Alexandra Bastedo. Blokes of a certain age will have fond memories of her in the 'The Champions' TV series. I know I do. Subject of many a formative teenage fantasy.  cloud9:

Anyway, she is back on TV soon. "Phwoar!" I hear middle aged men cry, "what is she in TG? Please tell us!"




















Ok. I will..............



















Eastenders.  noooo:

She featured in my fantasies too. I recalled hearing a few years ago that she has an animal rescue centre. You may want to let Mrs TG know?

Not quite as far as that mad bitch thankfully.

Looking at her blog it doesnt look like shes going to be in the movie version of the 'The Champions' that is being made at the moment. She could play her own granny or summat.  cloud9:

Still, whats Hollywood compared to a couple of episodes of eastenders.  rubschin:

Given the wide smile and what the horse is doing to him, quite likely.
