I’m trying to track down A Place to Hide from 1976. Anyone here help?
Made by ATV it aired on Sunday afternoons for 6 weeks in 1976. Terry Duggan plays the former illusionist and now guest house owner taken hostage by a family of bank robbers led by Arthur White.
I’d love to see it again; the tension made me feel quite uneasy watching it as a kid.
I first saw the late, great Terry Duggan in the sixty’s possibly seventies. He was the compare at a gentleman’s club ( The Royal Hanworth Naval Club ) in Feltham Middlesex. He was a fantastic comedian, I thought then your goings to go a long way in the acting business. A sad miss R.I.P.
