from Eighties Archive Podcast · host David Arscott + John Mabey

**This episode contains excerpts of 3rd party music content**We welcome London born actor Mark Baxter, who is best known for his role of Duane Orpington in Grange Hill, but also scored child roles in movies like The Omen and Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. Mark tells us all about his work on the stage in Oliver and is quite frank about how badly child actors were treated in the 70s & 80s, by way of low wages and were exploited as a cheap resource. As well as delivering a fantastic ghost story, he also chose some 80s bangers for us.Mark is very passionate about the inspiring and important charity work is now involved in - DA
