Watching series one again, I've noticed there appears to be an 8th man in the hut who the characters nod to but he is never mentioned by name. In the second episode he enters the bar and the camera zooms in on him and follows him.

Who is it? An undeveloped character?

Agree though, the original 2 series were excellent

All that IMDB has on the subject. You don't need to be eagle eyed though, the camera follows him!

iirc
He is in one of the first bar scenes isn't he?

I can't watch it until tomorrow (I'm knackered and off to bed now)...I'm going to watch it in the morning.

Aye, such a strange thing though. You see him shaving too.

It's on Virgin on demand too if anyone doesn't have the DVDs

Funnily enough, I've just finished watching the boxset and had the DVD to hand.

Here's a screen shot from episode 2 showing the mystery man (far right), just seconds before Moxey makes his debut with dartboard underarm.

One of the best British shows of the 80s. And one of the greatest ever, very good writing and acting.
I also like the later ones.

The first one with the bridge was good. It was nice to see them all moved on, and it was still in the realm of reality with a story that was similar to the first. The law of diminishing returns comes into it when they go to Cuba, and the old traditional standby of secret agent/fish out of water bks comes into it. Such a lazy way of continuing a story. Acting still good but the plot gets stretched.
