who was the phantom flan flinger?
I've just found out who played the part of the Phantom Flan Flinger!

 

The first was - believe it or not - Jim Davison, next up was Davison's then girlfriend Jane Beaumont. She was followed by Davison's chauffeur Kevin Laming but as he was not an Equity member he was quickly replaced by the fourth and final Phamtom, Benny Mills who was also a taxi driver when not flinging flans!
