RADIO TIMES COVER - Nov 1983
The Caird Hall made it onto the cover of the Radio Times when the film "An Englishman Abroad" was broadcast on BBC - 29th Nov 1983. The cover also shows Alan Bates who played the role of spy, Guy Burgess, in the play written by Alan Bennett. The film was directed by John Schlesinger. They also filmed some scenes inside the Caird Hall and around Exchange Street.
Mrs Rathbone, who was a teacher at my school, acted as an extra in this programme. She's the lady sitting next to Bates in the theatre.
In real life, she was related to Basil Rathbone and also a holocaust survivor no less. She had a number tattoo on her wrist everything. She was very elegant and cultured.

I had my wedding photos taken on the steps of the Caird Hall....but not with Lenin!
