Mr Clark

Mr Clark was a taxi driver who was booked to take Jack and Annie Walker to a Licenced Victuallers' ball one night in May 1961. He arrived late having been delayed due to bad traffic when driving his previous fare to Sparkle Street and had to offer his apologies. He drove the well-dressed couple off, watched by a sneering Ena, Minnie and Martha. He then brought the Walkers back at 3.00am and was told to keep the change for his troubles.


 * Credited as "Taxi Driver", the character was named in dialogue. He was played by Bert Palmer who was married to Lynne Carol (Martha Longhurst) though he was credited under his occasional stage name of "Newal Palmer".
