I remember he had the same 'rounded' hair-style, minus the pony-tail that
Ainley had, and after the 'sea devils' episode (Pertwee series), his hair
style changed to a more wavey form...  I don't know... it's been so long

It's the first I've heard of that show, but you can catch a younger
Alexi Sayle on "The Young Ones" on YTV on late-night weekends.
Man, I can't believe the guest stars that were on The Young Ones:
  Steven Fry, Hugh Laurie, Tony Robinson, Norman Lovett, Mel Smith,
  Gryph(?) Jones, Robbie Coltrane, French & Saunders, Hale & Pace, and
  many others.
The show almost reads as a "who's who" in British comedy, not to mention
the fact that it was produced by Ed Bye.

assistant: Pogue mahone.
 The following is nae meant as a flame, only a statement of me personal
 opinion:
 I would have to disagree w/ ye about McCoy's portrayal.  Nae forget that
 each incarnation will handle problems differently.  Partially one of the
 reasons the original creators set it up the way they did, to maintain
 variety and add spice.  That's nae to say that everyone would agree with
 what the writers did w/ the character, but inevitably, that's the way it
 tends to be.  BTW, ye canna completely blame McCoy for his incarnation of
 the Doc, after all, he nae wrote the episodes as well.
 FYI, I am a diehard DW fan.  Me personal favourite's Jon Pertwee.  (Met him
 too.  Really nice guy.)  TTYL

 Thank ye.
 Oh, I dunno.  Nyssa, Leela, and Ace weren't exactly chopped liver. D;)
 Oh, I wouldn't say that.  She nicely took over from Mel, the Scream Machine.
 That and I can think of a couple of episodes where Ace stood out.  Problem
 is, I'm lousy w/ remembering titles.  One was "Battlefield" (but then, I'm
 also a fan of Arthurian legend), and the other one was w/ the two factions
 of Daleks set against each other.  Davros reappeared in this one.
 Both. D)

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
     Over the last 5 months I have been watching the Avengers on the
     Satellite, the Encore's Mystery channel. It's seems like 70% of the
     shows have at least one actor from a Dr Who show. Last month in a
     show titled "From Venus with Love" Jon Pertwee played a brigadier
     Whitehead  for about 10 minutes before being killed off. I thought
     the part was very Pertwee.
     The other big collection of who members is being shown again this
     friday at 6:20, titled "Stay Tuned" the villans at least 3 of them
     are on several Dr Who shows...Rodger Delgado looking just like he does
     in Dr Who, also a very young and pretty Kate O'Mara with him.
     So we get The Rani working with the Master long before she left
     her mark in Who.
Till Later,
           Bob

When Mr. Atkinson was in Toronto on his promotional Mr. Bean tour he

user: You are replying to All about "Alexi Sayle, your queries answered by".

Write your reply.

assistant: After reading several messages about Alexi Sayle I thought I'd chip
in. Alexi Sayle appeared in every episode of the Young Ones, mainly as
different members of the Bolotski (sp?) family, but also as a police chief
who looked like Mussolini and a train driver with an interest in
revolotionaries. Alexi Sayles' Stuff ran for 2 series (the second started
with a very good parody of that kids mikey Mouse club song) in the early/mid
80s and is IMo one of the funniest british sketch shows of recent  years, it
was written by sayle himself and also Andrew Marshal and david  Renwick, who
went on seperately to write the hit (over here anyway) sit-coms  One Foot in
the Grave and 2.4 Children. It was a combination of often surreal  sketches
and sayles walking and talking monologues. Sayle was supported in  Stuff by a
very varied and talented group of people including Angus Deaton.
        After a few years without seeing much of Sayle, we got The All New
Alexi Sayle Show, which was a pale imitation of Stuff, nolonger written by
Marshal and renwick and without Deaton and co. The sketches decended into
'funny the first time' catchphrase driven character pieces, with only Sayles
monologues still of high quality. this was followed by The All New Alexi
sayle Show 2, which somehow managed to be a lot better, some of the
characters remained, mainly Bobby Chariot, top warm up man, but the rest
seemed fresher than before somehow. That was about 3 years ago and to be
honest I cant say ive heard anything of him since. i think he said he was
going to write a book, but that was the last i heard of him.
        Looking back on what Ive written it all sounds very dry and dull,
sorry, but I was just trying to get as much AS related info across in one go.
