Up to no good, I'll be bound ...

It was, I think John Boden who used to say to me "What are you up to, Jules? Up to no good, I'll be bound ..." which leads me neatly to this, from the Chronicler's 1985 series, debauch in a caravan. Left to right, ?, Bob Hopegood, Nick Snashall, Ros Cleal, Julian Thomas, an outsize teddy bear and Julie Lancley. It looks remarkably cosy. Was this the famed 'Naughty Nicky's' - I cannot tell, I was not there: I await enlightenment ...

A 1985 medley

From the 1985 season, clockwise from the top left, Clive Anderson, Bob Hopegood, Katie Gold with David Griffiths behind her to the left, Ken Collier, Ken again and Bob again and finally Julian Thomas on his cutting that year dubbed 'Slot City'.

I know quite a number of readers like to download the photos which I publish: there are a handful of photos which have only been posted as part of a collage. If you would like a copy of any of the original component photos, please let me know by e-mail (link on the left approx 6th item down) and I'll send them to you.

Bob Hopegood about to do himself an injury

A curious portrait from the Chronicler's collection for 1985. Bob Hopegood looks as though he might do himself a mischief serious enough to require hospital attention, if indeed that foot, boot and leg are even his.  Let's hope reality was less painful than Dr Phillpotts's photo makes it look.
