Brian Epstein was a good guy

Been learning recently about many bands in the 60s, for example The Zombies, Small Faces, later on Badfinger, who were ripped off by management and barely saw any money. Or some artists who had a complete a-hole gangster for a manager, like Don Arden. The Beatles were fortunate to have Brian on board and the contrast of someone with good intentions like Brian, versus the Allen Klein's of this world couldn't be any clearer.

The character actors who pop up in countless British films. When you see them you go 'ah, it's them again'. You know their faces but can't put a name to them. Just a selection here. I'm sure there are other obvious ones I have forgotten.

I know they are all men but I found it difficult to find female equivalents. The films I checked out had female actors but I knew the name of them by sight. Dora Bryan, Irene Handl, Beryl Reed for example.

I actually do know the name of the middle guy on the left, only because I've seen many Hammer films. There's a clue..
