In The Secret of the Creaking Stair Marmaduke the ghost is still managing to get up to mischief, Mrs Pouncer is convinced she is seeing things.

There was an in-depth two page interview with Stacey Gregg in the weeks TV Times as part of their ‘Women’s Lib’ special (other featured included Germaine Greer, Coral Atkins and Julie Stevens). Stacey, 25 at the time, had spent years living in the US and had been married and divorced. She had grown up in the US after her parents marriage ended. Her father was the composer Hubert Gregg (his most famous song is Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner) and her mother was the singer Zoe Gail.

The issue also had a short snippet on William Mervyn, focusing on his mellifluous voice, he said “it’s an agony of a voice, especially when I hear it. But I admit that many people say they find it attractive.”

Stacey Gregg was in her mid twenties playing teenage Daffy.
