    Out of place

    Appearing in a Whodunnit? play was the TV equivalent of treading the boards in a provincial theatre, and whether you were in the play or on the panel was often a unnervingly accurate indication of where your career was at that particular point in time. Occasionally, faces in the plays would surprise you and, in The Q45 Experiment, it is Linda Hayden who seems oddly out of place. But she was no longer the star she had been or the cult figure she would become, so perhaps we should just enjoy seeing her in a minor role in an intimate setting.
