Rock Follies was my first telly job as an actor. It was recorded in the Thames TV studios by Teddington Lock, and shooting was held up after lunch one day because Charlotte Cornwell had gone missing.
We knew she had some serious money problems and earlier that day had had a visit from the bailiffs. For this she blamed Thames, who were notoriously slow with artists’ payments. The runner sent to find her discovered her in the accounts department upstairs sitting on a desk (in costume and makeup) refusing to move until a cheque appeared.
