Auction nostalgia

#322
Green "Number 96" delicatessen jacket, as worn by Harry Michaels as Giovanni Lenzi.
Bought at auction after the series ended (in 1977).


Underneath the jacket, the red T-shirt reads "I'm quite ardamant about that", a Dorrie Evans catch-phrase from the show. Unused wardrobe item made for Andrew Mercado, TV1's "The Best of Number 96" (2000).

who was playing Principal Margaret Gibson in TV's "Glenview High" at the time (1978).
