Ha Ha! My g/f has just asked who on Earth David Prowse is. I had to laugh, then again he's one of those rare breed of actors that everybody knows, but of whom none know the name. And in a weird twist, I just found out that Sebastian Shaw also had a role.
For those who have no idea, David Prowse was the guy in the Darth Vader suit for Eps IV-VI, who is one of the nicest guys on Earth (in met him at a pub in Dorset) and Seb Shaw was the guy who was the face and the hologram of Darth Vader in Ep VI b4 GL changed it to Hayden Christensen
My Episode Guide Database is almost complete. I just would like to include a list of guest cast.

Before Star Wars, David Prowse was probably best known as the body builder/bodyguard in A Clockwork Orange.

David Prowse was one of the stars in the Hammer Horror studio, along with Peter Cushing, Peter Mayhew, Christopher Lee, Vincent Price and the little short dude, crap, can't think of his name.

Yes on both counts. The Peter Cushing Dr Who movies both centre on the Daleks. I have them both on DVD. Not especially wonderful, but Dr Who nonetheless.
Whould it be wrong of me to assume that George Lucas was a Hammer Horror fan?
