He was a truly lovely guy with such a dry sense of humour and I last met him at an audition in Dulwich in 1988. I am pleased he has a certain immortality. Kind regards.

We lost touch in the mid-80s. I wondered what happened to him.Jack Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881874015595301582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325675586997641933.post-82564401507284694842021-02-15T13:17:26.757+00:002021-02-15T13:17:26.757+00:00Thanks, Jason.

Colin Jackson was one of those rare characters who pass briefly through the Street that I found myself wondering about after he'd left the scene. Very real.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476860681853867684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325675586997641933.post-33700722810737461032021-02-14T22:00:05.118+00:002021-02-14T22:00:05.118+00:00Hi

Some of my colleagues DID watch Casualty, but I wanted a break from work-type themes when I wasn't there! <br /><br />I was doing some research into 1980s Casualty the other week, and found Paul Lowther's episode, "Taking Stock", on YouTube - a very different role from Colin Jackson in The Street, but very well played.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476860681853867684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325675586997641933.post-88799424383287413202013-10-02T22:04:55.879+01:002013-10-02T22:04:55.879+01:00I think the first 3 series are out on DVD, so that...I think the first 3 series are out on DVD, so that doesn't include this episode. I have the UK Gold repeats on DVD of the1989 episodes, and the character of Mike, played by Paul, was a slightly uppity paramedic. Casualty was great back then, but I understand what you mean in your comment, Andrew. Watching it would have been a bit of a "bus man's holiday" if you were actually working in that kind of setting!Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325675586997641933.post-75492721075652660532013-08-28T01:09:58.569+01:002013-08-28T01:09:58.569+01:00Sorry, I don't know - I wasn't a Casualty ...Sorry, I don't know - I wasn't a Casualty fan - I worked in hospital and care settings at the time, and didn't want to watch a high-octane fictional version on Friday or Saturday nights. Besides, Friday and Saturday nights were "Big Night Outs" for me back then, dedicated to pubs, clubs and... er... romance! And I hadn't mastered the timer on the rented VCR, even if I HAD wanted to watch it another time! The episode with Paul Lowther was called "Taking Stock" and was broadcast in 1989. Some series of Casualty have been released on DVD. I'm not sure if the series containing this episode is one of them.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476860681853867684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325675586997641933.post-21474879903606074682013-08-27T23:36:00.990+01:002013-08-27T23:36:00.990+01:00I've googled and Paul Lowther played somebody ...I've googled and Paul Lowther played somebody called "Mike" in Casualty.

I didn't like the character of Sue Jackson much. No wonder Colin went after other women!Gazzanoreply@blogger.com
