[THE_EPISTLE] I've found Hoppy!

[Peter Sewell]

Absolutely.  When I watched Hart to Hart I had the same thought.
It was only later reading other saint books that I realised "Hoppy" was 
white.

I think I've always thought of Hoppy as coloured!

The only other actor I could think of is Lionel Stander, (played the 
chauffeur in Hart to Hart) Got the looks (?) and that voice!!

Lionel would be far too old, and I think he's dead anyhow!

Can't think of anyone really ugly though!

Take care,

Engineers do it by calculation and design.
