Played Gunner "Gloria" Beaumont in every episode, the stage show, and the LP. (Character later promoted to Bombadier following the departure of George Layton from the series)

CHARACTER PROFILE Gloria is by far the most theatrical member of the concert party and is nearly always playing the lead female role in each production.  Always striving for artistic perfection, he can be easily upset by being surrounded by "Amateurs".  His main ambition, other than to avoid being posted up the jungle, is to see his name in lights at a West End production.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE Melvyn was the subject of an edition of This Is Your Life, which was transmitted on ITV on the 28th January 1981.  As yet, (having not viewed it) I am unsure of which IAHHM actors were present.
