    WATCH ALL NIGHT was made for teens by Granada TV. I play(Robert Longden )a librarian who the heroine (Lucinda Bateman,) meets on a train. Her father is kidnapped ,(He's a scientist,) and I(as a librarian,) become involved in helping her unravel the mystery of his disappearance I drive a green Citreon/Fiat throughout but I couldn't drive so the technicians hauled me into a scene driving with a rope. So why on earth did they employ me. I was a young light comedian and my banter with Lucinda was entertaining. Enjoy.

      Posting the 7th and last episode this evening, it's a very dramatic finale to say the least! Glad you are enjoying it again, and thanks for your support.

    Groundbreaking in its way for making someone who would be described as "A Nerd", the hero.

      She is also in Echoes Of Louisa ( on RUclips) from 1981.
      She was quite the face on tv at the start of the 80s.
