We were talking about Rentaghost just the other day in relation to this weekend's 70s themed party.
Can you imagine, after all the years at RADA the soul destroying rounds of rejection, getting your big break on the telly, omly then to find yourself typecast, leaving Mr Claypole as your career pinnacle?

Beats dying from AIDS having done nothing for 20 years SINCE you were Mr Claypole.

Christ, I may actually have offended myself here.

Apparently he died 3 years after leaving Rentaghost
Which makes me wonder...

'Has he come back as a ghost?'

According to Wiki
He had a big role in Starlight Express too.

But musicals like that are well gay, and might have caused him to get AIDS.

Musical aids is the worst form.

I think he came from SE straight to Rentaghost.
They rewrote his character to be a roller-skating jester, accordingly.

I think I know more about this than is healthy.
