Cliff’s Pals
As a sort of unofficial repertory company, Una Stubbs, Richard O’Sullivan, and Melvyn Hayes each appeared in two of Cliff Richard’s film musicals. All three are in “Wonderful Life”, Una & Melvyn both appear in “Summer Holiday”, and Richard features in “The Young Ones”.
Prior to “It Ain’t Half Hot Mum” with Windsor Davies, Melvyn Hayes appeared in films including “The Man Who Loved Redheads” with Harry Andrews, “The Curse of Frankenstein” with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, “Violent Playground” with David McCallum, “No Trees in the Street” with Herbert Lom, Stanley Holloway, and Carole Lesley, “Crooks in Cloisters” with Barbara Windsor and Bernard Cribbins, “Go for a Take” with Dennis Price, David Prowse, and Julie Ege, “The Zany Adventures of Robin Hood” with Fenella Fielding, as well as one of the last Carry On films, “Carry On England” with Joan Sims and Kenneth Connor, and reunited with Richard O’Sullivan in the “Man About The House” film with Yootha Joyce.
Just some of his television projects include “Redcap” with John Thaw, “Danger Man” with Patrick McGoohan, “Doctor at Large” with Madeline Smith, “Now Look Here” with Ronnie Corbett, and “Dick Turpin” with Susan Hampshire, but to many he’ll always be fondly remembered for “Man About The House with Yootha Joyce, which had many actors guesting including Dennis Waterman, and “Robin’s Nest” which saw both Honor Blackman and Barbara Murray play Robin’s Mother-in-law.
It’s interesting to note that Cliff’s pals of Una, Richard O’Sullivan, and Melvyn Hayes, from his early 1960s films, would go on to play such a prominent part in 70s and 80s television, with Una sparring alongside Lionel Blair in the charades game show “Give Us A Clue” and in “Worzel Gummidge” with Barbara Windsor, Richard in “Man About The House” and “Robin’s Nest”, and Melvyn in “It Ain’t Half Hot Mum”.
