Notes
- Richard Tolan was born in 1963 and attended school in Doncaster in South Yorkshire. He won the role of Joby in the 2-part drama of the same name competing in auditions with approximately 200 other boys, where, according to one contemporary newspaper report, he struck the casting directors as "a genuine Yorkshire lad with an authentic accent who had no preconceived ideas about acting." He was eventually chosen for the title role from the final 20 auditionees by director James Ormerod. Whilst filming, he broke his arm falling off a bicycle, but was able to carry on with the aid of a special plaster cast that could be temporarily removed when a scene was being shot. "Joby" was to be Richard's only screen acting role as a juvenile. However, from 1980 to 1987 he was to enjoy an acting career in television as an adult, amongst other roles appearing as Lance Corporal Pinker in episode 12 of the 1984 TV miniseries "The Jewel in the Crown". What happened to him subsequently is unknown.
