Actors came and went but barmaid Doris Walton kept on pulling the pints behind the pumps
Actors came and went but barmaid Doris Walton kept on pulling the pints behind the pumps at the Theatre Royal bar in Newcastle.
But when TV comedy star Terry Scott came to town she had to take a break from duty to see her favourite star.
" Terry is great fun and is one of those people with a laughter face. Its always nice to see all of the actors come back - especially Terry, " said 56-year-old Doris, of Beacon Lough, Gateshead, who had worked at the bar for 11 years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic photo print, we are transported back to the Theatre Royal bar in Newcastle during the 1980s. The caption tells us that while actors may have come and gone, one constant presence remained behind the pumps - barmaid Doris Walton. Doris, a 56-year-old woman from Beacon Lough, Gateshead, had dedicated 11 years of her life to serving patrons at the beloved establishment. However, when TV comedy star Terry Scott made his way into town, even Doris couldn't resist taking a break from her duties to catch a glimpse of her favorite star. Describing Terry as "great fun" with a contagious laughter face, Doris's admiration for him shines through. She expresses joy in seeing all the actors return to the bar but reserves a special place for Terry in her heart. This image captures not only an era but also highlights how celebrities can touch our lives and bring excitement into everyday routines. It serves as a reminder that even those who work tirelessly behind the scenes deserve moments of enjoyment and appreciation. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of the power of humor and how it connects people across different walks of life – be it on stage or behind a bar counter.
