Help.

Iainso's picture

OK, here goes.

Prompted by various threads on here, including Paul Waring's recent request for TV help, and also the Childhood scares thread, I now put my question to you, the good people of Word town.

Sometime in the seventies, I was watching TV in the afternoon, and a scene that haunts me to this day came on. I hesitate to ask for help on this, because it genuinely scared the living daylights out of me, and gave me nightmares for ages.

I need you to identify this for me.

I reckon it might have been part of the Thriller series.

The scene is in a car park.

Well dressed man and blonde lady are heading for their car.

Another car arrives (I think), guy with longish hair and a shotgun gets out, grabs blonde and shoots well dressed man.

Well dressed man collapses, dead, and the area around him fills with blood. Lots of blood.

Finally, an overhead shot of dead man, and blood. Lots of blood.

Sorry I can't give you any more, only a nagging suspicion that the well dressed man was also a straight man in Ealing comedy, or possibly some Carry On's. Thats only a suspicion, mind. I have trawled IMDB for pictures of the actor I'm thinking of, to no avail.

All help appreciated,

Ta

Who do you think it might be, Iain?

That might help.

I can't think of any straight supporting roles in either an Ealing or a Carry on. I take it this must be '50's or '60' era personality?

I have to say I'm a bit lost.

Having Google image searched every cast member, I'm still coming up with nowt.
The feel of the show I'm thinking of is definitely in the 'Thriller', 'Armchair Thriller', or possibly 'Gangsters' type of genre. Oh bother, I'm not doing myself any favours, am I?
