Pat in Cockade magazine (no.10), and stills from The Playbirds film. The “occult” shots with her covered in blood appear to be from a photo-shoot done during the making of the Playbirds film which Sullivan then passed off as being from the “uncut, European version” of that film.





Pat in the middle two, and bottom right pictures.


The Cockade article repeats a claim -made several times during the promotion of the Playbirds film- that Pat had appeared on The Generation Game. I initially dismissed this as a typical piece of Sullivan guff, but thinking about it I suppose she could have been on that show. Pat definitely had a few legit TV gigs around that time (Are You Being Served, The Dick Emery Show, etc), and The Generation Game did hire several of Pat’s comtempories, Suzy Mandel for one, told me she’d been in sketches for The Gen’ Game.

Another of Pat’s legit TV gigs was acting in an episode of a TV show called “The Wilde Alliance” (1978), which is due to be released on DVD next month. I don’t fancy forking out 30 quid for a DVD just to see Pat in a bit part, but if anyone I know buys the DVD I’ll ask them to run off some screenshots.
