PETERSPOTTING  
      ________________________________________________________________________________________

      How many ways can a man die? - You'd be surprised!

      During the course of his fifty year career, Peter Diamond choreographed or performed in
      who-knows-how-many different stunts, fights, crashes, tumbles and plunges. He died in
      inumerable fun, gruesome, stupid, and spectacular ways, and his many deaths gave rise
      to the family game of 'Peterspotting'.

       'Look! - There he is being sandwiched by those cars!'
       'Cor! - That's him getting throttled and knifed!'

      Of course, it wasn't always about death. Peter had actually trained at RADA and was a
      qualified actor. From time to time, he was able to get into slightly meatier speaking roles,
      through characters on the periphery of the action. Peter portrayed the Immortal Fasil in the
      first 'Highlander' film, he was 'Zorro's fencing master Sir Eric Randall in new World's 'Zorro'
      series, and he featured as several different characters in the early series of 'Dr Who'.
      Pinning down all those appearances is going to take time, but as and when we identify
      them, you can bet we'll add the details here on the site - look for the boxed out sections
      on the indexed films and shows.
      
      Next time you're watching one of the productions identified on these pages, take a look
      for Peter's face on screen. And if you see him, wish him luck, because he's probably just
      about to come a cropper!...
