Very sad to hear of the passing of actor John Carson today . . .for
Hammer fans he will be remembered for his performances in The Plague of
the Zombies, Taste the Blood of Dracula and Captain Kronos - Vampire
Hunter. His last professional role was for Donald Fearney, in his Amicus
films documentary, 'The Amicus Vault of Horrors' last year . . .
John
Carson with Peter in the BBC broadcast of 'CAVES OF STEEL' in 1964. All
that remains of the production are just a few minutes, saved because
they were included in another BBC programme a few years after the play's
initial broadcast...after which the play was wiped. . .
