The 'Paul is Dead' freaks have missed a trick. Jim @ 27 mins 35 secs is the obvious love child of Paul and John. This goes even deeper than they think!
Keith Naylor
Yep I thought the resemblance was uncanny!
He just needed the glasses and the accent!

Poor Richard O’Sullivan nowadays! He’s in a very bad way physically and mentally. Shame when you think how boyish and successful he was from being a child actor.
BadWebDiver
Couldn't believe that was a young Robert Lindsay as the drummer!
Plastic Manc Voguish
He was married to the actress (the keyboard player in this).
Benjamin Clasper
The man who played Tony called ted Richards
I think he was on the rainbow telltale singers as part of the group on rainbow the tv series
Back around in 1972 and perhaps early 1973 too with the other group members who sang the songs originally before rod, Jane and Freddy joined and telltale also the original rainbow theme song too for the whole series.
Does anybody else think so at all or agree?
