Came across still another Errol reference on the British sitcom ARE YOU BEING SERVED–they are trying to drum up business at the department store and comment that a famous golfer was signing golf balls in the sports section. They wonder who what famous person would be appropriate to autograph trousers and Captain Peacock mentions, “The only name that comes to mind is Errol Flynn!”

I love the old bawdy British sitcom ARE YOU BEING SERVED and I was watching some old episodes the other day. They made 2 Flynn references in 2 different shows. In one, Mrs. Slocombe refers to a gentleman as being as handsome as Errol Flynn. In another, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Humphries are admonished by the head of the department for fooling around with the sign-in book. He says something like “If the sign-in book is to be believed Errol Flynn signed in yesterday at 9:00 followed by Oscar Wilde at 9:02.” Love catching those references!

I was watching the “Pocketful of Rye” episode from the recent MARPLE series and there's a great scene where Miss Marple charms the local inspector into letting her help with the case by commenting how handsome he is and telling him how much he resembles Errol Flynn. The inspector happily strokes his Flynn-esque mustache and, of course, allows Miss Marple to help with the investigation.

Producer/director Kent Hagen reports a major find– he has sighted Errol in the 1950 film noir HIGHWAY 301. He is hanging out in the background of one of the scenes. Since Errol was friends with the film's star Steve Cochran, we assume Errol decided to pop into the movie on a lark. Has anyone else out there seen Errol in this film?
HIGHWAY 301 is currently available on DVD from Warner Archives. Check it out!
