The actor who played Mr. Blessington (Patrick Newell) also played Inspt. Lestrade in Geoffrey Whitehead's Sherlock Holmes TV series just a few years earlier.
@Theta101 The actor is Nicholas Clay - he is in another Sherlock Holmes, but with Ian Richardson as the great detective- in Hound of the Baskervilles. Also he is in the film Excalibur with a young Helen Mirren. Unfortunately he is no longer with us.
If you think about it, Blessington probably ended up with about a quarter of the money himself; after all, he was paying for the supplies, groceries, servant salaries, etc out of his three-quarter share.
@xihakuix Not at the beginning, about mid-way through... I've found that's the case with some of the videos on RUclips uploaded as such... Oh well, I'll take Holmes, even out of sync...
Thanks for uploading this. It's one of my favourites.

Right you are!
Fortunately, Dr. Trevelyon now can keep all the earning for himself

@Theta101 I know this is an old comment but had to reply. Nicholas Clay (the doctor) played Lancelot in Excalibur
@Imverycute2 From the movies, yeah lol... for a moment I wondered if I was about to see "James Doohan" on the opening credits lol...
@Imverycute2 Ha!! He does indeed!! Or at least when Scottie was older. I thought there was something familiar about his face. Thank you :)
Second part has sound track shortness....started over, but still was there.
Not only does Blessington resemble Scottie, he also bears a striking resemblance to Harry Potter's uncle. How strange...
@dragonrider4874 Ever counted the Violets in the series??!
I have the same deal with my boss he gets rich while I do all the work
POWERS JOHNSON Haha, by no means a unique experience.
Is the actor playing Percy any relation to colin baker? He reminds me so much of the sixth Doctor
They are not in tone with the words. Off a bit. Still love it though.
The soundtrack is out of sync..quite maddening!
Really maddening. I might need to become a resident patient myself.
yes the turespic and the undso just aren't thertoge.
Does anyone think Trevelyan looks like Paul McGann's Doctor Who with shorter hair?
isn't this the 3rd Percy in the series?
dragonrider4874 I was just thinking that!
