's mother.)  It was my impression that the so-called
right of publicity doctrine may require this.  Presumably the legalities are
the same WRT pictures of other deceased stars, e.g. John Hancock's picture as
part of the bar decor on _Love and War_.

Speaking of morphing and Scott, I wonder if the Quantum Leap f/x crew are
wishing they could put a morph effect into the leap instead of the bluelight
they now use.  When they did the blue light, morphing wasn't common, but I bet
they'd love to have the leapee morph into Sam, and then have Sam morph back
into the leapee at the end.

SOME women who report sexual harrassment ARE lying or insane.  And since there
have been a few leaps already where we met some of them (Raped, for instance,
and to a certain extent What Price Gloria? come to mind), it wouldn't be
entirely bad to have heard the other side of the story.  It DOES happen.  Sam
could certainly have made a reference, via memory (even if it is Swiss-cheesed) 
to remind us that it's sometimes the truth... the whole mystery of it could
have been done a lot better, and in such a way that we could have been reminded
of both facts: that women who report sexual harrassment aren't always lying or
insane, but that sometimes they are, and most importantly, that you can't judge
without looking into it.
