To most people, Keith Michell was a noted and extremely talented Australian character actor and singer with a long and illustrious career on stage and screen, usually playing English characters.

His performance as Henry VIII in the 1970 BBC drama The Six Wives of Henry VIII of the same name is superlative, he appeared in multiple musicals in the West End and Broadway, and you might also know him for his multiple appearances in "Murder, She Wrote" as Dennis Stanton, the charming jewel thief turned insurance investigator who was a longtime friend of Jessica Fletcher's.

However, for a certain small cross section of British youth, we were introduced to him via a completely unexpected route: a role he took on in 1980 as the narrator of a novelty single (Don't make me feel even older by asking what a single was, look it up) outlining the adventures of Captan Beaky (and his band) based on a collection of poems

The bravest animals in the land are Captain Beaky and his band That's Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat They march through the woodlands singing songs That tell how they have righted wrongs!

Interview with Helena Michell about A Piece of Cake (ITV 1988) in the Northampton Chronicle Echo of 21st October 1988:

WHEN the script of ITV's big-budget wartime series Piece of Cake called for Helena Michell to strip for a love scene, it wasn't only viewers who were to be denied a glimpse of her assets.

"NOBODY saw anything," she coyly confesses. "It was a closed set—which means that only those people who absolutely had to be there were allowed to get close.

"And even they wouldn't have seen any bare flesh because I was covered in sheets and towels between takes."

Helena, daughter of actor Keith Michell, plays wartime wife Mary in the hit Sunday night series.

"Actually the love scenes were great fun and not at all sexy. Jeremy Northam, who plays my husband, is an old friend of mine since our days together at the Bristol Old Vic."

Helena, 26, who also appears in this Sunday's BBC TV play No. 27, has had a busy time since leaving drama school two years ago.

As well as Piece of Cake, she has made The Deceivers, with Pierce Brosnan, which has just opened in London.

"That was such fun to make," she said. "It meant spending two and a half months in India which was a wonderful experience."

She has also made another film, Maurice, as well as appearing in a Miss Marple story.

For now, though, she is concentrating on theatre. On November 2 she opens in J.B. Priestley's Time and the Conways, at Bromley.

There is talk of the play going into the West End after further stints at Richmond, Winchester, and Brighton, so she's keeping her diary open.

If it comes to nothing, bachelor girl Helena is unlikely to be out of work for long... even if it isn't in the acting business.

She wisely spent two and a half years in the "real world" in secretarial and advertising jobs, before going into show-business.

"So I can always go back to doing that—if anyone will have me."

Her film and TV work has netted her a small fortune but already most of it has been spent.

"I spent a lot of money in India. It cost a fortune to phone home and I was tempted to buy a lot of lovely things, like carpets. But most of it went on a home, which I have bought with friends."

Her proud parents will be in the audience on the opening night of her play.

"Dad is very pleased with what I'm doing... but he's never encourage me or dissuaded me to go into the business. I think it was just a foregone conclusion that I would follow in his footsteps eventually."

Yet another reason to kill Chevalier…

Let’s just pretend Clavis invented smartphones and tried to impress Chev with his camera skills

There's also no way he would ever call himself ugly
