Default Barbara Ewing - 'A Ghost Story for Christmas / The Ash Tree'

There are several postings on this thread referring to ‘Schalken the Painter’ as a program within the BBC’s ‘Ghost Story for Christmas’ series. Strictly speaking, although that fine program featuring Cheryl Kennedy’s only topless scene was shown at Xmas 1979 it did not form part of that series. The 8 programs in ‘Ghost Story’ ran from 1971-1978 (and were repeated in the 1980s).

However 2 of those 8 programs also featured rare topless scenes by other actresses. I have included a link for one of them below - the Xmas 1975 Ghost Story; this was ‘The Ash Tree’ and featured Barbara Ewing. She is probably best known in the UK for her portrayal as Agnes Fairchild in the 1980s C4 comedy series ‘Brass’. She has long been UK-resident but was actually born in NZ. She performed one other topless scene in an early program from the ‘Country Matters’ series shown in UK on ITV in the early 1970s. I will try to dig that out and upload it onto RS sometime. Incidentally I’m surprised not to see clips from other episodes of ‘Country Matters’ here – many showed topless scenes. Any offers from anyone?

The other Ghost story with a topless scene was ‘Stigma’ (1977). This includes the UK actress Kate Binchy’s only breast-baring outing. She is still going strong, currently appearing as Granny in the comedy series ‘Alastair Fury’! Again I will try to upload that clip sometime.
