Dave Haskill is a removal man and party guest.

Rebecca Jeffrey (production manager) is one of Dr Pesci’s patients and another advertising executive auditioning David Bowie.

Steve Day (owner of this site) is yet another advertising executive, and a hanger on at Mr Shine’s.

Jack Richardson plays “boy” dissatisfied with Jack Flatley’s interpretation of TV’s Mr Gale’s Honey Bee. See the Behind the Scenes page for a little more about Jack.

Gregory Dow (Phil’s nephew) plays a policeman at Seaford, in the “My mother died immediately; I held her in my arms when I was barely an hour old” scene.

James Bentley plays the Crane Man.

Jack Strong plays the Tattooist in Seaford*

* No he doesn’t. Jack Strong is the name of Stella Street’s former publicity company; it’s not a person as such. This part is actually Ben Swaffer (without his glasses—he’s a master of disguise).
