cop shop episode 42

IMDB doesn't say anything about Bud Tingwell being in these eps of Cop Shop (41 & 42, I think) but it has the most unusual storyline about Tingwell's character Keith York, a high-up in the police, who's being blackmailed by crooks who have tapes of his psychiatric sessions wherein he somehow does or does not confess (?) to being homosexual, or actually I think just having urges in that direction which he has not and most definitely will never act on. There is a most peculiar sequence in which, for no obvious reason, he and his wife (played by Cecily Polson) have spectacular sex and then talk about it (the sex). The situation is not solved, which is to say he presumably continues to be gay, though the blackmail materials are recovered. But the Yorks seem very happy. 

I don't really know what was going on here. It was like a script written by AI where AI was told that gayness was a dose of nits.

special cameo by 'louise humphrey'

This episode of D4 (screened 21 March 1973) is a great showcase for Cecily Polson who, for some reason, Crawfords always typecast as a slightly rough young woman, heart of gold optional. In this case she has one of those, and Polson plays her with genuine subtlety. But of course what really jumps out at me is Louise Homfrey, in this instance her name misspelt in the credits as Louise Humphrey. Once again, she plays a neighbour who is pissed off about being bothered. I wonder what Louise Homfrey did to get in the mood for these tours-de-force. Anyway, always good to see her. 

In this case she's talking with an extremely nasty piece of work, Bob Anderson, played by Bill Pearson. Aplomb all round.
