| Ayshea Brough - UFO |
Remember when we were all little pervs growing up in the television age, taunted by those bewitching creatures that teased us with pleasures not yet quite understood? We saw a few of them in part one, but there were many more that weren't featured in that palpitating post. Therefore, to make up for that oversight, here's some more of those enchanting women that haunted the dreams and fantasies of our boyhood and teenage years.
Yes, there are probably loads I've missed out, but once I remember them, they can have part three all to themselves. Feel free to express your love for your favourite babe from the bevy of beauties that now follow.

Ayesha Brough went out with yer man Roy Wood out of ELO.
Wish I had something more substantial to add, but just thought I'd point that out!
I remember him from Wizzard on Top Of The Pops in the '70s, DS. I've heard of ELO of course, but I don't think I knew he was associated with them. So who's your favourite burd out of this lot?
Julie Newmar looked great in the sitcom My Living Doll. Can't believe Imogen Hassall hasn't featured yet
She's lined up for part 3, AL, along with several other stoaters.
BBC 4 is currently showing repeats of 'The Good Life' so you could include Felicity Kendal (or even Penelope Keith?)
And if Paula Wilcox is there what about Sally Thomsett?
Sheila Fearn was also in George & Mildred.
I'd never have recognised that last photo as Jacqueline Pearce. I only know her as Servalan.
The thing about Sally Thomsett, CJ, is that she looks like a wee girl and I just don't find her attractive. It just doesn't seem right for anyone to have those sort of feelings for someone who looked so perpetually under-age. There's going to be none of that sort of thing around here, he said, pompously.
But she wasn't under-age! Apparently when Sally Thomsett was making 'The Railway Children' she was told off for smoking by the director Lionel Jeffries even though Sally was about 20 at the time and older than Jenny Agutter, but Lionel Jeffries thought she was about 12. So I do know what you mean, Kid :D
Well, I knew she wasn't under age, CJ, but she looked it in Man About The House. (Never seen The Railway Children.) Funny that Lionel Jeffries thought she was about 12, because that's the age I'd have said she looked in MATH. Nah, I'd pick Paula anytime over her.
I've come to realize of late (thanks to the regular posting of the BBC Archive) that Lesley Judd of Blue Peter fame should get a special mention. By 1975 I was no longer watching Blue Peter, but school mates of mine were far wiser. Take a look at this clip and try not to laugh. https://twitter.com/BBCArchive/status/1361321868448391172?s=20 And for the comics-inclined amongst you, wince as she wields the scissors here https://twitter.com/BBCArchive/status/1272887859708596225?s=20
There's a letter by a Lesley Judd in an early issue of Wham! and I've always wondered if it might be from her. I'll take a wee look at these links shortly - just about to have a cuppa.
Kid, I'm amazed that you've never seen The Railway Children. It's a classic!
Never read the book either, CJ, and I think it's regarded as a classic too. Maybe one day, but neither the book nor the film are crying out to me for my attention.
Paula Wilcox! Was in a show about being a single mum and a cartoonist .
Don't think I've ever seen it, PS. I remember one about a guy who was a cartoonist who wore some kind of glove puppet though.
Just to add my two cents worth - the two women that I particularly recall being enamored of back in the day (the 70s) were Elizabeth Sladen and Felicity Kendal. I'm sure that there were others but those two were the first to spring to mind.
You never know, PC - perhaps they'll pop up in part three. I hope your missus isn't looking over your shoulder as you ogle these cuties, or you'll be making your own tea and sleeping in the spare room.
Well, as I didn't meet the missus until 1984 then I guess I could be excused. My story anyhow.
I dunno, PC - what woman likes to see her hubby looking at pictures of his old 'girlfriends'? Don't let her catch you. (Hee hee.)
The Paula Wilcox sitcom mentioned by Phil S was called 'Miss Jones & Son'.
In 'The Railway Children' Sally Thomsett and Jenny Agutter play two sisters and their mother was played by Dinah Sheridan who was the real-life mother of Jenny Hanley of Magpie fame - another TV cutie for your next list, Kid. And don't forget Mary Tamm, the original Romana from Doctor Who!
Mary Tamm was also Terry's Finnish girlfriend, Christina, in The Likely Lads movie, CJ.
Aren't they making a sequel to The Railway Children, with Jenny Agutter making a reappearance?
I hadn't heard of a sequel, Kid.
And yes, I remember Mary Tamm from the Likely Lads film. Terry says something Like:
"I came on holiday with a sexy young girl and she turns into Sherpa flippin' Tenzing".
Probably the best movie version ever made of any television comedy show I'd say, CJ.
Absolutely agree about the Likely Lads film.
My favourite line is "I'd offer you a can but I've only got the six".
I'm glad the BBC didn't wipe any of the '70s shows, DS, though they did with some of the '60s ones. I've got the DVD box set, plus the movie which is sold separately. Great stuff.
The two Steptoe & Son films are pretty good too, Kid. And the Dad's Army film.
Yeah, but Likely Lads is best, CJ. And so says all of me!
The likely lads was great but I prefer the nearest and dearest and love thy neighbour films myself. What a pity they never made a film of mind your language
You're obviously havin' a larf, AL - which is arguably more than those three TV shows ever provided.
Ooh! I was going to mention the For the love of Ada film too with a great opening theme by the great Gilbert o sullivan but perhaps I won't bother now.
Too late - you already did.
There was a film of Love Thy Neighbour? I can't recall ever seeing it. And I can't even remember Nearest And Dearest or For The Love Of Ada at all.
It was either the Likely Lads film or the TV series which featured the great line about life being like a box of chocolates:
"The top layer is already gone and somebody has nicked the orange creams from the bottom".
I remember the shows AL mentioned as TV series, but can't recall if I ever saw the movies based on them or not.
That's my favourite line from the movie, CJ, which had the three Ps - pathos, poignancy, and profundity (as had the TV show).
Miss Jones and Son! found it https://youtu.be/xZNEj8LrBHs
I remember watching it but other than that nothing about it. Now that I have rewatched it, It is more bittersweet. You have to remember this was right after Man About the House.
Thanks for that, PS. I'll be taking a look when I have time to sit and watch it. Can't recall if I ever saw it at the time, but if I did, I'll remember when I see it. Funny how the memory sometimes needs a prompt, eh?
My brother met Jaclyn Smith once! He delivered a plane ticket to her back when they had actual tickets. Course I didn’t get to meet her.
Just out of interest, PS, how many of the American stars in this post have you actually met? And did you ever meet any British ones? (I seem to recall you once saying you did, but remind me.)
Rather than going on about individual actress-babes, I thought I'd say a word about THE SAINT, since I think that was the British show that made the most varied use of gorgeous women. A few garnered international fame, like Shirley Eaton and Veronica Carlson, but it was fun seeing a lot of hot girls who worked purely in Europe-- including Mary Peach, Viviana Ventura and Nicole Shelby.
And let's not forget Margaret Nolan, who also appeared in The Saint, GP. And then there was Budgie's girlfriend Hazel, played by Lynn Dalby. Wotta darlin' she was!
