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.
16th September, 1980

In this nostalgic print from 1980, we catch a glimpse of the bustling Theatre Royal bar in Newcastle. Amidst the constant flow of actors coming and going, one familiar face remains steadfast behind the pumps - barmaid Doris Walton. For over a decade, she has been faithfully pulling pints and serving patrons with her warm smile. However, when TV comedy star Terry Scott graced the town with his presence, even dedicated Doris couldn't resist taking a break from her duties to see her favorite actor in action. Describing Terry as "great fun" and possessing a contagious laughter face, Doris eagerly awaited his return to the theater. This snapshot captures not only an era but also highlights the special bond between performers and their loyal fans. It's evident that for Doris, seeing all actors come back was always a delight, especially when it came to Terry Scott.
